The negative comes from his complete refusal to even look at the flip side of the coin.
As a Mustang fan, I can come onto this site and respect what GM has done with their ZL1.

For its weight, it clearly handles superbly.
From all the revies I have read, it inspires confidence to the driver unlike anything they've test driven that doesn't literally cost your arm and leg.
The car, while not my taste, is aesthetically pleasing to a LARGE number of people.
GM did a fantastic job promoting the car.
Owners are overwhelmingly coming back with positive reviews and I'm assuming big smiles.

Yet I'm sure lowdown will be the first to proudly admit he sees nothing positive about the Shelby Mustang beginning in '07 and continuing up to the not yet released '13 model.
I agree with that post, including your praise of the ZL1...

As they say on Game Shows, to the loser as they depart, "We have a lovely parting gift, just for you".

So, as a gesture of my goodwill towards ALL men, I present the following picture for y'all to hustle back to the Barn with. The caption?

"Here's what happened to a Cam-era, on a road course, after it was passed by our '13 ChiliWagon. We done blow'd the doors right off that mutha!"

HEHEHE!

Oh please. Based on you, by default the Camaro is superior to any variation of the Mustang. That is a fallacy. This line of thinking has become more and more prevalent, and has been perpetrated by many of the people here on Camaro5. When this happens, many people in the market for a new Camaro or Mustang will bypass a Mustang within that class, as they don't deem it worth a moments consideration. Without so much as a test drive, a Ford product can be pushed aside, as the Chevy equivalent is said to be, "the be all."

"Have you driven a Ford, lately?"

"Apparently NOT!"

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
