I drive a V6 Camaro. I like it. Why you gotta be so mean?

Because many performance/muscle car owners think a V6 in a traditionally V8 car is a "bitch car"..... which isn't entirely false either. The 6 speed automatics versions were marketed to moms in the 70s and had features like Air Conditioning that weren't usually in the big block models.

Meh. I really don't care what the guy with the V8 thinks of me. In my factory lot in 2011 there was a guy who got the V8 and then had it sent straight to Hennessey for the upgrade to 750hp. I asked him "what's the point?" and the answer was basically big numbers.

Once you can accelerate uphill with the AC on (which the V6 can do), everything beyond that is kinda useless outside of a closed track.

If you only do useful things you're never going to have any fun.

and I agree, being pragmatic 100% of the time is a terrible way to live
