They have always looked meaner than the Mustangs. I especially like the '02 SS Camaro, best body style yet. The new Z/28 and ZL1's are downright menacing as well. I could never switch over though considering my loyalty to Ford, but I just wanted to let you guys know I have always respected late model Camaro's. They are badass cars and I love the pushrod engines. I remember when LS1's were top dog before the 03/04 Cobra came out. I bought my 03 Cobra brand new in December of '02. It now sits in the garage next to the GT500.

Anyways, g'day.

I wiped out two rod bearings and a main bearing losing to an '03 Cobra, in my GS455 clone. I didn't have the gears or the rpms and vintage Buick oiling is well, it's vintage Buick oiling. 600 bucks for a nice aftermarket timing cover and oil pump...anyway, that Cobra was a fast car.

Some people cant keep their mouth shut and at least say something nice.

I like it a lot, the only thing I'm gonna miss on the camaro is the convertible top

I respect what you said op but if you have zero interest in switching over, what is the point in joining this forum? I never got why people do this..

Because he has an Interest in cars and has an interest in camaros even if he doesn't want to trade for one. I never understood why people can't just enjoy the company of other car guys......

Not bragging but you only hurt yourself when you you get caught up in the brand loyalty crap (whichever brand). Personally I would only drive a Ford diesel (bc of the 6.7 and overall look) but if Gm or Dodge were to come out with a badass (to me) 3/4 ton diesel Yes I would jump ship. It is just my .02 and I won't restrict myself because of a badge. If something is badass Im getting it period regardless of the badge it wears. It's almost like saying I will only date blonds and nothing else where as I will date any nationality (pending they're hot) lol.

I agree.... Just look at my Sig....

I think the ONLY TIME I got peeped was by a CHIC out of everyone driving an SS Camaro here in the Bay Area...it was Black on Black and she was like Hispanic or something.........

A BIG F U to the dorks behind the wheel and not even showing one ounce of common/interest/respect ....losers. >:}

A big RESPECT to the Mustang Owners here in the Bay Area who even make an effort to speed up next to me and rev their engine.

Same thing here for me with Camaro owners here in Naples, they look at ya like your crazy and the only respect I get is from Vette & Mustang owners....go figure.

I sold my 01 cobra with a eaton swap, 4.10's in the built IRS and I sold my '89 Fox GT with 306 forged crank, rods, and pistons, with Trickflow trackheats heads, Ported GT40 intake, Vortech SQ at 10psi thru a TKO to built 8.8 with 3.55's (Dyno it was 500 wheel) which was pushing that '86 block north of its 500hp threshold. I sold the GT first and used some of its money to put the order in for the 1LE. Then sold the cobra and used its cash to buy half the 1LE.

Before the cobra I had a new '02 SS SLP camaro while owning a '86 GT, '89 GT, and a '93 LX convertible.

Before them I had a '66 Impala SS 396 ragtop and '85 Mustang SVO. The impala had HD suspension and 10" wide wheels at all four corners, sorta early resto-mod back in 1992. The SVO was my sleep street racer when I prowled the streets of Brooklyn-Queens-long island. Stripped all the SVO garb off, added rear drums, thru on steelies at all four corners, looked like piece of crab brooklyn bomber 4 banger car. Killed quiet a few big block chevys.

I like all cars and makes, to me its just 4 wheels and engine.

I agree...I read ops opening statement yesterday ..and thought....it wont be long before someone gets this thread on the wrong track. I do agree with the post about brand loyalty...if the op is such a die hard ford guy , it makes no sense to join Camaro 5. But who knows.
