I'm torn between the V6 and the V8.

Historically, going with the V6 was an option for those that wanted the looks of a muscle car but couldn't afford the performance of a V8. It was socially unacceptable among true gearheads. With 304 horsepower, 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, a great exhaust note, and gas mileage of 18/29 mpg, the V6 all of a sudden looks like a really compelling option, especially at a starting price of $22,245. Not so unacceptable after all. Consider too that cosmetically, you can option a V-6 Camaro to look very similar to a V-8 Camaro SS; all you'd really be missing out on would be SS badges, a non-functional hood-scoop, a slightly different front fascia, and Brembo brake calipers (which do look awesome). That said, if you just love raw power, spend the extra $8,000 and you won't regret it the minute you mash the V8's accelerator.
