The Camaro is the best car from the first movie.

The solstice was DOA, no one cares about trucks and the normal public can't purchase a SR71.

The majority of Corvette owners bought the car because they are balding, have a hairy chest, wear gold chains and are going thru a mid life crisis.

I'm sure there are a few people that bought the car because of the movie but have you forgotten the car was built for 35 years before that? I think a few previous Camaro owners may have bought a new one because they love the car not the movie.

You act as if nobody has ever heard of the car untill Transformers came out but maybe your right all those 13yr old boys that saw the movie are driving around in new Camaros.

GM doesn't need to compete with the Boss, honestly. It's a one-off.

And as long as you're keeping track of which manufacturer keeps up with Joneses, make sure and look up Ford's answer to "your" car while you're at it.

Really? Have you seen the Camaro convertible?

One has to have zero judgement to think that it won't sell on looks alone.

Sure you do... You're arrogant and your negativity precedes you. Read your last 100 posts, are any of them constructive or complimentary? ehhh... maybe 1? THAT is a fact.

I'll admit I saw the first one because someone rented it.
..... Haven't seen the 2nd one.

Why do you even give a hotdam? It's clear to see you don't like the car, you don't like ANYthing apparently... Why are you here? To show us how smart you are?

Its his simple way of explaining away the camaros success in light of his jealousy over the matter.

Simple as that.

Everything he said in the thread is true?

"no one cares about trucks"-ummm...they sell more than sports cars do. Chevrolet sells more trucks in 6 months than they do camaros all year.

"the normal public can't purchase a SR71"- he never said anything about purchasing one.....you dodged the obvious validity of his argument by twisting his words.

"the majority of Camaro owners bought the car because of Transformers"- how can this possibly be true? and if so....I would like to see some proof. Or is it just true because he said so? Their was a mustang in the movie also...LMAO.

Sounds like most of what he has said in the thread so far has actually been BS LOL
