But that's okay. It lets you see our lovely taillights

That works. Your rear ends are cute. Otherwise I have to pull out all the stops to keep that hideous grill a tiny speck in my mirror.

Oh and a special note to Fiveg56, Comrando and I are just joking around with each other, watch and learn.

It’s a serious question. Just wondering what brings you to Camaro5. Just to take shots?

Good to know...very sorry for calling into question your motivation to come to Camaro5.

Terms of Use:

1) Respect & Be Helpful — By far, the most important rule here. Generations of Camaro enthusiasts have come together through a shared passion for the car and the community (in fact, the name "Camaro" means "friend, pal, or comrade"), so the golden rule applies: Treat others as you wish to be treated. This means no foul language, insults, or rude remarks towards other members.

12) Camaro vs. — Please keep in mind that this is a Camaro forum. We like talking about cars in context of the Camaro. We respect a great number of diverse vehicles here, but what ultimately brings us together is the Camaro. If you are not here to discuss the Camaro in a respectful and polite manner, please refrain from posting.

It's all in fun. The guy has a BOSS but i have seen him compliment ours as well. Besides these boards are more fun that the Stang boards so i don't blame them for coming here.

Yea...never been to a Mustang forum. I get that it's all in fun, but it seems like Camaro5 should be a place were we don't have to put up with Camaro bashing.

Does anyone pull second gear while burning out with their M6? The owners manual says not to do or you'll hurt the trans, but when your roasting the tires in first, pulling 2nd gear seems like the natural thing to do.

If i was made of money i would buy every V6 camaro owner a V8 and pay for their gas so they could feel the same way i do when i see a stang on the streets.

I guess they may need some cash to fix i/h/e too...

:edit:

Forums are a concentrated place. For some of us, people just don't mod their cars.

Hanging out here is like hanging with my buds growing up. I drove a '69 Cougar, my best bud a '72 Charger, one friend of ours a '68 Charger and a Superbee and another a '70 Javelin. We used to rag on each other all the time but we loved each others passion and secretly wished we could have each others cars as well. It is more fun here because of that. I go to the Mustang forum for support and tech talk although I get most of that from my club affiliation with the Golden Horseshoe Mustang Association. Also if you read in another thread after helping a friend hunt for a Shelby GT500 for months he bought a Camaro. I couldn't be happier as I get to tease him now. It's all in good fun, Ford vs Chevy is like battling siblings or cousins not an all out Civil war. Learn to take it as well as dish it out and you can enjoy some laughs and make good friends.

I'll give you some starting points. Mustang rear ends look like they have a diaper. Our tires are too skinny. Solid rear axles belong n covered wagons not performance cars. I'm sure others here can give you some metaphorical paintballs to lob my way.

This. I missed out on the golden age, but this expresses my sentiments on the issue exactly.
