I just wanted to pop in and say hi, I joined this site last week after reading some of the posts and seeing what great level headed people most of you are. I actually got directed over here from a Camaro forum that I belong to because someone over there couldn't believe the terrible things you were saying about the Camaro ... I love the Camaro , don't get me wrong, but you have to have an open mind ... my wife has ordered hers, that is why I joined the site, to learn every thing I could.

But I have always wanted a Z, and as soon as she takes delivery of her Camaro ( May 5th ? ) I am hopefully getting my Z ( finally !!!!!! ) we will see...

So I am here, with my open mind, and love of all cars ( mostly ) and looking forward to learning all that I can about the Z and hopefully not losing myself in here too much, lol. I don't know, that could be pretty hard, I fell in love with them when I was a kid, and that was a long time ago ...................

Welcome aboard! I have read all the camaro threads, and thought that for the most part, people seemed to dig the camaro (for what it is). Surprised they had a problem with it. Give up the link to the thread?

Oh, they love it alright ! And god forbid anyone talk bad about it !!!!

What really surprises me is the fact that people ( on the Camaro forum ) will tallk about how bad the interior is, but act like it doesn't matter, funny that's where I spend 99% of my time, DRIVING the car ! So it is a little bit important...

I know that there are a LOT of fanboys out there, now matter what vehicle you look at, from a Prius to a Bugatti, personally I find joy in most cars and can't understand the blind fanaticism to one vehicle in particular, but that's just me.

Agreed, interior is very important. It's hard to say that only the engine matters, unless you're a race car driver

Camaro owners/fans are a special breed - I know, Im one of them. We love the driveline. We hate how fat they are. But a large majority seem to think that its the ONLY car out there...

I'll get a new one when I make 6 figures and have a 10-car garage :-p
