Seriously, there's enough on here that it impresses me that there are not only V6 owners, but V6 enthusiasts. Enough in fact that we're discussing having a national V6 only gathering

Re: How many V6 owners are there on this board?

Come on, this is the V6 board... That's like asking how many dead people are in a cemetery...

Almost 3100 hybrid is in the garage and will be finished if I ever get the right main bearings or a full crank kit . Rest of the car is split between the driveway and the garage.

Re: How many V6 owners are there on this board?

Forgot to add that there is a number of people who have and drive V6 cars but don't log on here very much any more and/or pop in and out occasionally. So any number you may get is likely to be a bit off.

Re: How many V6 owners are there on this board?

I love my V6, surprisingly! Didn't think it would be enough power for me, after my Iroc. But I love it! When guys pull up and try to race me I just smile and try to be cool. I would like to race another V6 though.. I think mine runs amazing!~ So if any of you find yourself in Az, lets race!

Re: How many V6 owners are there on this board?

when gas gets $4 per gallon or so, why hate the V6? Mine have got me through those tough times. The 30 mpg helps my commute. sure I have the V8 vette for the weekends, but the V6 camaro lets you commute in style!

We're already at $4 a gallon here and have been for about 2 weeks now . Took me 5 years (and I can't tell you how much money because I don't know how much the engine swap cost, but the trans swap was $1200), but I got my V6 from about 5 MPG to over 30. I really hate driving the Dodge that gets 22 MPG if I'm lucky , but the end result will be worth the hassle, I hope.

Re: How many V6 owners are there on this board?

I own a White 1987 Iroc-Z 305 TPI, and a Green Grey 1992 RS 3.1L MPFI. The RS runs, and drives but I didn't get a title for it so I can't register it for the road yet.
The Iroc-Z will be my daily driver next month as that ones ready to go. Once that's done, I'll be working on getting a title for it, but it's gonna cost me.
