How can you even think people won't be modding their cars?
All you need to do is look around in the different areas of this site.

I bet over half the cars on here are modded one way or another.

In statistics, this is called preselected sample or population. Of course the people on the website have a higher modification rates, because the people who mod cars care more about their cars. Similarly, people who go onto a message board dedicated to their car also care more about their cars. Your comparison then doesn't hold water

He said they do on this site. But he means in general.

If I see 50 Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, etc............ out and about visually I'd guestimate only 2 in 10 are moded.

most of the people that dont mod their cars dont know how to drive either, so theyll be driving their ZL1's and GT500's at levels equivalent to GT and SS levels.

Have you looked at the Camaro's back end lately? This relates a little bit more to the Camaro's huge ass....

The only part of the whole debate I think is dumb is the comparison of a 2012 to a 2013. When it's 2013 then it's logical.

This ^^^ and the Mustang butt is terrible with that HUGE emblem on it.

I'm glad their are different pony cars to compare. The rivalry is fun, and it also keeps competition in the manufacturers. If it weren't there we'd be driving 200 hp V6's and 300 hp V8's. That was Ford's answer to a pony car before the 5th gen came out.
