I have owned a bunch of Fords, Chevys and MOPARS. I have no brand loyalty. I do stay away from German cars though for various reasons. I bought my Camaro SS on a whim when shopping for a C7 Corvette. It was on the showroom floor with the top down and when they fired it up to take it outside for a test drive I knew I was going to buy it. It doesn't sound as good as the Ford V8's but pretty good. It was comfortable and since it was a 2SS Fifty Anniversary Edition had a distinctive front end that I really like better than a Mustang. Of course looks are subjective. I have my share of issues with it. The infamous A8 shutter where they flush the trans 3 times. Had that done twice each time with a different fluid. My remote sensor located in the car went bad and the car would not start. Several recalls but I still like the car a lot. I know the Mustang also has some issues but probably not as many as I have had. It comes down to what you like in either car. Camaro has more torque giving you the impression of being faster than the Mustang GT which is what I prefer. The thing with a GM car is you better get an extended warranty which I did. For a family car it's Honda, Toyota and Hyundai (long warranty).

Yeah, Gen 2 Mustang really should be stricken from the record. I would allow GM the same with the Gen 4 FBody.

Gen 2? By my count, the 74-78 version was Gen 5.

I didn't get a Camaro because I realized they can't really transform into Bumblebee by slapping a sticker on the car.

Lol
There’s an episode of Star Trek Voyager where there was an old Camaro. One of the characters looked at the name and pronounced it “cam-err-oh”.

What a F'in geek you are. Honestly, that's about the most obscure reference you could have made. BTW, it was B'Lanna Torres that mispronounced 'Camaro'.

• 3rd gen Camaro over Fox Mustang. Camaro over Firebird

Up to '84, I agree. From 1985 to the F-body change ('91?) I'll take the Mustang. Neither were anything special, but at least you could get the 5-speed in the Mustang. 350 Camaros & Firebirds were all autos and the 305 was too far off in terms of power.

I lost all respect for Tom Paris that day.

He was knocking the bottom out of his Klingon girlfriend in his Camaro while in the Delta quadrant. Exactly what are you finding to criticize?

I’ve only ever heard it pronounced ku-marrow. Of course in my neck of the woods in Canada we say zed-28, too, not zee-28.

I know it was B’Lanna that said it but if I said the name, not many people would get it. I binged the entire series last year so it’s fresh in my memory.

Kiwi's pronounce it with the same cadence as they pronounce Subaru. They botch them both.

Other than things like civic type 'R' lol

 

[shogun32]

shi-bikku taippu Ah.
the 'R' phonetic doesn't exist. It's an 'L' or an 'ah' like open your mouth and say 'ah' at the doctor's office.
So 'camaro' would be pronounced 'kah mah lo'. They don't have a 'rah' like Egyption sun god. they have La like lollipop.
