ive had some people say stupid things abt the car when they come to know ive bought one... but doesnt matter to me... i like the car... my money... im pretty stubborn when i truly like something

My friends who have Mustangs love the new Camaro...so the only crap I get is that I won't take my Camaro out in the rain.....lol

Keep the Camaro..lose your 'friends'. Get some REAL ones.

Curt@BMCPerformance · 08-11-2009, 09:40 AM

From a mustang guy....BE HAPPY. lol. Your going to have one amazing ride. And like they said its a personal choice for sure! i'd take a 2010 camaro over a 2010 mustang. But i'd take my 05 mustang over both, the reasons vary but it all boils down to prefernece. This world would STINK if we all drove the exact same thing. I'm all for it and thrilled in general about all the american muscle out there now!

I had a kid in a pretty nice Mustang pull up next to me at a stoplight a week or so ago, motion for me to roll the window down, and then tell me he loved my car. Personally, I wouldn't trade my Camaro for a new Mustang, but it is just a preference thing.

I think all the American muscle is cool, and I always give a wave, nod, thumbs up, etc to nice Mustangs, Challengers, and of course other Camaros.

This morning I was shaking out the doormat, and three Mustang GT's, a Mustang basic, and two lint balls fell out!!!

(jsuttrying to be funny and say that there are a LOT of mustangs running around)

My neighbor across the street is a die hard Mustang fan and has one in his garage - a definite Ford enthusiast. He walked over last night with a buddy and had nothing but awesome comments about my car. He actually said he thought it might be the best looking car on the road right now. I almost fell over.

I think real car "lovers" regardless of brand preference really see the awesomness of this car. It is undeniable GM hit this one clear out of the park and real car ppl know it.

Don't let the haters tear you down. They are NOT all like that.

I just told my buddy wait till i get the car and you'll see.....lol....i think i should show him the hunting for mustangs pic that someone made....lol

i don't get that but everyone keeps saying "a camaro? why do you need a camaro?" i don't NEED one, i want one jack ass. yes i have a great car right now, but i'm single, no kids, and have the means to be able to afford the car i've wanted since i was 9 so why not get one? it's so annoying. are they just jealous that they can't get one too?

edit: this edit has nothing to do with my post, but my signature. i've never had one before so i don't know why that's there. that's my craigslist ad LOL!

I know that if I got a V6 or worse, an automatic, then people wouldn't be so awed by the car as they are when they see its an SS and stick.. I know though I would be happy with an automatic V6 as that is what I drove for over 14 years before.. I did get a lot of crap for doing that back in high school.. But I didn't care back then and I still wouldn't today..

i don't understand why the manual makes it cooler? i read this all the time and absolutely don't get it. 9 times out 10 i beat a stick shift vehicle, in my automatic.

well i am getting a camaro soon but it wasnt about getting a mustang over it.so i want to the test and tune at the drag strip there was four camaro ss/rs there andi live in denver so high elevation and they were running 15s 16s and even 17s i dont know if the drivers did not now how to drive or couldnt hook them up at that take up but my friends was like you want to get one of those slow cars so a lil different situation but people i think just wish they can have on or bought the wrong car and want the camaro so they talk about it

There is only two kinds of car owners . " Those that drive Camaros and those who wish they did ! "

swansor · 08-11-2009, 10:19 AM

Heres what I have heard....
Mid life crisis? (im 50 and I hope Im at mid life...50 to go and balls to the wall all the way)

Too bad you got a v6 (Im getting a V8 but whatever either way)

Poured your life savings into it. (ehhh no but Noneya Business anyway)

GT500 is faster. ( for 20k more ... Ohh and what do you drive....Yeah I thought so)
Jeolousy gets them no where...

bbossman · 08-11-2009, 10:24 AM

Get what car you want not what your friends like. I drive a Mustang GT right now and am about 8 weeks from my SS being delivered to me. I am really excited about it. They will be parked right next to each other in the garage!

GTengineer · 08-11-2009, 10:27 AM

Who cares what your friends think of your car? If I drove what my friends liked I would be driving a Civic.
