The V6 Camaro doesn't handle anything like the SS Camaro, the spring rates are entirely different. The V6 is setup with fairly soft springs but a moderate damping rate, it makes a comfortable, practical and affordable highway cruiser but rolls pretty good when pressed hard around corners. Sure it doesn't have the brute power of the V8, but the 300hp from the V6 does move the thing along with ease and it does go pretty good when you wind up the RPM. The 6-AT has nice tall gearing and keeps the RPM's nice and low when you are just cruising. The downside of the Camaro is that you have a horrible sight-line out of the windshield, it feels like you are looking out of a narrow slit thanks to the long hood and low roof. But my wife has had hers for 1 year and 12K miles and still likes it. I even put snow tires on it and it does well in all conditions right up until you run out of ground clearance.
