I have owned several Camaros and Firebirds over the years before I got sick of the poor reliablility. I still check out the message boards, and thought this thread in particular was pretty funny. I did my best to defend us, but I just don't think they get it. Anyway, here is the link.

Once again who cares if a bunch of dragstrip idiots want to talk crap about the car... I get a smile everytime i drive mine.
I find that it's a pitty that so many domestic car owners only use their cars to get in pissing contests about who can get from point a-b in a straight line. The camaro's and corvette's are actually pretty good track machines

 

hahaha... they dare to compare the solstice (sorry if I spelled it wrong) with the s2k..... come on man...... if I supercharged a s2000 I be just as fast..... and I dont' think the new solstice will handle that well...... it seems like all they care about is power... hahaha... they needa grow up.....

 

Hmm...I never knew the S2000 had fuel economy problems.

 

Isn't our S a Low Emissions Vehicle? What nerds some people are.

 

Compared to the 98 Corvette I owned(auto/2.73 gears) the S2000 gets about 5-6 mpg less fuel economy on the highway.. around town it's about the same..

 

What's next, delving into how Kia owners feel about the S2000? Holy cow, it's a Camaro. A CAMARO!?! I wonder if Porsche, Audi, and BMW owners are mulling over what Fiat owners think of them.

 

Speaking as someone who just traded a SS Camaro in for a S2000......2 weeks ago I'll admit that going from a 5.7 v8 to a 2L 4 is a big change at first .I thought I would miss the smokey burnouts ,acceleration and fun V8 noise but this car is a whole new adventure ! I had to put 1200 $ into the suspension of the SS just to get it to less than .89 g on the skidpad ,the brakes were not up to the task of stopping a 3400lb car even from moderate speeds without fade and rotor warp,quality was marginal at best ....but it was a MUSCLE CAR not a sports car, no matter what GM or anyone else claims .To compare these two cars is rediculous ! I bought a Camaro because I needed a back seat and loved the engine .I have had numerous Mustangs, 3 GT's and even a 93 Saleen convertable and a 98 boxter ,Aside from the 16 inch wheels I cant think of anything I would change on my S .Maybe I'll find stuff to bitch about in a few more miles but I got what I asked for A true sports car , ....Now If I could only find A track !!!

 

They actually sound pretty tame and mature compared to most domestic forums. I'm impressed.
