Mustang Forum Equal To This One...?

I didn't include it because I hate jeeps (actually all chrysler mopar products). I'm a regular ted turner over here.

They are listed in order of membership, so if they have a small following, Camaro5 is even smaller....

I have a 2011 California Special Convertible and I have been a member of one particular Mustang forum since 04.

Few good mustang forums out there. There is a lot of tech data on places like Wide Open Throttle Mustangs and S197forum but most of those forums are also filled with douchebags that criticize your every move. If you have extremely thick skin, then check those two out.

If anyone is still interested, you can go to www.allfordmustangs.com

Like others have said, its not GEN specific like C5 is, but it's pretty decent. For example:

2011+ Talk
2011 GT Tech
2011 V6 Tech
2005 - 2009 Talk
2005 - 2009 GT Tech
2005 - 2009 V6 Tech

Ect... Shelby's have their own section, fox bodies, and so on

2010 Guys have to get in where they fit in.

So I went to Google and typed in "Mustang Forum" and found a plethora of them. I tried one and it was "very busy", couldn't figure it out, but then again, wasn't so motivated really. Just wanted to see it first-hand.

Is there a comparable Mustang forum to this one, "Camaro 5" ? I just want to look it over, don't need debate or crack on Mustangs and state Camaros are better, we all know that here!

Depends on what you're looking for. Each forum ends up with its own personality.

I've noticed that the sections that I concentrate on over on the Mustang forums have been less busy than they used to be. Even MustangForums at about 160,000 members and where I'm closing in on 6000 mostly technical posts has been pretty quiet lately (there really are a few sections over there worth looking at, even though members of other Mustang fora tend to look down on that site generally).

I've been a member of both Mustang and Camaro forums for as long as I've been on the internet, meaning about a dozen years where Corral.net, CamaroZ28.com and thirdgen.org are concerned. IOW, longer than I could see my way clear to actually owning either car.

CamaroZ28 used to be a whole lot more active than it is now, which is part of why I ended up joining here.

Sometimes, it's good just to see things from a different perspective and try to understand how things are handled differently at different companies. You never can tell where you'll find a scrap of information that you can use on the car that you do own or that helps you understand what you're trying to do with it.

The guys on SVTperformance are brutal! lol. They have a street kill thread which is interesting (kinda wish we had one) and a gloves off thread. Lots of name calling and s**t talking. It's fun to read but you defenitly need some thick skin.

Back when I had my fox bodies, I used to be fairly active on Corral.net & really liked that site.

[hightower]

I spend time on mustangforums.com. I only spend time in the Classic Mustang section though, cause I have '67 and '68 mustangs. The rest of the forum seems iffy. So I keep to the classic section only.

Somedays I feel like this is a mustang forum.....

The Mustang Collective (www.mustangcollective.com) is a small forum, but a wealth of all kinds of great information...

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...

A buddy of mine and I started a new one up for the 5th generation. can't really find any decent ones out there. This one is pretty much straight to the point. www.5thgenmustang.createaforum.com
Lets get this one started

[MarcInUtah]

I have been frequenting forums for a dozen years. Moderate, Admin, and even own a forum of my own.

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.

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.

I keep coming back to C5 even though I don't own a camaro because the community here is so great. The other forums don't have nearly as many users depite the number of cars sold.

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.

I've poked around over there. Seems to bee a nice spot.

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.
