When you get up close you can tell the bowtie delete is there. It's a temporary fix until I purchase a Heritage Grille painted IOM.

Right now adding the RS headlights are about $1000. So I'm probably not going to do that anytime soon. I kind of like the look without them, keeps it more classic IMO

They really didn't water down this V6. Also as long as you have a manual, you have a POSI rear, so the power is definitely there!

As Mike just posted, the Camaros have different headlight options. Depending on the trim package you got.

Even up close it looks like you'd have to know the delete is there to notice it. If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't really notice. Not like our license plate deletes. Which are blatantly obvious.


When I rode in my cousin's V6 Camaro, I was impressed with the power coming from the engine. Definitely not watered down. GM did a good job with that engine.

The power isn't there with the automatic - that's for sure. I test drove a 45th anniversary LT2 and it felt so slow I couldn't go that route - that's why I bought the Stang - it just "felt" quicker.

Probably because you miss out on crucial shift points with the auto.

That and being able to control the shifts yourself makes you more "one" with the car and thus makes it seem more powerful and torque-y (even if it's not). At least in my experience lol.
