I don't think I've seen a single vehicle made fun of anymore than the 5th gen Camaro on that website.

Can someone give me some insight as to why people think we drive slow turds

Thank you

Sorry, but if you care or worry about others talking shit about what you own, then you got self steem issues!

Who gives a shit about what haters say, shut their mouth by beating them in a race. Tell them to put their money where their mouth is!

In all honesty, having owned a LS2 GTO, mod for mod the camaro is a far superior car in both drag and track racing. Just liked the GTO's interior better. Also the weight difference between the two cars is minimal.

I dunno, my turd always puts a smile on my face. :P

I wish I had my turd back. Or another 5th gen. I really miss not being able to have a Camaro, maybe one day it will happen again, then I'll just be turd happy

I hope this gets better on the turd page. Pages 1 and 2 are...eh.

Also I love my Turd and I get anxious when she's not around. I think a tiny part of her loves me back too.

Do they offer that at the laundromat or do you have to go to the dry cleaners?

I'd only bat an eye at the 5.0 2011+ Mustangs, those are some really fast cars.

4th gens? GTOs?

GTFO here, stock V6 5th gens can embarrass a large number of them regardless, 4th gen LS owners hold no ground in this.

All I see are a lot of Internet turds on that page that are all talk and no show when challenged.

I could have bought any car I wanted... I looked at a couple of CTS-V's and I loved them but they really weren't the look I was going for; although the back seat in the sedan would be nice from time to time.
I also considered some two seater cars as well. I test drove a 2011 corvette z06, 06 Viper, and an 08 Cayman S.. All of them were bad ass cars for sure but I needed a "back seat" that could fit a car seat if the situation demanded it (gotta keep the wife happy too).

I went to a Ford dealership to check out the new mustangs. I test drove one and mentioned to the sales guy that I was going to go check out the Camaros too. They had a 2011 that got traded in that day so I figured what the hell... I test drove it and then parked them next to one another. I preferred the look of the Camaro to the mustang for sure. I feel like the mustang is trying a bit too hard to emulate Porsche styling

I cruised down to the local Chevy dealership and checked out the 2016 camaros they had on the lot but I just couldn't justify the expense when I compared it to the 5th gen car. I could make this 5th gen I bought one hell of a beastly car and still have less scratch in it than I would a bone stock 6th gen.

LOL!!! I love my slow heavy turd. I especially love it when I pass way more expensive lighter turds at the track. Then they say man that turd is fast what did you do to it? Nothing, just a stock GM turd.....

What is it you call a person that starts an inflammatory thread then doesn't come back?
Oooo...what's that name? Something about under a bridge.
