Well said. I am on both forums as well, and every time I mention anything remotely favorable towards the Camaro a certain person tries to bait me in to an immature discussion by calling me a troll.

In the end of the day, these sorts of people are beneath those of us that want to enjoy talking cars. I just ignore them, and they go away.

We need to rise above the BS, and improve our forums ourselves. We are as much ambassadors in this sense as the moderators.

Very well said!!! You'll get those guys on every forum. Doesn't matter what brand, what model or what year.

As for the mustang guys "loosing" it. I've actually haven't had ANY negative experience with or from ANY mustangs I've seen on the road. Hell, I've gotten more hatred looks (including someone flipping me off after staring at me and the car) from gen5s. Mustang guys are smiling and giving me thumbs up, where as gen5 people seems like are always wanting to key my car. Out of the 15+ gen5's I've seen, only 2 of em actually smiled and gave me a thumbs up and not the rest... Not a single mustang driver has been a "douche bag".

I respect the Ford Mustang, but I could not see myself ever buying one. My problem is that I am very brand loyal to Camaro's, and I view the Ford Mustang for what it is...a rival of the Camaro dating back to 1967.

I check out the mustang forum on occasion and the vs section in particular has some true fan boys who think the mustang is the be all/ end all of cars. It's actually kind of ridiculous. That being said I've come across some people like that on this forum as well. My friend has a 6th gen mustang GT and it's a fantastic car. The coyote engine pulls hard in the high rpm range but doesn't have the low end torque of the LT1. Both the Mustang and Camaro are excellent cars. Sure they both aren't perfect but no car is. You can't go wrong with either choice. I just wish the immature fanboys would grow up and stop bashing their competitors. The funny thing is the mustang fan boys don't seem to realize they need the Camaro. Both Ford and Chevy need the competition to keep improving their cars. Perfect example was the mid 2000's when there was only a Mustang and no Camaro. Ford had no direct competition and the mustang didn't really improve. It wasn't until the 5th gen Camaro came out that ford decided to increase the mustang HP from around 325 to 400.

Yea, um...I have no loyalty other than to myself, but jeezus. The guys on the Mustang Forums. Wow. That's all I can say. I'm on this forum. Vette Forum. McLaren Forums and 2 Superbike forums. No forum can match the bs that is slung over there. haha. I swear, if you posted a Z06 vs thread, they'd find a way to say the GTPP is a better car.

It's a vile place, they'll say the Z06 looks like crap much like the 6th gen Camaro with its toliet lid hood, bath tub visibility, and boring rear end. It's surprising how much they need to trash another vehicle to make themselves feel better about their own vehicle.

Personally I think newest Mustang is a good looking car, but apparently I drive a turd of a vehicle with a cheap plastic interior that looks like a Toyota.

Pretty crazy. Reminds me of a similar comment I read about somewhere????regarding the new stang: "the fast back rear end looks droopy like a loaded diaper."

Well, all the negativity from any fan boy is just dumb

I can't tell you how many times my brother and I have mistaken a Fusion for a Mustang at a distance...the droopy diaper comment as well, is funny...

I find it interesting that people in both camps need to sling mud to feel better about themselves. To be honest...either of these cars COULD look like the Aztec, or Fox body...Thank goodness they don't!

I agree, it's childish to hate on something that isn't yours. That's fine if you think a certain vehicle is ugly and not for you. It gets old when a fanboy constantly spouts negative crap about a vehicle's appearance over and over again. It makes you wonder, do they go to a car show and do the same thing? Definitely not, so why do it behind a keyboard and monitor? It's just a giant circlejerk of hate.

I've seen a fusion in my rear view mirror on a couple of occasions. I thought it was a Mustang both times until it got closer. There's nothing wrong with the similarities between a Fusion and Mustang. It's made by the same manufacture so there's going to be similarities. Similar to how our gauge cluster is nearly identical to that of a Denali trim with GMC vehicles.

I will never understand the point of slinging mud, (I get friendly competition and such) I just hope they realize that all the mud slinging makes their community look toxic and unwelcoming. There's nothing wrong with friendly jabs at each other, but most of the jabs there are not of the friendly variety; more of the circlejerky type.

↑↑↑ . . . Exactly why I stay out of most all discussions involving appearance - there, here, and elsewhere. It's easier to avoid those threads in the first place, or just let it go if/when the discussion turns that way and there is no open technical content remaining.

'the pill' said the track is bad, can't cool that thing down, tiny brakes, not enough tire, and totally missed the golden ratio.

'the pill' only states facts of things that will be...
