V6 or V8? Please help with decision.

[YMCATeen]

So I'm about to get my first car.
Before all the hate, yeah I am 18 years old, about to turn 19 though in a month. I've been saving up for this car since I was about a sophomore and it's been 5 years since then so I'm ready to pull the trigger.
It's a 2011 SS Vert Camaro.
I'm a little worried whether it's worth going for the V8, I drove it and it was fun as hell, but I don't know how long that fun will last.

I just need opinions, nah a bunch of miscers who are gonna hate on me for it.
If your opinion is I'm too young, then let me know.
If your opinion is I should get a V6 instead, then let me know.

Honestly value your guys opinion a lot.
Thanks again.

Realistically get the v6, better fuel econ, probably quieter, possibly better handling
If you plan on tracking it or want to show off then V8
Get what your heart tells you to brah

Go big or go home baby

The fun stops when you run out of money OP

[TheCore84]

Lol at considering a chick mobile (convertible). Drive both, you'll never want a V6 with the fun factor a V8 delivers.

[SikhAndDestroy]

save your money and buy one of these

the V6 can sound ok with an aftermarket exhaust, but honestly anybody who knows about cars is going to laugh at you owning a v6, call it a chick car, etc. If that doesn't matter to you go for it, i'm sure the v6 is plenty powerful for most people. However personally, I'd never get a muscle car if I wasn't able to afford the v8

Trust me, I'm not gonna run out.

Convertibles are fun brah, drive a 03 mustang right now and top downs are always loved by everyone. Try it man.
I agree though, the V8 was so sick. Definitely leaning towards that side.

[mabidi]

bought a v8 over the v6 version, dat der hemi, definitely a good investment, love it

Don't know what you see in a 4 door Mercedes, I prefer a nice sports car with good interior. Other than that, I guess it's all preference.

True, I appreciate the opinion.

[Marronis]

T-tops are as far I'll go. Plus the convertible version of a car is always heavier than the hardtop version.

[LordBroski]

if you're going to get a sports car, it must be v8, and 6spd

if you get a v6 auto... das not it mane

but realistically yeah you're too young and will probably end up wrapping it around a pole doing something stupid. i was in your shoes at 18 with a trans am but decided not to and went with a different car that was cheaper to buy/maintain and not likely to get me into trouble.

mercs are so ugly and they all look the same and every douchebag has one. would never buy a merc or a bmw. much better cars you can buy that are more fun, more reliable, that don't make you look like some generic dickweed

[Kaminax]

Personally I wouldn't buy such car at my age.

I didn't think that you and I would ever agree on something.

A lot of tracks won't even let you track convertibles. Most say you gotta get a roll bar anwyays

[AngeloRobb]

Take it from my personal experience and get the SS. I had made a very rushed decision and bought a new 2011 V6 Camaro all cash because I planned on selling within a year and it was one of the biggest mistakes. Car looks sick modded with nice rims and everyone assumed it was an SS, but I regretted not getting the V8 after a few months.

Lmfao this OP. Aware yourself on AMG

[ct4surf]

Always bigger engine. Better for resale. More fun. Not that much difference on gas.

[playsintrafficc]

a v6 camaro is like a microwaved ribeye.

[GnarlySheen]

Youve been saving for 5 years and you are considering getting a camaro without a v8. Do not do that. Get the V8.


Dont be like YoungArab.

[YMCATeen]

Get the v8 imo. Vroom vroom op the fun never stops. You'll always fun in it

Was literally about to PM you so you could drop your opinion lol. Thanks man.

Lol'd hard.

This. Thanks for summing it up.

Yeah lol, It's been my dream since the 5th gen came along. Wouldn't even want a lambo or Audi r8. Srs, this car is enough for me.

[ridezilightning]

The V6 makes 312hp. More than enough to get yourself in some trouble

Resale isn't as good. MPG is not much better than the LS3. LS3 is bulletproof, large aftermarket and a bit less complicated than the High Feature v6

I can't imagine spending that much money at 19 on a car if I saved for 5 years.

Fuark, that was horrible.
I never seen such horrible decision making financially or performance-based.
