I'am getting her back up to shape quick, so it wont be long till she is purring. I also got the v6 and I say they arent so bad, cause its suitiable for everyday things, plus I win almost every race, only lose to the powerful v8's like another firebird has beat me but i knew i wasnt gonna win, i wanted to see him punch it. Most of these people who bash the v6 verison of the firebird has never driven the v6 verison.. BTW - what part of west virginia you from, i used to live in Harpers Ferry
    i'm from charleston west virginia woo yay okies no lol

Most who have the 6's have them because they are cheaper from many aspects. It's not like they don't realize they are not as powerful, the six is just the choice for them at the time. I have a friend on here Todd 2000 V6 Camaro, who I met when he first got his. It was a new car instead of a used 8 that someone had beat on, and his ins was less than my '94Z I had then. Seems like everytime someone asks how to make a 6 faster all they get told is to get an 8. It's so easy for everyone to say get a V8, well some can't (at least for now)
        I have alot of respect for you man... when I make 6 bucks an hour, and I try to go through school at the same time... its hard to just drop everything i worked hard for, like my v6, and go buy the same car cause it has a v8 in it, and more features... someone said it wasnt ment for performance but it still one of the fastest stock v6's, and I will alot of street races which i shouldnt be doing.

          I appreciate the respect, I was just trying to help. I know where you are coming from I had 2 jobs for about 6.00 an hour in high school and three when I went to college for not much more than that per hr. I had a '72 MGB all the way through high school, it was what I had and I did with it what I could. It was not the 5.0 GT all the rich kids had, it was mine, and I drove it everywhere and fixed up what I could. It is now restored and I drive it for fun when I want to not because I have to. Point is it cost 1500 dollars to purchase and I loved it the whole time.


          It is funny though I still run into people from high school who ask if I am that guy that had that little blue convertible I say yeah they say that was a cool car. I wonder how many of the 5.0's are remembered like that...

              That is where I am coming from. My first car in HS was an '81 Accord. i.e. POS Then before college I bought an '83 RX-7. I LOVED that car, quick, cornered like it was on rails, but...it had waay toomany miles and started falling apart after about 4 years of driving it. So...when I realized that I could (barely) afford to get a brand new 2000 model Camaro with a monsoon stereo system...I was freakin exstatic! I had never owned a new car before...my parents had never owned a new car before! I had never had a CD player in a car....the other two cars I had rattled like mad when I would hit a bump...and maintaining them probably cost me more than I had paid for them. So a new car, especially a new Camaro...even a 6cyl. was a blessing to me. Would I rather have a firebreathing LS1 under the hood? Absolutely! But I love my car and will probably drive it till it dies. Besides...I can still spank the Mustang equivelant and even take on some of the older (93-97) V8 stangs. V6 or V8, I am a proud F-Bod owner!

                the 3.8s are quick...still faster than most "ricers" out there...200hp isn't anything to complain about...and as far as not being built to perform...you can bump it up a lil bit easily...but if you wanted to soak money into it....you still could....

                i give you v6 timeslips(disclaimer:much money went into these though)
