Well I’m not saying they are bad quality. I’m not really a motor head, but it seems like Japanese manufacturers consistantly get higher HP/TQ numbers out of V6’s than American cars. And they tend to get better gas for the most part.
The Camaro is supposed to be a ‘performance’ car. Why didn’t they try to squeeze as much HP as possible out of it since you would imagine HP would be a big selling point for a performance car.
