Ron...agreed. I can afford a better Camaro, it just doesnt exist. I wish it did.

Why that is getting everyone all puckered up is beyond me but it's funny to watch.

then state it with out the disputes you are causing? The guy was trying to explain the car has potential. Some may not be able to bring it out while others can. And BTW there is something called Multi-quote posts to avoid posting 6 times with the same response. (very useful)

I am not causing any dispute....he took a shot at me first...so I responded in kind. That's life.

You didn't even read my post.....Jeep said the same thing about the Rubicon. They didn't think the market would pay for those upgrades, that there weren't enough people out there that would pay the upcharge. They were wrong.....and so are you.

I can't believe...that I am defending wanting more power and better performance. Can any of you produce your man card or was it revoked?

I read and fully understood your foolish rant. I'm just smart enough to know that a company can't out price the market because a select few are willing to pay a premium above what the market can bear.

I won't get drawn into your juvinile argument - but remember, the world doesn't revolve around what you want.

That's what Jeep said too...until they built it...and lots of people bought it.

That's my whole point and has been all along.

I feel like I am in the Twighlight zone.

Trust me, I feel like you are in the twilight zone too.

Jeep overpriced themselves and lost HUGE amounts of potential market share on that little episode as well as many others. They may have sold a few upgraded models, but lost much more in market share.

Dude...will you relax....you are taking this thread Waaaay too seriously.

You obviously know nothing about Jeep Wranglers and the market share that they own....it's one of the best selling vehicles they have.

So relax already.

While I am not a fan of weak trailing arms, two piece drive shafts, etc, I am a fan of "building it better", the aftermarket, and "making it your own". Thanks for giving us a great foundation to build upon. Whether it's for the guys that like the go-fast goodies, the guys that like the bling, or somewhere in between.

I would say this in an open letter to Chevrolet....one of my other hobbies are Jeeps. Jeep for years built shallow versions of what real Jeep enthusiasts wanted in order to satisfy the bean counters. They would never build a Jeep Wrangler that was actually a very capable off-roader, at least not REAL off roading.

For years Jeep enthusiasts asked for stronger axles, they asked for locked differentials, they asked for capable suspensions etc. Jeep never built it and the aftermarket prospered. Jeep FINALLY capitulated and built the Rubicon. They built it almost begrudgingly and expected it to be an utter failure due to the costs involved. This model featured Dana 44 axles front and back, electronic lockable axles, electronic swaybar disconnect....in other words...a very capable Jeep.

It cost more sure...but Jeep enthusiasts FLOCKED to this model Jeep and purchased as many as Jeep could make. The extra price tag made this model very profitable for Jeep and they continue to build them today.

I want a Camaro with a stout clutch, performance suspension, a rock solid set of axles and 500 damn horsepower at the rear wheel. I'd like to buy it and race it....not modify it just to make it capable of running with the big dogs. Don't get me wrong, the base SS is a nice car but I'd gladly pay more for a better axle, a stronger clutch and a strong motor.

Learn from Chrysler/Jeep....one of the most inept companies ever....listening to their enthusiast base was a very profitable move for them.
