No replacement for displacement.

That V6 better be real good! It certainly isn't winning this poll.

Hmm, Camaro enthusiast website, you think the numbers might be a little skewed compared to the general populace?

I wanted a V8 but it doesn't look like its going to be under 30k so I going to pick the V6 for now, but it could change at the time it shows up in the show room.

I am getting a V8 if its priced under 30k, if it's not will just get a used C6(plan b).

I get 17mpg avg right now in my truck, and if the V8 gets worse than that.. well I don't see that happening so I will be gaining on the gas front(with either the vette or camaro).

if chevy comes out with a new camaro that has a decent amount of power and good gas millage and around 23-25k for a v6 i might just go for the v6 an i wasnt planing on buying a new camaro.

with me the v6 is gona be the deal breaker. i hope that this engine will also have a good amount of aftermarket for it to.

I plan on stepping up to a V8. I'm glad the V6 Camaro will finally have some respectable power from the factory, but I'll be trading in my '98 V6 for an SS next year.

When the time comes for me to buy a 5th gen, I will test drive a V6, just to be sure.

However, I'd estimate that the odds of me buying a V6 instead of a V8 are about 1 in 1000.

Ditto. Went with a 3800 on my first Y87/M5 Camaro and while it was a good and reliable car, MUCH more reliable and with better handling than my current Z28, it never really felt like a "Camaro" and for the TEN years that I owned/drove it, I always felt I was missing out.

I'm sure the V6 is going to be a great car, but if I were to buy a new Camaro, it would have to be a V8.

Wow. Exactly put. it was pretty quick but I always just wished it was the LS1. My 69 350 2 bbl I wished was a 302 cross ram. If I get the V6 Ill wish it was the LS3. just something personal to me. If I get the Camaro it will be the LS3

I think no matter how good that V6 car is alot of people still might feel that way you did. When it comes to the Camaro, most people really want a V8 regardless of what they buy. I have felt that way before too. Probably not gonna be a V8 below $30,000 though with options and all so get used to it I guess.

The majority of V6 buyers aren't looking for the 'Camaro' experience anyways: they're not looking for the V8. They're just looking for a awesome-looking car that they can be proud of and show off. They might just want the name. But if the car is truly as good as the disciples have described, these people are going to get the Camaro experience whether they wanted it or not. 300hp is 300hp no matter where it's coming from. And the team doesn't sound like they just threw the V6 model together as an afterthought; so it's bound to perform admirably, whatever a person's opinion of V6s might be.

Then you've got the people who don't NEED a V8. They want one, in fact they drool over it just thinking about it, but it's not a do-or-die factor so long as the performance is there. People like me. The good news this time around, is that if we end up having to buy the V6 model (for whatever reason) we won't have to "settle" for anything. This car won't be a slouch that makes us wish we had a V8 every time we drive it.

I want a V8. If things go the way I plan...I'll have a V8. But I'm going to test-drive both; because this potent little V6 is more than worth that much. If things don't go as planned, I know I won't be disappointed in purchasing the V6 model.

If the G8 could do it, the Camaro can do it. Count on it.

After hearing all you guys and gals talk, I'll need to see and drive the V6 before I make up my mind, and before I was all V8. This car is reminding me of the old Buick T-Types and GNs from '86 and '87 (I think someone else already said this too). Those were some fun cars, and i thought seriously about trying to trade my '85 IROC for an '87 GNX in Greenville, SC (kinda wish I had now!)
Anyway, the real engine that I want though is neither the DI V6 OR the premiere V8. I WANT THE DIRECT INJECTED V8, and I hope it's not that long a time in coming!

Oh you can bet the aftermarket for all models of Camaro is gonna be huge. As far as
the V8 vs V6 debate goes, if you ever bought a car and regretted getting the smaller
engine then you better get the V8. Even if the V6 is a kick *** motor your nature
will always be telling you you have less. For me, this is not the case, I could give
a crap if someone thinks my car would be anything less with the V6. As long as I am
personally happy with the car that's all that matters and no one can ruin it for me.
Having said that, I am leaning towards the V8, but am anxiously waiting to see what
kind of performer the top line V6 is gonna be.

i just figure with the way gas is going plus the price of the car it just wont be worth it to me to get a v8. i have had 4,6,8 cylinders i have 2 corvettes 2 camaro and ton of other cars. one of my favorite cars right now is my little cobalt. i think 300hp is enogh power to make it a fun car while hope fully not guzzling up gas. i really dont feel the need for 430 hp or more.

for me id like it if it had a 300hp v6 that got fairly good millage. the and i like some after market not because of speed but just because i like to tinker. for some reason i just cant seem to leave things alone with out playing with them a little.

by the way if you think about it 300 hp is more then lt1 probably wont have the trq but still.
