Well I've had no problems with this car. It's a dream.
The v6 can keep up with the z28.
Mustangs and imports are NO problem!
The 5-speed is very fast.
HERE HERE!!
I own a 96 V6 Y87 M5 and yes they can keep up with the V8 because the 8 is only a second faster :) GM has some great engines.
I own a 1996 Camaro RS with the 3800 series II engine and a Mustang GT could not keep up with me.
