A lot of people don't like the new generation of the cars or trucks but after a while, it seems to grow on them. I like em both, but driving the 5th gen is much nicer than the 4th gen. Its just a better built car. Thats not a knock on the 4th gen, its just advancement of technology.

Why does every thread with a mention of 5th gens spiral into ugly and weight? Same tired stuff. News flash, late model cars have added weight per gov regs, they have been offset by a better powertrain and a far better chassis with out the multitude of compromise that makes up the 4th.
I used to really love this site but its turned into a hate fest. When I was building my 4th it was folks helping with ideas and working together, now its F you.

This! I lost a lot of faith in GM when they killed Pontiac.

the concepts or conversions never feel the same since they are not a true Pontiac. Well, who am I kidding, there hasn't really been a true Pontiac in 30 years. But it would be nice to actually have the brand name still in existence.

speaks for itself. this guy is clearly out to just start **** with people. and whoever did that to that camaro needs to be shot right now. i will give him credit for finding a pretty funny photo, but thats it.

BTW that car looks like it drove through all the fast and the furious movies and was parked overnight at a honda convention.

Also on S197 there can be ****** and they might delete the thread. If it isn't mustang they don't like it. Same place guys rather have there 05 GT then a new Z06.

Please, you couldn't hang with a turbo H/C fbody let alone hang with my daily driver winter beater. I can see why you have gone off the deep end. I'd be mad to having a slow car. You can always make it fast you know. Well if you had the ***** to actually do something about it instead of nip at the heals of bigger dogs.

I should have kept my 00 Z28 it was a great car except for the cowl over motor, monza rear axle, crap interior, cat hump in floor, single exhaust, junk window motors, junk clutches and slave-master cylinders, unGodly fuel tank pull for fuel pump replacement, piston slapping and oil eating SOB.

All cars have loves and hates, who freaking cars if you like my car or not? You think a poll is going to suddenly change my mind? Wow.

Didn't really read, but no idea who you are or why you're talking to me.

I use to have a 335i. It was a pretty fun little thing, just a pos after 50k miles. Bumper kept falling off and a scratch was like $839248239 to fix.
