As an enthusiast of the Chevy Camaro, I also have respect for the Ford Mustang and its followers. I recognize that the rivalry is largely friendly and have myself engaged in making light of Ford's pony car as a way of ribbing our adversaries across the street.

However, with that in mind, I was greatly offended by Steve Saleen's comments regarding the Chevy Camaro. It is one thing to poke fun at the competition, but it is completely unacceptable for someone in his position to flat-out lie as he did in such a public medium.

As mentioned, there were those of us who you might say were rather excited by the rumor (spread by Steven himself) that Saleen might be involved in custom 5th Gen Camaros. We'd seen his work on Bumblebee in the summer blockbuster "Transformers" and thought that he might actually have an appreciation for the beauty that is the 2010 Camaro. This is no longer the case.

Whatever his motives, Steve is obviously harboring some ill-will towards GM and the Camaro. Given the upcoming situation over the next few years, this is completely understandable. However, there is a time and a place for comments such as these, and his choice was clearly neither.
