I hope your estimates on a v6 Camaro's power levels are realistic. It would be nice to finally have a v6 Camaro for once that was more than just a styling exercise.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado
there is no excuse for any straight American man to buy a naturally aspirated V6 Camaro when there is a V8 Camaro available.
If Chevy offered a V8 Colorado, I would be driving one right now instead of my Silverado. Mine would have to have the Extreme package with the sportier body color grille, bumpers, spoiler, and 18" wheels. Or if there were a V8 SS version available, I would be in it. However, I do not see any V8 Colorado costing the same as, or anywhere close to a V6 Camaro unless the Camaro tries to copy the Nissan Z.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado
While we're on the topic of a 300+ hp V6. Wouldn't it be interesting if it were available with either - or even both - a luxury package an/or a sport package.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado
I wonder what the motivation is for this poll. 
I chose the V6 Camaro, because A) I'm a Camaro nut and B) if it's as quick as the V8 Colorado, handles better (presumably) and is cheaper then why not?
FWIW, I am not condoning a mid-level engine being a V6 however. I love JasonE's 5.3 V8 model.
As far as questioning one's sexuality buying a V6 Camaro instead of a V8, well, I used to have that opinion too. Until I came to realize that cool V6's is where the heart of the "pony car" lineup is. That's where at least 50% of your sales come from. A good V6 car is a must, and it must be looked at as being "cool" or else the bottom falls out of everything above it.
