Don't you think 6-cylinders sports cars are a rip-off? They don't have that "performance",?

Question

Years ago, I wasted thousands of dollars on a Camaro and it wasn't an 8-cylinder, it was a dumb 6-cylinder. I was miserable with it. I want speed, I want power, I want that burn-out get up and go with 300+ hp. That 1998 6-cylinder Camaro was too slow. It didn't have that power I truly wanted.

Answer 1

I hear you on that one, man. I've been looking for a late 80s/early 90s Mustang 5.0 for the last several years, and most of the available ones I've come across, are carrying dinky little 4 cylinder jobs. If I'm going to buy an American sports-car, I want the real deal! When I press that accelerator, I want the car to thrust forward with power and that engine better roar like a lion when I start hitting 45-60 mph.

But hey! At least you had a sports-car! You could be like me, and stuck with a nice-looking yet incredibly boring-to-drive 4 cylinder sedan. lol

Answer 2

You should check and test drive before buying the car. It cannot be that you had been cheated. The sale man must have told you that the car is six cylinder engine. The grant of the car shows the make and model. You should had known earlier. Now you're complaining. It's totally your fault. Do not blame the seller or the car. It's your own mistake.

You want a powered Car?. Lots at the Market. Get a Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Honda Legend and a lot more. You can have the power of the car. You can do what ever speed you want.

Answer 3

Depends on the size of the car...

Porsche does rather well with 6 cylinders...

***********

The Datsun (later to become renamed "Nissan") 280Z was originally designed for a GM 350 V-8. The deal for the engines fell through so they designed a 6 cyl for it... Very successful high performance car series for the low budget crowd.

Then there was the Opel Manta... 4 cyl... Poor man's porsche. Essentially a miniature of the Corvette... and could pass the Corvette on the corners. Didn't have quite the same top end...

Answer 4

Give me a break have you driven a 2007 Nissan 350Z? V-6 305 hp. I own a 421 rear axle hp V-8 engined 2006 pontiac GTO. That Z car can toast me into the turns and keep ahead of me until the straightaways where more power I pass the Z and watch as he out drives me thru the twisty parts. So you haven't seen what foreign V-6 of the modern era can do?

Answer 5

Well, a "muscle car" with 6 cylinders certainly is a rip off. A sports car can have any number of cylinders though, even 2. Look at almost any BMW, Nissan Skyline, Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi 3000GT and plenty others.

Straight sixes rule.

Answer 6

ya....but a 1998 camaro....how many thousands of dolars did you spend?.....and you should have known it wasnt gunna give you the 8 cylinder performance....the six is good for smaller cars and if you know how to work them....if you put a 6 cyl 2.8L in a little toyota or something and you put some air intake adjustments it will blow the doors off a 6 cyl camaro.....but theres just nuthin like a good ol american chevy.....

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

you should have gotten the 8 cylinder. get a new car with 8 cylinders, but test drive it to make sure its "what your looking for" in order to prevent losing $$$.

Answer 9

well you need a new camaro. the 2007 camaro has all of that you want.

Also you can get any of that, if you only get a civic and hook it up and it will cost you less than 10k

Answer 10

you should have kept the car and dropped a V8 into it, most people don't buy 6 cyl. cars for performance.
