yes, the mods can really make the forum... The Mustang Collective that 2K05GT is talking about (and the only Mustang forum I still visit) was founded on the simply principal of no bashing... You see the Mustang Collective started out as the 4.0 Collective (4.0 being the V6 motor in the 2005+ Mustang). I am member #10, so I was there at the very beginning... basically there was a few of us that got sick and tired of hearing "you should have got a V8" every single time we asked a performance question about the 4.0 V6... gets a little tiring after the millionth time!

So the 4.0 Collective was born! Very strict rules on bashing, personal attacks, etc. The Mods did and still do a great job! As the 4.0 Collective started to grow, other Mustangs started signing up... so there was a GT section... a new edge section, a fox section... It was then decided to drop the 4.0 and just go by The Mustang Collective... all this while retaining the civilized, no bashing policy... Now I've done a number of Mustang forums.. but none like the Collective...

I've only been here a very short time... I do see some V6 bashing here, but it is no where near as bad as most of the other Mustang forums.....

I have owned both Camaros and Mustangs... I am not a fanboy... I will buy which ever model more meets my needs and tastes at the time of purchase. Had an 89 Camaro.... like it better than the Stangs at that time... Like my 2002 Mustang better than the 02 camaros..... had my 2005 Mustang... and now I like the 2010 Camaro a lot better than the 2010 Mustang...

As for me, i really tend to stay out of the "vs" debates and arguments... 99.9% of the time you are talking to a brick wall...

Life's short... enjoy your ride... and let other enjoy theirs... ok... well, except for the Ricers... LOL
