Strong words from a forum sponsor trying to get sales from us...haters. lol
This reminds of a Michael Jordan story.... Michael was asked back in the late 80's why he didn't get into politics and support the Democratic party.....he just smiled and said "even Republicans by shoes".

I've owned numerous GM products of my last two one was a 2007 C6 Z51 and the other a 2012 Camaro SS AE. My current toy is a 2014 Mustang GT Track Pack that I may or may not replace with one of the newer offerings from Ford or Chevy.
Although obvious changes have been made to the Gen6 I for one am just tired of hearing all the Mustang this Mustang that bullshit. Hearing some of the rags say .5 seconds quicker 0-60 or almost a full second faster in the 1/4 gets old quick. Auto vs auto the Ford A6 just isn't on par with GM's A8 and the performance data shows that. When you compare the manual cars the only significant difference is the 2mph trap speed. |

I was born a GM guy into a GM family but I've always appreciated and admired cars from any company if I thought it was cool, had good performance or a style that was to my fancy. I'm a diehard fan of GM but I'm not a blind fanboy who berates a competitive brand just because for the sake of it or looks down on newer models that may be better than my own.
I'm definitely gonna look into a new 6 Gen Camaro for sure.

Or are you using the age old technique of comparing private owner times of a car that has been out to mag times? These were tested together... Nothing to argue about here. Throw in a base GT and gain a tenth. Still getting spanked. |

something to think about:
The Camaro Disciples - all 15 of them...gave us boxes to check with the new Camaro. YOU gave them the boxes -and they passed them on to us. We checked every one of them except for the 1,000 horsepower box....... from memory seating and a cool lightshow to manually adjustable exhaust systems (dual mode) using electronics to adjust the exhaust note......from cooled seats to a much improved interior....from weight savings to additional accessories and performance parts.............the list goes on and on............ Drive the new car - look it over -- and I think you'll agree. We checked all the boxes.

And I don't know that I would have picked the V8 even if I had the option.
I just have to keep reminding myself that I don't need the V8. I can't drive like that guy who was thrashing that black SS around the race track. I'd love to learn how but, I'm not going to destroy my car doing it. The sound of the LT1 is so intoxicating I keep wondering if I should have. I know that I'm going to love the V6 and that ultimately I made the right decision for my daily driver..... Its just that little nagging doubt that sticks in the back of the mind.

I agree with this as well. Maybe "hating" is just the fun word to use. It even goes as far as owners of the same car fighting manual vs automatic.

I LOVE this Gen6!!!
I am not hating, just have a special attachment to my 5th gen. I think many do. That said, from what has come out so far, the Gen6 is really a better car in about every way. No debate. Maybe on looks, but not any other way. Cannot wait to see some videos of this car on a track and new owners taking delivery!!!! Maybe my next car, but "Christine" is never going anywhere, that lady is a keeper. Now maybe she gets a forged setup.....etc
