However, I can be honest too and say I wouldn't hype up a Mustang though over a Camaro considering their pretty comparable.
Realistically, I think at some point GM slighted him, and now it's payback.

Agreed. But a reviewer shouldnt be completely biased just because he knows what an expensive car feels like. Honestly though I don't think that's what happened here. He just didn't like the Camaro. Which is fine. It's not the be The be all end all of cars. It's just a fun cool car.

I lurk these forums pretty often collecting info and I really can't believe how many of you just start attacking each other and letting your egos get bruised by what some TV personality, who most of you don't seem to have ever heard of, says.

Just take what Matt says with a grain of salt.

This is the same guy who LOVES his C5 but completely trashed the C6 and ends his C6 review by saying save your cash and buy a C5 and mod it the way you want to get it on par with the C6...

If this was 2002, he would still be praising the Mustang while being stacked up to an SS. An '02 SS would slaughter that pony in performance but would just stick with his comfort argument. He is a big guy, I'm surprised he even has a C5.

Also, Top Gear UK is awesome. They couldn't even trash the Camaro the way Matt did, except for the murderer jokes.

i think that this matt farah whoever is a total nobody and his tv time is almost up. refardless of what his opinion is on the camaro. he's barely internet worthy.

Just think about this though, he owns a c5 vette, and he said once his first real sporty car was a fox body 5.slow, so just knowing that we all know that those two are the biggest gen 5 Camaro haters!! Just listen to his review's on anything mustang,you would swear he was balls deep in a new mustang?

So he compare $100k cars with a $38k car?? Yet he slobbers over a hyiundai Genesis coupe and glorifies the stying? Get real.


So its personal and he is biased from the start. Its then not a valid review.

I have a 2010 RJT 2SS/RS and love it, and I know many people who envy those that have one which humbles me. Matt may be a "stang" guy but thats ok, he can drive a box with wheels, it doesnt bother me.

just my .02

Well if no one watches the show it might go away and Matt with it. He can then get a job flipping burgers at Burger Chef. He should be reviewing French Fries, crumpled vs. non crumpled.

Well keeping in mind that everyone is in fact entitled to their own opinion........
I decided to watch this video, after his first rant about no visibility and short roof line, my wife looks over at me and says "Somebody needs to buy this guy a box of tampons and a box of midol" LOL, keep in mind she is 5'10. Just felt the need to share this.

Agreed

Me personally the Camaro was the coolest car I could afford. I've always wanted one since I was in high school. At 26 I bought one and I loving it. However you just have to blow off the negative media. He's going to be positive to the highest bidder just Like the magazines.

[ParisTNDude]

It seems to me that anyone who offers a post on C5 with such negativity toward the 5th Gen Camaro is doing so only to encourage hate and discontent among the members. It's a shame the forum doesn't have the ability for the OP to block comments from those agitators....LOL. The only other option is to simply ignore them.
