I hope in the next few weeks we see some better times with broken in engines ... but it isn't looking good so far . I don't expect die hard Chevy fans to support the mustang -- but I'm very surprised that a lot of people on here are not at the least -- a little angry with Chevys marketing of the ZL1.

What? Chevy rush a car? No way, never, impossible! I mean go over to the convertible section. We are all perfectly satisfied with our convertible tops!
GM's fix: After a bunch of fixes that haven't really worked GM is buying back cars left and right!

I haven't seen much dumbshit in this thread, other than someone claiming a timeslip that's not theirs. Most of the guys from the ford forums have been supportive. If these two cars run neck and neck from the factory, we will see more advances each time around--everyone wins--duh.

Oh by the way, that time slip was actually mine.

I agree with you, the ZL1 was hyped up to a degree that some are now feeling let down. Shoulda hyped it with the GS as the benchmark to beat, not the GT500.

I'm also glad I didn't order a 2012. But for me the biggest issue is that I didn't want a 2012 delivered in April or May of 2012.

Dude, right now you don't own a Camaro, and like me, the perception is that you and I are visitors here, but not a member of the Camaro 'brotherhood'.

My car is a very close cousin to the Camaro, but the perception is that it's a Pontiac, and no matter what, I most likely won't have the same credibility as a 'brother' Camaro owner. I guess I would probably feel the same way if a non G8 owner came to the G8 boards and started telling 'us' about 'our' cars.

It is what it is, and I understand it.

Yeah, this half year release is BS, just like the first convertibles. I got one of the first batch of convertibles in DFW and the 2011 coupes had already been on the road for like 7 months!
