It DOES look different, and for the extra money, you're getting a 400/426 HP engine.

What does that have to do with what I said? That is completely irrelevant except that you also mentioned Mustangs.

Oh and there is a big difference between the LT/LS/SS. The SS has over 100 more HP then the LT and LS. That's why you paid more. If all you care about is cosmetics then why did you pay the extra money?

Why am I bothering, this is the internet.
I understand you because you bought the Camaro. This is not a borg society where everyone is the same. It's okay to be different. I accept that and so you do you. That's my point.

Some people spend their money on expensive stereo equipment. Does that make them better than me because I don't? No. That's a silly conclusion, and it's silly that some of you still think that I think I'm better than you because I want my car to be different.

The fact that some of you bought the RS package means you believe the same thing as me, otherwise you wouldn't have bought it. Why buy the RS package if there's nothing different? Stop judging me and try to understand the point I'm making.

With this, you are implying that there is nothing different between the LS/LT and the SS, and you are completely wrong in that implication.

Seriously, its the kind person that takes the car out and kills somebody by driving like a douchenozzle. I live in Oakville, I see this crap all the time. More douche here than the vag isle in the drugstore. <<< In Oakville not C5 lol.

Sigh. One more time:

1) whether you work hard or not is irrelevant. I know you work hard. I know you deserve whatever you bought. I am talking about me - not you. If I pay more and get myself more into debt for a 2SS/RS it better be because I'm getting more than an LS. Get it? Wanting a 2SS/RS to look different than a 2LT/RS is my opinion.

2)

oh my gosh you're picky. You just described "hot" in a paragraph. I just used one word. Call it whatever you want, I don't care. The point is: it gets you excited.

3)

and yet I've read many times before that people don't like the fact that there's so many Mustangs on the road. "Camaro is outselling the Mustang" is one such thread. Please go and chastise the guy who started that thread as well.

4)

I have not insulted anyone personally, and yet I've been called "idiot" "maroon" (sic) and now "immature". I can have a civil discussion where a whole bunch of people are attacking me on a personal level without resorting to personally attacking anyone else. So who is mature?
Oh sweet Jesus, where do I begin? Numbers would help keep things orderly here, wouldn't it?
1:
You're paying more, but that doesn't mean you deserve it to look significantly different. What you fail to comprehend here is the heritage this car has. You wanna know the difference between an SS and a V6 back in '69? A raised hood and emblems. You're pretty lucky you get the revised fascia. Not too much to be going on here.
And before you even start again, I understand that you wanted it to be more different. Don't like the fact that car is nearly identical to a V6, sans the fascia and a spoiler (assuming said V6 doesn't have the RS package)? Shouldn't have bought it. But you did, and you worked hard or it, so enjoy it for what it is instead of trying to make it something it's not.

2:
No, what I described in that paragraph was anything but hot. Hot is implying you like the car simply because of its popularity factor. That is hot my friend, not what I described. Hot and excited are two entirely different things.

3:
Yeah, and I'm sure so many people don't like the attention that the Camaro is getting over their car. It's called a bias. Sure, some people don't like the amount of Mustangs on the road, and eventually people are going to disdain the amount of Camaros on the road. It's what happens when a car manages to sell several hundred thousand units.
Besides, this is the internet. People are going to be irrationally biased. Get over it.

4:
You can have a civil discussion, in lack of a better term. You have this condescending, spoiled tone to your writing that can come off the wrong way very quickly. So people are calling you out on how you want more out of your car. What do you do? Instead of PM'ing a mod to lock the thread, you make a secondary discussion thread to talk about how you didn't want to come off as a pompous fool, and when backed against the corner, you start crying about it more.
It's. The. INTERNET. You can leave any time you want.

You said it's vain for me to think that when a car is common it's not hot any more. Therefore I said: go chastise the guy who started the "Camaro is outselling the Mustang" because he's afraid of the same thing.

As for looks, the LT/RS doesn't look much different from the SS/RS. Only the mail slot and the lower grill is different.

You bought the 1LT because it's different from the LS. You bought the 2LT because it's different from the 1LT. You bought the 2LT/RS because it's different from the 2LT. What are you saying that everyone except the guy who bought the LS is shallow? Up until this point, the differences are mostly cosmetic!! So all of a sudden I'm evil because I want my car to look a little different than a lower model? Seriously?

What are you talking about?
You were making the discussion that you bought the RS package because it made your car more "different" (I'm using special from this point on; it holds the same connotation), which obviously implies that you do, in fact, believe that your car is better than non-RS car. You were making the argument that the 2SS/RS you worked so hard for was so much better than an LS or LT, and you're complaining that the RS package is so similar between the LT's and SS's which in turn makes your car less special.
You're a bloody hypocrite!
