If he makes a few bucks from advertisers, that's fine with me. He has been essentially discredited. There's no way that anyone will take him seriously with this many hostile posts.

My first car was a 69 Mach 1. Since that time I've owned 2 65 convertibles, a couple of mid 80's fox bodies, a very hot 66 fastback, another 69 with a 390 and currently a nice 2005 Mustang GT. So I'm a mustang guy. That said, the new camaro is the shit.!

you are well on your way to recovery.....




on point this guy is talking more about the economics of the car, sure does it seem a little expensive sure, is the general public going to pay a little more for a better vehicle, some will, are we going to outsell the mustang, not in the forseeable future, do we want too? i dont, id rather be in the minority. That said this guy failed in his arguements against the camaro because he was too busy hitting on 20%-30% of production. Lots of people will want the SS, but will only get the LS/LT....Lots of people want ferraris but settle for other cars.....so his arguement is moot.

Camaros have trunks? and a back seat? Why, whatever for! All you need is a driver seat and a "Baby Doll" seat!

Anything past that is.. un-needed!

You are not the only "old" guy who is ready to plunk down cash on a "mid-life crisis" ! My wife told me the Jeep Wrangler I got when I was 40 was my mid-life crisis car, I wonder what she will call this one! 46 and getting younger by the day!

see, that entails a hotter cam, the shorties, the intake, and the cat-back. mostly from the factory minus the cam, totaling approximately 34k-35k

Nope you are not the only one, I've seen it upwards of 150-200 times, mostly because i worked at wal-mart, they eventually forced me to take it out of the dvd player for the tv display, i kept it in there for like 5 months after it came out.

This guy obviously likes to just put down all cars. Look at what I found on that same website- Eric Peters is an automotive columnist and author of Automotive Atrocities: The Cars You Love to Hate (Motor Books International).

Yeah he gets paid to find the problems in every car, but nonetheless to have THREE on the Camaro in his tiny stupid library seems like a vendetta, may he had a 'Stang when he was young and got beat so bad by a 'Maro he was scarred for life.
