Default 2017 Camaro V-6...

Anyone have a newer Camaro with the V-6 here?

I need a back and forth to work ride and the 2017 Camaro's with the V-6 are dirt cheap right now so thought of getting one of those, plus the wife wants a convertible so I was thinking I could kill two birds with one stone.

What are your thoughts on the V-6?

Thanks. No issues so far? Is the V-6 enough for that heavy a car?

2012 Camaro RS with the LFX 3.6 V6. Has no problem with acceleration. My car is heavier than the 2017's.

My only problem is Honda Accord drivers and minivan drivers most always want to race.

Wow, that blue is beautiful. So I pulled the trigger on a silver 2017 convertible with the RS package and so far we love it. The wife really wanted a convertible and I needed a reliable commuter so now I have another silver/black Camaro.

And it's funny, the last time I stopped in Bradenton other than to get gas was to buy ANOTHER silver/black convertible, a 1999 Vette. So weird that I can't get away from that color combination.
