I've never seen Mustang tossed into the Camaro stereoptype before...

And the Corvette stereotype isn't rich *******, that's the Porsche stereotype...

The Corvette stereotype is a mish-mash of tack-on-accessory-loving-elvis-listening-automatic-tranny-buying-poke-around-town-old-guy...

Meh, I've always seen the Corvette guy as the cheaper American stereotype of the Ferrari guy, with that "I'm better than you" attitude and Corvette/Ferrari jacket on all the time haha.

Talking

Damn, I'm currently on my 2nd Camaro and my 2nd Corvette at the same time (and owned 4 different Mustang V8s over the years as well), I wonder which of the stereotypes I fall under LOL.

I agree with some of them but I don't know about all of those labels/stereotypes as I've seen all sorts of people driving all sort of cars over the years but for me, well, I just enjoy drag racing/setting some goofy internet records in my C6.
And I don't even own a 'Corvette' jacket LOL.

I just hope gmpp decides to sell the sc kit eventually, like they sell the ecotec sc.
At a price that will rival a typical h/c/i install. Still need headers with either route,so thats a wash.

you know whats really funny... how people use the word arsenal or bag of tricks for a car manufacturer to make more power. are you serious? like they have some secret ways of making more power that one company doesnt know about? lol...

lol... in this day in age if you think chevy couldnt release a 800 horsepower monster ls9 tomorrow your numb. same goes for ford. i think you guys forget about the entire business picture. for ***** sake we have 4 cylinder hyundais approaching 300 horsepower. its really not that hard when you have millions of dollars for r&d. Everyone forgets the bean counters (yea.. ten bolt) at car manufacturers and what they will allow. Hey go figure not everyone in the higher ups at car companies are car guys. what a mind blowing thought.

Arguing about which car is faster from the factory is gay if you're a gear head. arguing sales numbers to make a car look superior is ******* stupid.. same goes with the relentless bailout bullshit.. just makes you look like a ******* artard. everyone knows ford took money as well been proven many times. who gives a **** as long as they're both making cool **** and motors we can modify to make 4 times they came with from the factory.
