the camaro was created in hatred of the mustang
I wouldnt say hatred....

but the mustang was created because of the Monza....


as far as attacking them.... thats all ive seen. look at the 24" wheel thread. 90% of the replies in there are "dude, are you f#$(ing stupid? why would you ruin the car running that size wheel on it?"

its his car. if you dont like what he's doing to it fine. but instead of calling him f'n stupid, just say, "hey, not my taste" and move on.


Im glad that we dont fall into the traditional "bash every single other car that isnt mine" type of forum. we actually look into our competition to get a better edge up on them. Know thine enemy.

if you are getting butt hurt because we arent bashing every member on here that doesnt drive a camaro, then leave. Im tired of people like you coming onto here bitching about every little thing that crawls up your ass. Tell ya what, go make your own 5th gen camaro site and run it how you want it to be run.

we try to keep the all out bashing to a minimum. granted there will always be some good natured ribbing. but thats the key point its good natured. dont get me wrong, I love the camaro. im not a big fan of the mustang, but they've been able to sell nonstop since '64. and I will give them respect where it is due. but just like there are idiots out there driving mustangs, there will be idiots out their driving camaros. im waiting to see how long it takes before the first wreck is posted up on here in fact.

but seriously, if you dont like it here. no one is forcing you to stay. get over yourself or gtfo.

Frankly this forum was designed to talk about a single car, not GM in general. Although obviously, because GM makes the Camaro, it is only natural that many members are die-hard GM fans, that does not make this a "GM forum". Any car can be discussed here and there are many members who are far more interested in American muscle cars or sports cars in general than in strictly GM vehicles.

That being said, there is no place for disrespect or discrimination on this board from ANY side. If someone was disrespectful towards you then that was wrong. You posting this thread and attacking anyone who owns a competitor's vehicle is also wrong. Personally I drive a Mustang. I love the car and have enjoyed every second I've spent in it. I also love the Camaro and will be purchasing one as soon as I can. It is quite easy to like both cars; affection isn't mutually exclusive.

Your premise that "it's only natural to bash on competitors" is seriously flawed as well. It might be natural for you, but that doesn't mean that it follows this forum or society-at-large's idea of decorum. You can discuss the various aspects of competing vehicles and make your opinion known, without doing so in a disrespectful manner. THAT is only natural. Bashing is unnatural and downright rude.

In short, I'm sorry you've had a negative experience on this forum but if you were being treated in a disrespectful manner then I have no doubt the mods dealt with it in a timely manner. However, regardless of how it was handled, that does not give you license to post a disrespectful thread of your own.
So...are you saying that on any forum...created for a product with competitors...there will not be ANYONE that would start threads that would try to rag on the competition...I wish capitalism was so nice...but it helps fuel love for the anything. I myself have never bought any car from a company based out of the US. It killed the economy (we were importing more than exporting).

In fact...for the video i posted...i was given a warning.

And again...defending the competition...my point is further proven by your reply...I'm not trying to cause a tangle, but just pointing out in your post that when you were trying offer your opinion you also were doing the exact thing i had posted. Whatever...I'm just waiting for the superbowl...go steelers

you see this thread?
No hatred just freindly competition.We pride this forum on being the freindliest best structured forum full of car enthusiasts.
You can't go into a forum demanding respect when you don't give any in the first place.

Mustangs are like the Camaros "developmentally challenged" little brother. You know it's not the sharpest knife in the drawer but you give it love because its part of your pony car family. Now let some of that anger go and come get a man-hug.

IDK, it's in the off-topic area, and other than the original poster, everyone has represented pretty well.

Wow, this thread is F'in retarded. Angry because we're all respectful human beings who appreciate good competition?

The only reason the Camaro is as good as it is, is because it has someone to compete with. With no competition what's the motivation to continue to produce a good product?

Face it, you need the Mustang.

Wow, just wow. i hope nobody gets me mixed up with this guy...

Its nice to see that everyone else who has responded agrees that we all respect our competition, because w/o competition - whats the point?

I grew up in a 68 mustang and personally i really like the classics and the 05's+ but the camaro is such a better deal i'm going with it challenger, camaro, or mustang are all american muscle and great cars. i'm curious how you would act at a car show freaking out because theres cars OTHER than the camaro?

Best of luck to ya in the world man, not sure how you get by.

Nah more like selective all-american...just because its american...doesnt mean i need to like it...i dont like the mustang...never did...never will...also dont like the general crowd it attracts. I like to choose companies to buy from if they help improve general image of US made products. GM is not only depending on US sales. I myself am 20...and i grew tired of people my own age comin up to me just because i drove a T/A they had to come up to me and talk shit on how heavy my car was...or how underpowered the car was when they sold it.

Look...if GM doesn't sell as many camaros as they can...it will be put on hiatus again...thats the way it is. In fact the camaro has kinda already been put on a possible future hiatus...seeing how the Zeta is done. Then which plat will they choose for 6th gen? I'm not saying that 2010 is the only year we'll see a camaro made..but what about 2012 or years later. And to offer sympathy and saying that buying a mustang or any other car other than the camaro if your lookin in that price range...it looks like you dont care if the camaro makes it or not.

Whatever...the name of the site is camaro5...not camaroand5othercars...its a place to discuss why the camaro is a better choice...not discuss or defend other cars that might be a better buy, especially when the camaro is being relaunched in these opening years that determine the longevity of the car and possibly GM being able to stabilize itself.

So everyone...keep defending your beloved imports and opposite domestics that helped put GM on capitol hill's doorstep.

Now i can only imagine how many replies i'll get saying that....im ignorant, or I am just lookin for a fight...the fact is i just love my Trans Am and therefore i love GM and hate anything else...and my loyalty will never be broken.

You watch any reviews from overseas on cars made from chrysler or ford...and you'll see that those companies help fuel this global image of american manufacturing of mediocre

you do me a favor and find where another car has been posted/compared/whatever on here that anyone has agreed that it is a better bang for the buck than the camaro. (and it cant be the v-6 camaro vs the SS)

Wow, what a thread! I mean I'm so impressed with the attitude of all you Camaeo5 guys. You're even being somewhat congenial to chewy4ce, and why not, he just thinks differently than we do...doesn't necessarily make him a bad person. But make no mistake, we Camaro5 guys will only take so much bashing and then it gets nasty.
Dude, all I can say to you is we are a higher mentality site, that most other site members, like yourself, can't understand and don't belong in.



EDIT: OOPS, sorry, didn't mean "don't belong in." I meant "must try to understand"....how did that come out? ahem
