GM marketing Camaro to gay men

[The Continental]

I saw this and remembered this topic. That car is just 24 inch chrome blade wheels and some Skittles decals away from being a donk.

Granted, I had trouble hooking up but still....

LOL I know it's an old post but I've yet to find one of those STOCK Ford Lightenings that go mid 12's. More like low 14's. LOL

The SRT-10 IS a stock 12 second truck so it sounds like you can't drive and got suckerd by a guy with a well modified Lightening.

They used to do Hannukah Harry. As Jerry Seinfeld noted, it's only appropriate to make fun of one's group if you belong to that group.

wow, this has to be the most entertaining threads i have ever read. oh yeah, i still want a new camaro. only thing keeping me from it is the 5000 over sticker when they initially came out. the idea that gay men waste gobs of money is kinda bogus, however if you see a gay guy with the latest and greatest, i guarantee he has money to go out for drinks that night. its all about smart spending.

anyone wanna go out for drinks?

It's these kinds of brain dead decisions that killed them.

It's built, BTW in Canada on an Australian platform which is funny given how much they drape it in the American flag.

I went to the auto show last week, and they had reproductions of three classic cars -- the Chevy Camaro, the Ford Mustang, and the Dodge Challenger.

Ford has done a good job with the Mustang, and Chrysler did a great job with the Challenger, capturing the feel of the original car. GM, in its usual fashion, butchered the Camaro. It looks like a cheap plastic car, a severe downgrade from the original. It sickens me that my tax money is propping up this company so that the unions can continue to be paid for bringing the company to its knees.

Yesterday at a car show I saw a 1969 Camaro side by side with a 2010 Camaro and yes the 1969 wins hands down in the design department. The only thing the 2010 Camaro has going over the 1969 is the handling and the power. The 2010 Camaro in comparison to the 1969 Camaro, is taller, wider and a **** load more fuglier not to mention heavier. Hell even the window openings on the 2010 Camaro are smaller.

On that same token I've seen a 1970 Challenger paired up against the 2008 Challenger and it's the same ordeal...the 2008 was taller, wider, heavier than it's predecessor....plus they got the angle of the rear roof line all wrong on the 2008 Challenger. It needs more slope to it.

Speaking of Camaros, I raced an LT1 Camaro yesterday with a turbocharged 6 cylinder Regal and smoked him not once but twice from a 75 mph start. He didn't want a rematch on the 3rd try.
