The SS 1LE is my attainable "dream car" in the future, but I don't know if I can get over the visibility. I drove a 5th gen before and that was pretty bad already.

>tfw GM have been doing gay V6s instead of jut slapping a OHC/DOHC head on the stovebolt
>tfw no ultralight roots supercharger dohc L6 camaro to shit on hellcats cause lolweight

Sadly, v6 le will destroy 370z at the track. 370z suspension is not sophisticated. They handle worse then 86, slower then pony cars in straight. It’s “meh” Car at this moment.

>@7200rpm
Useless for street desu

But high-revving engines, in particular V6's and V10's sound really good. It probably sounds better than the V8 honestly; OHV engines should have died decades ago.
Nicholas Rivera
I'm not talking out sound, I'm talking about how it drives. Also I've never heard a v6 irl that sounds good. Always have that farty tone. Never seen a v10 up close so I can't comment on them
>ohv should be dead
Just lol. Nobody gives a fuck about power per litre
Dylan Davis
It's not about power per litre, its about reaching a high redline. That, and most OHV engines sound like something you get in an old truck or bus with a broken muffler.
Carter Murphy
>at high revs
You're fucking retarded, m8. If you want a fun street car, you want the power down in the low revs. There's a reason you don't put a single plane tunnel ram on your daily.
Jackson Jones
But how can you have fun in a car if you're not wringing the engine to its mechanical limits? Besides, you wouldn't daily a high-revving sports car; that would be silly.
Eli Harris
The V6 has DOHC. That's why it screams to 7200 rpm
You won't get a light inline 6 Camaro because of how inline 6's are packaged. The JZ and RB I6's, for example, weigh more than an LS V8. For a proper lightweight 6 cylinder model, the engine needs to be lighter than the V8.
Oh wait, the LGX in the Camaro already is.
>putting a supercharger on the V6
Interesting idea, and one GM's toyed with before. The problem is that a supercharged 3.6 would step on the toes of the V8 model.
It's perfect the way it is. You just hate the car for the sake of hating it.
not him, but I agree. the V6 sounds better than the V8. Honestly, the LGX sounds very similar to Nissan's VQ and VR V6's, likely because they all use the same V angle (60°), and the same firing order (1-2-3-4-5-6)
