There are too many nice cars out there to be real particular about brand.

You got that right and in the not to distant future all we will get are V6's and thats gonna suck for us V8 guys

A muscle car to me means a V8 motor others may feel differently but thats how I see it because thats what I saw growing up around Muscle Cars.

Doesn't matter what they made the mustang motor with, the ls1 was better. Just like right now, the gtr is a better performance machine.

What he did was come on here spouting false stuff.

Does the 5.0 make more horse/ci? Yes, is that what he said? No!

When having a spirited debate, you don't lie. Get it?

I totally disagree with driving the same brand is boring. I've been driving mostly Chevys for the last 46 years and never been bored with the brand. I have had one Ford and only kept it two weeks.....

To each their own, but I like every make, model, genre, brand, etc. of cars and want to experience all ends of the spectrum. Sticking to one brand for 50 years isn't going to let me do that. I'm extremely content with my '12 SS right now and don't plan on being in the market again for a while, but I still have a long list of (reasonable) cars I'd like to get my hands on at some point. Maybe I'd buy another Camaro, maybe not. It would honestly depend on the circumstance and what's best for me at the time. I'm one of those people that, when buying a new car, compares every last bolt, makes spreadsheets, gathers a million reviews, etc....the whole deal, so I would compare all my options side by side and decide what fit is best for me. If it's another Camaro at that time, then so be it, but no doubt the thought sits in the back of my mind that I have already owned one at some point, and whether the one I'm looking at is different enough to pull the trigger.

I can't really comment on the probability of owning an 85 Camaro when they were new because I wasn't even born yet, but I can say that if I had owned, say a 2002 SS, I probably wouldn't own a Camaro right now. I like to experience new things and change it up a bit, like I said.

Same goes for any car. My DD is a WRX, and more than likely I'm not going to buy another WRX when I move on. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the best cars I've ever driven through and through and a complete blast to own, but if I just buy straight WRXs for the next 30 years, then I'd never know what it's like to own an EVO, Focus ST, Focus RS, etc. Just my personal preference, I guess.

I auctually looked at a challenger first.....I still don't buy the fact mustang owners are members because they are car guys. There isn't any benefit being on a forum that doesn't discuss your car in performance ..or diy projects or really anything else. Its healthy competition between brands which I like. I wonder if any camao 5 members that own Camaros ,not mustangs are on mustang forums. I mean guys that only have Camaros. A friend of mine has a 2011 5.0....I like that car...but hes not a member here. I told him about guys on here that own mustangs ...he just wondered why. I still would own 1 of each if I could.

Well said, and to add to that, most cars nowadays are doing it while getting 30+ MPG!! lol

Ive driven that mustang many times...with the nannies off and the 373 that cars a handful in a good way. The conversation isn't that bad really. He really likes my car...and is very good with cars...I bought a hurst shifter for my automatic....the thing was a nightmare ..the inside was assembled backwards and wouldn't fit...he came over and disassembled the thing...switched it around. Now its perfect...I was going to send it back. Mustang guys are good for something. He wasnt happy with the outcome of the pic below. hahaha
