I just gave a presentation to 500+ UF students about the Media Bias towards GM and how it affects sales. Staggering amount of bias out there. The one thing people need to remember is the News Agency is a profit organization... If people dont watch their network they cant sell advertising slots and they dont make money so they have to stay 'hip', they cant 'afford to be different' and tell it like it is sometimes.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Are you serious? Dude, relax... Mustang owners are SCARED OUT OF THEIR MINDS that the new Cammy's are coming... I think they get hear the Camaro's engines in their sleep and its making them wet their bed! They are so mad that they got suckered into buying yet another underpowered unattractive car like everyone else on their block. The only people who still turn their heads to look at their cars are grannies who wonder "What is that grinding screatching noise?" Here's what's going to happen to you. You're going to get your Car. The employees at the dealer will applaud when you drive it off the lot. EVERYONE will be looking at you and taking pictures when you drive it home. Then when you hit a red light and some toe-head in a mustang drives up beside you, you'll grin, but just slightly. You will ever so slightly tap the gas. Not in an agressive way, just an "oops" kind of way. The mustang driver will sweat. His girlfriend will gawk at your car and at you, but you won't look back. Why? Because (a) you're too cool, and (b) who dates girls who date mustang drivers anyway? Now the light turns green. Mustang-guy GUNS IT. His wheels squeel and he goes down the road. You on the other hand, just press the gas gently and go on. Why? You don't need to race. You don't need to do anything. You are driving a freakin' 2010 CAMARO! The mustang driver just spent $20.00 on gas, added $250.00 wear and tear on his car, and pissed off his girlfriend. Maybe he got caught by that cop on the corner and got a ticket too. Let's pull up and see - yes! - Yes he's getting a ticket. Hmmm... his girlfriend is walking away from him now, Meghan Fox style. Your favorite tune on your USB-Connected Iphone starts playing on your car stereo. Today is going to be a good day... |

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to get on here and read stuff like this. F**k the newsmedia, and quit listening to these morons and doomsday droolers. Stupid sheep. I agree with Camaro Spike...Falcon punch.

Some dealerships didn't take customer pre-orders but pre-ordered "stock" cars which is within their right. |

I chose to keep my Camaro on the down-low and didn't tell very many people that I had ordered one, but I've had to endure only a few times the "When are you gonna get your Camaro?" bit.
And then it was from people who knew that they could away with it and not end up with a bloody nose for their trouble. I am tired of waiting? Hell yes I'm tired of waiting.....................but I'll wait some more and maybe a little more. AND then, and THEN, AND THEN..................when she gets here...................I'm gonna let the whole world know about it as I rumble by in my NEW 2SS/RS Bad @ss to the bone Camaro. I'll be looking for every Main St. around here. That's the kind of Media the people need and the people want. ![]()

I keep getting grief from my mother of all people.
Things like: "your car is paid off.. why do you want a car payment in this economy" "are you sure that is the right car for you.... you still have kids at home" "you should save your money" "why did you order an SS.. you should want better gas milage" "what if GM goes under.. who is going to handle the warranty" ARGH she's driving me crazy! |

my friend just bought a 93 Acura NSX for way too much. Other people dog him for buying a 16 year old car that costs more than most new cars. The fact is that he has a kickass car that is his dream car and he loves the thing more than anything else and anyone who tries to say it is stupid that he bought it looks like an idiot because they secretly envy what he has. It is the same for the Camaro, anyone who talks crap is insanely jealous that you are getting what they wish they had the balls to buy. Plus, all the Mustang owners are pissinh themselves because even the V6 has more balls than their GT.

Oh BTW, I thought I'd never see the day when my event code changed from 1100, but I got the email this morning.......................Code 2000! Oh yeah, it's coming...................and it's coming direct. Hang tight brothers and sisters. And when the naysayers say nay, look 'em in the eye and tell 'em....."Oh yeah, it's coming".....and then walk away w/o another word.
Justice WILL be served......and so will they!

Man, I hear the same thing... until I show them the pictures of hundreds and hundreds of Camaros on the lot. At that point they have nothing to say. Then, I begin with the specs such as fuel economy coupled with their respective horsepower... then they ask "How much?"
You just have to educate some people, they simply don't know. |
