And Mongooz....yea I kinda got skitchy with Nine Ball in the V6 thread. But I wasn't bashing on him or any of GM's cars. It wasn't about that. Everyone has bad days and gets set off by the wrong things sometimes. I apologized to Nine Ball and its done with. You wanna label me a troll for that, go ahead. Everyone is free to read all my posts and see that I'm the furthest thing from a troll as you can get. Just because I happen to own a Mustang and not an LSX car doesn't qualify me for immediate banning.

This is just the kind of backlash that 000000 and others like him have been bringing my way. I'm just as happy as the rest of you that he's done with. I honestly can't believe he lasted as long as he did.
IMO this guy has not been a troll and given good input. I've been in this section non-stop for the last two weeks and read EVERY thread multiple times

There are so many "embellishments" in this section, so dont get upset when I call them out!!! see below

"The Camaro LS will hang with a Stang GT"
"The Camaro SS will hit 12.5's stock"
"Im hoping for a $30,000 LS3"
"Its only 500 pounds heavier than my 02 camaro"
The LS3 SS Camaro will be a regular production version and not a Special Edition like the GT500 so that is a apples to oranges comparo, it should be GT to SS and the Mustang is going to have its *** handed to it. I'm sorry that your poor little Ford has been getting its butt kicked by a F-body that has been out of production for 6 years. The Mod Motor Fords are a joke in the performance department, it has taken almost 15 years for it to get the performance following the LS got in a year of production. Ford even had to think about bring back the "old" 5.8 Winsors to keep up with the LS and the LT1 but choose the blower route instead. Sorry to tell you this 0000000000 but the Mod 4.6 is a lame *** engine, now get your jammies on, go off and sulk before you get hurt seriously.

No offense but the GT500 is not a special production vehicle. It has been massed produced with over 10,700 units just like other Cobras. Now the GT500KR maybe a difference story.

It is a limit appeal model that isn't sold in the numbers of the GT......you don't compare the top of the line performance model to the standard V8 model. So it would be OK to compare the 4 Cyl Focus to the ZR1 Corvette then? The SS will compete with the GT thats the facts! When GM descides to do a supercharged V8 Camaro then that should be the car to compare the GT500 too or the GT500KR.

All I did was tell you you are wrong on it being a Special production vehicle.

Can't we say the same about the Z06 verse the normal corvette in a comparison then?

What does it matter that they're using a blower? IMO, it doesn't matter how an engine makes power, only that it does it efficiently and reliably. ******* the GT500 because it's got a blower is just stupid. Will you be saying the same about the Z28 if it makes production? What about the ZR1?

People can dog Ford all they want but they can just laugh because they've managed to do something that GM hasn't. Build a pony car that the public is willing to buy every year for the last 43 years. They may not have the best performance but they've been able to keep the public interested in the car all this time.

I'm die hard GM and don't like the Mustangs but I do respect that they've been able to be successful.

Mustang owners should have an opinion here. Unfortunately Mustangs began before Chevrolet brought out the Camaro. Mustangs have continued to be built and sold after GM shut down production of the Camaro.

Every Moderator has control over this board. But it's sad to think 125,000 of us can't out talk anyone.

In another section I mentioned YOU, those who race, should include Mustangs in the LS1 shoot out.

I guess, while I've read many folks are happy 000000000000, the zero, is gone. I don't understand the need for protection. If someone wants to make an *** out of themselves, me included, why worry about it?

Its funny at first to read the ****, but it becomes heavy at some point to hear the same **** over and over.

thanks god hes gone.

SS will not compare in anyway to GT500. Its the top dog unit. The GM top dog will be the supercharged Z28 in the Camaro lineup.

Yeah, that's because everybody's already got one.. I've been on many, many forums and have never seen anyone banned unless they use profanity or constantly harass the same person. It takes all kinds even if 0000000 is a "different" kind . There's a guy over on Mustang forums (professes to be an LS1 owner) that ends every sentence with "dummy" when addressing mustang owners and hasn't been banned yet. funny ****...

I'm one of those mustang owners in line for an 09'-10 camaro but don't think it will happen. Get real guys, this car won't sell for less than $40k while the mustang will probably go low $30's...

. . . .exactly. And GM doesn't need the Camaro(or firebird) to be the overall top seller. They've proven that for the past several years. Ford should be more worried about keeping up with Toyota since they've rescently been passed up, as the public's main concern shifts toward fuel economy.

The more I read your posts the more I think you are that troll 000000...
And you are living under a rock if you think the Camaro SS will be $40,000, its going to be right around $32,000, and like the previous Camaro it will eat the Mustang effortlessly.
