I can think of 10 other camaro or ls engine based forums.
there are probably twice that for mustangs. there are some big ones.
this forum isn't actually as big as some may think. there are some very very big forums out there....

we certainly are NOT in the Big Forum category.
But our activity compared to our market (5th gen Camaro) makes us attractive.
I can only guess as to why we are as attractive as we are.
your guess is as good as mine.

If anyone knows of a forum like C5 for other cars I would really like to know.

Thanks very much. We try to maintain the social aspect of the site and still preserve the information that forums like this thrive on.
We do overmoderate the site but it seems to be working.

First and foremost... No bashing! Ask a question you get intelligent answers... Also, someone mentioned ads... there are NO ADS!
I haven't owned a Mustang in 5 years but I still am an active member there... |
I've poked around over there. Seems to bee a nice spot.

My Top 3:
Corral.net is a great site. I mod on this one. But, its not as good as it used to be. It sold to Auto Forums (rumored for 6-figures). and traffic has dropped dramatically (at least in the Lounge section).
SVTP is where I hang my hat a lot. Good tech stuff there. They can be ruthless at times but very knowledgeable. Both Corral and SVTP have 150K+ members and I believe are 2 of the largest mustang sites on the web (stangnet/yellowbullet/mustangforums might be up there too).
UnitedStangs.com I actually own this site, although, like a lot of other sites, has drastically slowed down.
Being the owner of 4 forums (down to two now), I can tell you that FaceBook is really killing the forum world. Members and Advertisers now go to FaceBook to do their posting/advertising.
I am literally a member of over 100+ forums, but only visit a handful of them every day. I joined here because I wanted to learn about the ZL1. A buddy of mine has one. Plus, in the past, I have owned camaros, firebirds, TAs, and vettes. Just so happen, the past 10+ years, my flavor of the month has been mustangs.

Yep, I think the bigger sites have trouble drawing in vendors becasue they have so many years/models they support. The nice thing about Camaro5 is we are just one generation and it makes it easy for our vendors to reach their target customers.
It will be interesting to see what happens as future camaro generations come along.
