I really like this smackdown on people saying it will be a "drivers' race", as delivered by one of their own.

I can't see how a 12.5-12.7 car is a driver's race with a 12.9-13.1 car. but then again EVERYTHING is a drivers race, even me vs a funny car, if they blow up I WIN that was a drivers race wasn't it?

The term "driver's race" is so broad you can basically use it for anything it's like the cable guy saying he we be at your house between 8am and 10pm.

So very much agree here.

Repeat after me people: "THE MUSTANG IN '11 FORM IS FASTER THAN THE CAMARO FOR '10."

See, that isn't so hard is it?

So when the Camaro was beating a 2010 Mustang by .5 seconds it was a beatdwon and when the 2011 Mustang beats the Camaro by .4 seconds its a drivers race? C5 at least needs to be consistent.

Wow. Just read it to the end. They will even eat their young over there. Basically accused that '01 SS of not being a real camaro owner.

For what its worth, I don't think C5 speaks for the whole Camaro community. I just think that site tends to attract more a-holish types. I definitely do not want to be associated with that type of community but C5 is not the only forum out there.

Side note, I've pretty impressed by the Challenger guys. They seem to be a lot more chill about things.

Aww c'mon, I think 20s look great on the S197s. The Super Snake looks 100% awesome with those Alcoa 20s on there.

some of them certainly twist information to be highly speculative

how about the article on the Homepage regarding the "in the 13s V6 with an effectively stock car"
certainly ~$1800 worth of exhaust and induction (not including labor) to me is not effectively "stock"
http://www.camaro5.com/ scroll down to second article

in the thread they talk similarly of how nobody or very few will opt for a 3.31 geared V6 Mustang just like they think few will opt for a 3.73 geared GT

A lot of them like to do that with "cam only" cars as well. Those "cam only" cars have all the bolt ons(intake, exhaust, pullies, tune, etc.) as well.

Thanks..we do try to be.

Sadly the Camaro community has really started to take on the "D-bag" car reputation. There are asses in every camp, but generally you find alot of the Challenger owners willing to be polite.

my personal favorite (notice how he qualifies his complaint)


I love my SS, that said clearly the 5.0 is underrated and is putting out far more than the 412hp Ford states. So it will win most comparos due to being lighter and more powerful ...
@ Chevy guys

friends don't let friends drive GM

I can't remember when I read it (it was a while ago), but there was one great comment from a poster who said:
and I'm from North Carolina, where a Camaro wrapped around a telephone pole is the State Tree.

They are quick to turn on themselves as soon as you say something opposite of what the collective thinks.

if you are a camaro owner on that forum and you say "i really don't like the way my camaro..."
they will say TROLL!!! post a picture with your license and vin or you don't own a camaro and you're trolling!

LAMAMAOAALALSMALMAO!!

That reminds me of when I was in high school and outside the parking lot someone had impressively managed to drive up a support cable on a telephone pole. Nose of the car pointed almost straight up into the air. If my mind isn't playing tricks on me, I'm pretty sure it was Camaro.
