Why do Mustang owners have so much hate towards Camaro owners?

I have checked out some of the Mustang forums and have also read many of the posts on this forum from Mustang owners. Maybe it's just my opinion but there seems to be a lot of hate and hostility of Mustang owners towards Camaro owners. It just seems much more prevalent from Ford Mustang owners hating Camaro owners -vs- Camaro owners hating Mustang owners.

Personally I have no ill will towards Mustang or Challenger owners, why would I or anyone else feel that way? I think they are all three great looking cars and which one you buy is based on which car you like best.

One Mustang forum I checked out showed a picture of a Camaro in the rear view mirror with the comment "Camaro behind and following a Mustang, right where is should be". Which car you like the look of better is really a personal opinion, but how can the guys on the Mustang forum question the documented performance advantage the Camaro SS has over the Mustang GT?

Why the hostility?

Every group has their fanboys. You can find them on any forum, even this one. Personally, I like many brands and models. I don't get the Hatfield vs. McCoy stuff. Although, I am in Kentucky.

GTAHVIT - Does "Fanboy" count as name calling?

Neighbor behind me has a Mustang, and he drools over my Camaro, and his stang is Bad A$$... no hate going on here...Personally, I'm glad we have choices... boring to all be the same... We are trying to find someone with a Chally for a photo shoot of the big three modern muscles... Calling all Chally owners in Central Texas... become Famous, be noticed... pm me for photo op...

It's been that way since 1967.

It's the same as Michigan "hating" Ohio State, or The Red Socks "hating" the Yankees, etc. It's just the way it is .........

OP get on a motorcycle forum and it's worse....Suzuki vs. Kaw...Jap vs. Harley....Honda sucks all out, etc.

It's just the internet.

Mature people may joke and rib about brand choice, but in the end you analyze people on a case by case basis.

If someone truly hates me because of what brand I own, then I have no time for them.

Those type of people have been really few and far between in my 38 years of life.
