COME OOOOONNN!!!!!!! It's pretty obvious where this site stands on muscle car vs import and Chevy vs _______ .

Yes, imports are what they are. Hell say whatever you want about them. I don't care. But anyone that has the cajones to come to this site (CAMARO5!!!) and spout off about how cool your import or Ford or Dodge is - shouldn't be caught off guard when you get some blow back. If you want to post that stuff here go right ahead. Those of you that do it know what you're doing and do it deliberately. Enough with acting surprised by the resonse you get. It could be a lot worse. The fact that is isn't says a lot about the people here.

Firstly, I never posted here, "spouting off about how cool my import is"....
so you're probably refering to someone else.
Even though my car IS incredibly cool....even for an import!

I registered here to get some info and facts about the new Camaro, being I am considering getting one, should the price and reliability be right for me, in the not too distant future.

Secondly, I've been a member on LS1-Tech.com for a long time, and always recieved nothing but respect from the guys over there....and everyone knows LS1-Tech is WWAAAYYY more hardcore than any other GM-based community, including this one.
lol

I don't mind debate...it's healthy.
I just prefer to debate with people who are informed enthusiasts...not just waving an american flag and repeating things they've heard on Muscle-Car TV.

Hey, I watch Spike's redneck TV (aka The Powerblock -Horsepower, Muscle Car, Extreme 4x4 and Trucks) every weekend. I think they had a civic once on one of the shows (Horsepower) . . . they added 10 hp (up 15% over baseline) for about $1000 if I remember correctly. It was a few years ago though

^^^ ROFL

10hp for $1000!!!

That's gotta sting a little.

*Mindz* · 01-13-2008, 10:47 PM

Can't you add 5x that power for about 50 bucks? What's a Powered by Honda sticker going for these days?

I honestly feel this thread has reached it usefulness.

The point has been made; respect regardless of what one drives.

If anyone feels "slighted", or "feels like it's hard to hang out with this crowd sometimes", or, feels their car doesn't get quite the respect he/she feels it should, please remember;

A. If you feel "slighted", communicate respectfully and discuss why you feel that way. It'll probably be resolved pretty quickly w/o any hurt feelings.

B. If you feel its hard to hang out with this crowd at times, contact a Mod./Admin., post more often, and explain why you feel that way.

C. If you feel your car doesn't receive the respect it deserves, remember, almost all of the members here do respect you and your vehicle, whatever you drive. Also remember, this site is primarily "Camaro oriented". That being said, from what I've read/seen, 99.9% of our members accept and respect anyone regardless of what he/she drives.

EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES HERE, AND TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

Can we all please just enjoy this forum. All of the different opinions, thoughts, loyalties, vehicles, etc. are what make being a part of the automotive community so enjoyable.

Thank You
