I approach Camaro owners all the time to invite them into our car club. Quite often, the V6 owners act intimidated or embarassed about their car, saying "Yeah, but it's only a V6". I quickly point out that it's a 323 Hp V6 that gets incredible gas mileage. I also discuss some of the mods available that will rip the tires off the rims if they choose to.
GM did an outstanding job on this car; from the base model to the Z/28. There's no need for any owner to be sensitive about their car, and no reason for any of us to put the others down. If every car had to please evey person, we'd be driving around in little grey bubble-cars that farted rose petals (aka the Volkswagon Beetle...)!

That said, one of the issues I see on this (and any) forum is when someone posts pics of their car with the latest mod, and asks several thousand people for their opinions...
Now you've left yourself open to a full-frontal shotgun blast to the face!!!You had better be thick-skinned and ready for several thousand "WTF???'s".

I said I don't respond to threads bashing Camaro's and/or bitching about things people don't like about the car.

Taw, I"d say get thicker skin or blast back at them. It's the only way. Enjoy your car and let the haters wreck theirs.

Wouldn't it be cool if at a camaro meet , maybe Camarofest, They organize a Mustang demolition derby! Kinda what the HD bikers do with the Japanese bikes. With one difference. They give the winner a 500$ gift certificate for a new Camaro. Now that would be Mustang Bashing !! I am joking,but just saying

The S10 forum is really bad about name calling. And it's even in the forum rules not to but the mods there defend those that do. You wouldn't believe some of the things said to me when I posted a picture of my Camaro in the off topic section. It's mostly a bunch of under 33 year olds that have no respect for anyone else. It's really sad when you think about them becoming our future leaders

I don't think the V6 sounds bad, but too me and too a lot of people it doesn't sound like "Camaro."
Couldn't disagree more on the exhaust comment. Of the 6 Mustangs I've owned (all V8s), everyone complimented the deep rumble they had from the factory. I had my SS Camaro two days and the guys at work were calling it an electric car. GM failed miserably on the exhaust system. Went aftermarket within the same week. You have your opinion, but I really can't see how anyone with an unbiased opinion could make the same assessment about the exhaust that you did.

Can't we all channel our negativity to mustang drivers or something? Jeeze.
Hey leave me out of it. You bought the 1LT RS, not I.
