When did this become a Mustang forum? Don't you guys have your own place to state how wonderful your Mustangs are/were? This is our forum

btw it did not cost me all that much to get to 560 rwhp and I have not seen many Mustangs or Cobras at the track running in the 10s. Maybe I have just not been there on the right day?

Honest to God it bothers you to be reminded that there are other cars in this world besides Camaro's. I used to post all the time on the Mach1 registry (sorry to bring that up) and that place was NOTHING spoke about other than 03-04 Mach's and it became the most boring site I've ever been on. How many threads of" hey I just got a camaro and want to know which cai is best, or which catback sounds the best, look at my colored bowtie" etc over and over again do you need to read. I bet it cost less to make my GT500 550 RWHP than you spent ( upper pulley, catless mid(actually made money selling my stock cats and buying catless mid), cai, and tune). I have yet to see a Camaro crack 10's at the track, so I must be going on the wrong day myself. None of this cures the current stangs case of the uglies, so hence owning the Camaro now

Easy dude... First, I've never owned a Mustang. Second, this is a social thread, what's wrong with a little mustang chat?

I'd rather talk about that then try to convince everyone the camaro is an end all be all exotic.

To the guys with the mustangs... Carry on. Nothing like a little friendly banter. Oh and tho it's my dads, these two have shared the garage more than once. 2007 Saleen supercharged GT.

This is why a lot of Gen5 owners are called snobs... not only by 1st-4th gen Camaro owners, but drivers of other makes as well. In the end we are all car guys/girls and talking about cars is what it's about. A conversation here and there about other cars or old memories of what some of us used to own (never a mustang in my case, fyi) is in no way unwelcome in my opinion.

Couldn't have said it better!

On a side note... will a CAI or catback void my warranty?

I agree 100%. It's no wonder why so many 1st-4th gen owners laugh at the 5th Gen community. I've never experienced so many elitist and self proclaimed "muscle car" people as I have here. The whole "5th Gen Camaro is the greatest thing since sliced bread" mentality is laughable at best. I'd much prefer a little friendly banter between two rival car owner's rather than having to see/hear about another Camaro on 26s, or why don't people wave at me and compliment my car, etc.

I love my Camaro, but I respect both the Challenger and Mustang as well. The current HP war wouldn't exist if we didn't have the rivalry and competition from the Mustang and Chally.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

One of my good friends now was someone I met on SRT forums war stories section. It was great fun shit talking about our cars , even though mine was obviously far superior to a FWD skittle. Resulted in a summer of one-upmanship and some great racing and a friendship that I still have.

I know Witt personally outside of the forum. We're both "car guys" by any definition of the term. As the others stated, it's nice to talk about cars, no matter the make and model. If this place turned into a Camaro-only forum, then I'd be out of here along with some others.

Anyway, Autoality sounds good for this weekend Al. Just let me know when. And again, anyone is welcome to join us for a quick trip out there. They have some amazing supplies and (thanks to Witt and his not-so-welcome Mustang) some decent discounts. Just tell them you're on SteelCityStangs and you get 10% off .
