You have to admit that there are times that "some" of the Blue Oval Fan Boys that hang out here at Camaro5 get annoying. Camaro5 is just more tolerant of the on and on about the GT500.

I to am a "car" fan and like many different type for one thing or another but I also don't mind getting ribbed on or dishing it out to! All I can say is that when it came to choosing which car I wanted to buy, I fell in love with a picture 3.5 years ago of the concept Camaro! That did not happen with any other vehicle!

But for the record..... I do like the looks of the Chally and the GT500! I would think that Ford guys would be thankful for the Chally and Camaro coming out because it forced Ford to reduce the price for a 540hp eng. once only available in an $80K GT500KR down to a $50K car!

But they should be more tolerant of everyone's opinions of other cars. Many people on this site like all 3 of the muscle/pony cars and we can play nice with eachother

I see challengers almost everyday, excluding the one in my neighborhood. I haven't seen a Camaro on the road in 3 weeks Maybe I have to wait a few more months/years.

I spent two day's on the challenger site months ago and that was all I could take. haven't been back since.

Wow they are crazy on that form. I have never seen that much bad mouth about the camaro. Even the mustang guys give it respect. They shouldn't talk because the only comp the camaro has is the mustang and the only comp the mustang has is the camaro. Man I went and looked at other threads and one was the camaro is a girls car because I see women driving them more then men? Wow so you saw the car a couple of times and a woman was driving so she represents the whole camaro community.

They need to give it up only comp they face is themselves by paying 44 grand out the door for a SRT8 which is slower then and heavier then all the other cars its meant to perform against.

They are to into themselves, sorry but I just don't want a fully remake of a 70's car. Mustang and Camaro got it right by mixing the old with the modern.

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on switching to Camaro. We have lots of people here who own other cars and apparently don't like Camaro's, and they don't get run off.

This is exactly why I bought a Dodge Charger R/T (Chevy didn't offer a mid-ranged muscle car) and there was no way in hell I was buying a Mustang. I like my car but cannot WAIT for my Camaro. I've owned 2 in the past (totaled the first one) and I loved them.

I think they are sore losers because just about EVERY critic has placed the Challenger last when compared to the Mustang and Camaro. They have been seriously beaten down in the reviews and on the street.

...and wait until all the V6 Challengers hit the roads then it will be just a common sight as Camaros. I have seen several on my neighborhood all being RTs and V6s.

You know the said part about them is trying to diss the car by calling it a females car. Ok so females got good taste what's wrong with that and it doesn't speak to highly of them when a female has a car that will take them to the back of barn and make them her bitch. So to diss the car and be sexist at the same time just shows how crazy they are.

And I love when I see a sexy female driving this sexy car. Must be the sexy hips of this car that attracted the ladies.

Yeah the number of challengers here rivals the number of Mustangs you see. There are a LOT of them running around. So rare they are not.
