Always the devil's advocate

Everything is relative. You can say the Camaro sucks for racing, as long as you follow it with "compared to". Next a 2010 Mustang, 2010 Camaro is a great competitor.

Yeah I care zero about this "whoever" host. And Adam Carolla has a face for radio.

Good idea, and some good segments, but the hosts kill it. Carolla tries to be funny too hard, Dan Neil has some knowledge of the industry but is too preoccupied with luxury brands to appreciate mainstream cars, Farah is a tool most of the time, and I'll never know WTF John Salley is there for besides the fact that he's a car guy.

Couple that with the fact that I've picked out factual errors in almost every episode...
Ummmm... you do know the G8 and new Caprice ARE the same exact car?

Opinions are like body orifaces.....everybody has one.

The Car Show guys have had some pretty lame attempts at humor. Not sure if I will spend much time watching these clowns.

Folks...quit getting your panties in a bunch over somebody's opinion...it is just that: AN OPINION. It has no weight in your world unless you give it some. Let him like what he likes, and you like what you like. That way you are both happy.

Oh no!!!! Some one bad mouthed the Camaro!!! To an unbiased car enthusiast the 5.0 is the better car for the track and street in stock form like MikeSS said. Matt Farah is a d-bag and I can't stand him but I agree with him. The Camaro is getting long in the tooth and needs some help asap. I hope the FE4 suspension gets higher praise in testing. Just because people don't like the Camaro doesn't make them mustang nut swingers. Matt Farah has a bad ass C5 that would run circles around most Camaros on this site. Come on people. It's your car, not a family member. Don't get so butt hurt.

Heck, just Internet opinions about a marginal car show (lower case letters - intentional). It is the spice of why many of us come onto Camaro5. Nothing wrong with sharing our thoughts about these guys. Commentary like this may well help them improve the quality of their show.

Yeah, I don't even know who that is-- and it seems like neither do a lot of others-- so he must not be anyone special.

I have a buddy with a GT540KR Mustang, one of 1,000 made, signed dash, all of that. It'll rip my car to shreds and I respect it, even if I think it's ugly. At the same time, he respects my Camaro and says it's a better-looking car than his Mustang, all the while telling me the Mustang will eat my lunch. It's a friendly cameraderie-competition. Why do people have to get so butthurt?
