Thank you sir-

Another few pages....

Some need to vent over the 5.0

 

I have NEVER, not once, seen a ford GT or 5.4 R in my area... It's somewhat rare to see Termi's and Machs. While the stang gt, z28 and ta are common place or sometimes obnoxiously abundant.

I definitely see/agree with your point but when I compare the older pony cars it is going to be between models that are not so limited in production.

Ford has a great market with this approach and I really wish GM offered the same. Even if less profit is made by the limited production vehicles it creates hype and brand loyalty.

 

I know I don't understand why so much chaos, to be honest. From the perspective of being a GM guy, I wasn't exactly thrilled when Ford dropped it in the 2011, however, I am impressed. I just don't feel a need to get on the internet and start a bunch of crap about how the new 5.0 is either king of the world or irrelevent. Oh well.

 

That is not at all what I got from his post. You always twist ppls posts into something irrational.

 

He wasn't saying anything other than you failed to see the specific point of another member's post. For a self-proclaimed know it all you never seem to know what anyone else is trying to communicate.

The greatest lessons in higher education are communication and comprehension. You seem to have no grasp of the aforementioned topics so I feel you shouldn't denounce anyone's approach, until you learn how to interpret simple points and arguments.

 

Sorry OP,

I'd like to know how you fair with the wire fixed and a spot on tune. Let us know if you get another run with a 5.0

 

I dont see what the big deal is, The mustang got a power bump....who didn't see this coming I swear to god it gets like this every few years. Mod your F body or you 5th gen. If the new Gt is a little faster outta the box so be it....and Im sorry for those that think the LS1 is dated....well yeah it is! It was designed with the competition at the time in mind. Fords strategy with smaller displacement ohc motors is nothing new people and we need to just buckle down there is no reason for all this bickering. It is seriously getting old. I have been on just about every major GM board on the internet it always turns out the same steaming piles of bullshit bench racing. I love my Z28 and thats that Props to ford on a car well built...I have no loyalties to a company they have not done one thing to earn it. For me there is magic between my camaro and I. Our love hate relationship over the years and thats just me..carry on!

 

He wasn't even commenting on anything I said when I replied to him. So how could he have been saying anything to me in said post? He was replying to snake95. Not I.
I don't ever recall claiming this. Why the dishonesty?
I have my faults. I'm usually the first to admit such things. But he wasn't communicating with me when he said what he said.
Irony at it's finest here folks.
Take your own advice before acting pretentiously condescending to others. And yes, this post of yours was pretentious.

<edit> Sorry Jay.. </edit>

 

Well said.

 

I bet it's 100% coincidence you didn't get that from his posts. He could have typed in a different language and you would still argue your point (that you don't have) for the sake of arguing.

 

For the sake of arguing?

I was just stating the obvious, no arguing that.

 

Amen to that!

 

BLWNV10 the ironic part about your post as well is, I already debunked his claims. He was doing the very same thing he claimed I was. Said poster wasn't replying to me as he claimed he was. He needed to take his own advice. And from your reply, you do too.

Follow those three steps and you'll do fine.

GM, make the 2012 Camaro 3500lbs and give it a live axle- end of story

Hell, I'd buy one myself but at 3900-4xxx lbs with an IRS.....no f-in way.

 

Definitely. The GT would have no chance then. None.

 

For the record at this time a 6th gen is on the schedule and will ride on an Alpha platform with a goal weight of around 3600 lbs. The engines will be 5th gen SBC. Yes pushrods. Yes 2 valves per cylinder. The addition of AFM and Direct Injection help make it more technologically advanced. They are aiming for 440 hp out of a 5.5 in the C7 Corvette so expect to see similar in the Camaro. Gas mileage is rumored to increase as well. See, the Camaro may have to wait until 2012 to 2014 but the answer is coming.

Ford's issue is there is no RWD platform to go to. They are stuck with the S197. Its a good platform but so was the Fox in 85. Ford has no solution for a next gen. The plan is to run what they have, and possibly for a while. Ford doesn't even have an Australian platform to fall back on. RWD Falcon is gone.

Don't worry, change is in the wind. The SBC will get another upgrade. The Camaro will lose weight. If I was going to buy a $35,000 I'd be in a 5th Gen Camaro.

REMEMBER competition is good for everyone.

Oh, and the 5.0 is a bear. There is an ebb and flow to the perfomance car market. You can't ALWAYS be fastest. Otherwise no one would buy the other car.

 

I HOPE GM puts out a faster Camaro. That will just mean a faster Mustang will be out shortly.

It's a win win for both sides.

 

Exactly my point. When they compete we reap the benefits.

 

Then again Ford could just make the same 5.0 for the next 15 years. It's not like they've never done that before.

 

You are right in the fact he was replying to snake not yourself. But for your lack of accurately comprehending and responding to his post, which you missed as my point, you failed miserably.
