If you've gonna get a "sports car" and you've never driven one before, it needs to be a an 8-cylinder. V6 Camaros are all show and no go. Sometime in the past before I finally got my hands an 8-cylinder sports car, I unfortunately spent all of my hard-earned money on a V6 Camaro years ago and I hated it because I realized what a mistake I made by taking the advice of my folks to not get an V8 yet. I know how to drive.
I think V6 sports cars are only good for someone who's already had their fun with a V8 sports car and now they wanna take it easy. For someone yet to experience the thrill of going 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds, it has to be an 8-cylinder if they're gonna get a "sports car".
A Mustang, Firebird, or a Camaro just isn't a true "performance car" without that true get up and go that's got more power than some sedan. If it's no laster than some sedan, then it's not truly a "performance car", is it? That V6 Camaro I had was no faster than a 2000 Ford F150 with a V8.

NOT TRUE AT ALL. THERE ARE SOME OUTSTANDING SPORTSCARS WITH V-6S. THE BMW M-3 , NISSAN 350Z, AUDI TT, ACURA NSX, LEXUS I-S350 TO NAME A FEW. WEIGHT IS A PROBLEM IN THE MUSTANGS AND CAMEROS AND A SOMEWHAT WEAK V-6S THEY WERE OFFERING AT THE TIME . ALL OF THE ABOVE DO 0-60 IN LESS THAN 6 AND THE M-3 AND NSX DO IT IN LESS 5 SECONDS. IN HEAVIER CARS LIKE THE MUSTANG AND CAMAROS THE V-8S ARE MUCH STRONGER THEN THERE V-6 COUNTERPARTS. THE NEW MUSTANG DOES HAVE A FAIRLY STRONG V-6 240HP. A GOOD SPORTSCAR HAS GOOD HANDLING GOOD POWER AND GOOD WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION--MOST OF ALL IS ALOT OF FUN TO DRIVE. PEOPLE HAVE VERY DIFFERENT IDEAS OF THE ABOVE--TECHNOLOGY HAS OPENED SO MANY DOORS IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY.

Try going with a 1969 Camaro. It's got everything you need. It's got looks, horsepower, and it sound's really good on the street. It's better then any V6 or 4 banger.

There's no replacement for displacement buddy!
Why didn't you just pull the v6 out and drop a v8 in? it would've solved your problem.
