Now this iconic war between Ford and Chevy has gone on for such a long time and will continue to do so. Each side has their own fan boys that will defend their brand to the death, and that's just how it's going to be. I am all to used to this, the college I attend has a car club, and just about everyone in the club is a Ford person. I'll post things on our forum about GM/Chevy related things (usually Camaro) and I get so MUCH flak from them saying things as to how ugly it is, how over weight it is, blah blah blah. Most of the main posters on our forum have already graduated but still lurk the forums. However I have never seen a larger group of complete @$$holes and if you don't believe me, then PM and I'll give you a link. The point I'm making is you can really turn someone off when there is constant subjective bashing going on.
I think we all need to take a step back and try to be as objective as possible. The ZL1 is an amazing car and the best Camaro ever produced, with some amazing technology and you cannot argue with its impressive times around the Nurembergring. However, I'd like to also commend Ford with what they have done. One member said on here that there is no company that does more with less than Ford, and I agree. The 5.0 is damn impressive, the Boss is absolutely amazing and I have no doubt in my mind that the 2013 GT500 will be jaw dropping. However, we need to keep in mind the reason why these numbers keep getting better and better is because of the competition. I know this has been said countless times on here before, but I really believe it to be the truth.
Whether you're a Chevrolet, Ford or Dodge fan you have to be pretty impressed with what is going on in the industry. I know I sure am proud of the American Auto Industry right now! :flag2:
Anyways just my $0.02, take it for what it's worth. |
OP: agreed we live in a great muscle car time and thanks to the competition..but as you also said ..the FERD guys are are the biggest A-Holes you could meet. I dont consider revving your gay 5.0 engine at me competition or playing door handle roulette on the street as competition either..
....they all act like they have something to prove and want to make sure YOU KNOW IT.
Partly why I bought a camaro is the fact that when comparing cars I asked around and all the ford guys could offer was the same non-answer.."oh its the fastest car out there".. proof???? none.
Whereas with the camaro owners had intelligent answers regarding practicality/ affordability/ power to weight ratio and over all wether they were actually pleased with the car...and if not with what part.
They seemed to be a much friendlier lot of people as well!
+1 to Camaro owners over-all...proud to be one!!!
