blah, blah, blah....same ol' story.

What everyone needs to realize is thank god the cars are so close. Chevy put the LS3 into a Camaro so Ford had to ditch the 4.6 and go to the 5.0. Now Chevy needs to respond.

The competition between the companies will make both cars better in the long run. For Christ's sake Ford kept that 4.6 for over a decade because Chevy flamed out in 2002. Mustang fans should be happy the Camaro came back cause if it didn't then you'd prolly see that damn 4.6 for another 4-5 years.

Also, since the Chally is so god damn humongous now they are gonna come out with an SRT10. So Dodge is gearing up with a response as well. I cant wait to see that monster on the road!!!

I think its absolutely awesome that all three companies are making the cars they are right now. Shit, I wish I could buy one of each. However, I can't. So, I liked the way the Camaro looked the best (plus I am a Chevy guy anyway) so thats what I bought. Plus, when I bought the car last April 2010 it was better than the Chally and the Mustang (in my opinion).

I like going to car cruises now and meeting my fellow modern muscle car drivers. And what I have noticed is that more or less (to me) its us verse the old cars and imports. I get more BS from those guys than anyone else. More or less the guys in new stangs challys and chargers like my car and likewise I like theirs. The guys in the old Camaros, GTO's, Chevelles, etc etc are now the ones who talk down about my car. Some of the comments are meant to be disparaging but they are not. The most common one I get is, "Yeah, any jerk can buy a new 12 second car. A real man builds his own....." I like asking them if they have a/c, power windows, IPOD, blue tooth and can they even take their prized possession on a road trip. Well I can drive across country in my car in complete comfort and still raise hell if I want. You can drive your 4.11 three speed big block from your house to the gas station and back a few times a month.

Now when I go to shows or cruises I'd rather park next to a new Mustang or Charger than a 69 Camaro.

And don't get me started with the Ricers. Other than the Grand Nationals (and GN) I dont wanna hear about how your car is faster than mine. Its not, period. Just cause you spent 20k on a turbo or $1200 on a 150 shot of nitrous your car may be faster today but lets be realistic that sucker is gonna blow up within 10,000 miles. Plus, I could add a turbo or supercharger too! Hmmm, 550+ hp at the wheels with a conservative and reliable set up. Just be quiet ricer and go park next to the other morons in their preludes and civics.

I drive a new Camaro but if I ever see a ricer against anything (old, new, german or italian car) I root for the ricer to blow. Thankfully they do that a lot.
