He runs this site, has one of the most popular automotive podcasts around, takes his car to SEMA, gets his car featured in GM High Tech Performance magazine (okay, that was someone else, but they bought the car from him and the article mentioned his name), manufactures SmoothLocks and 5th gen die-cast cars, organizes and hosts an annual drag racing event, and is on a first-name basis with a bunch of important Camaro people at GM.I'll be honest -- the way I see it, without Jason, the Camaro enthusiast community wouldn't be what it is today.

He's modest, too.

I think most of them are on other sites. No flames intended, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of people here that own one, and a whole lot of the discussions about them focus on negatives. You can go to another popular site, and the entire first page of the general discussion area will be no more than 3 hours old, lots of people having fun, mods, questions, ect. Much much more of a hands on, more enthusiastic atmosphere on the other sites.

"Fan" is an abbreviation of "fanatic".
Not a thing wrong with liking what you like and talking about it where you please.
A bit less elitism and alot more comradeship could go a long way.

- Totally ignore them
- Tell them to spew their bitterness somewhere else
I am not 100% sure who all we are referring to, but I have some ideas.
I usually just ignore them, because I agree with Paul...they don't change my opinion just because theirs sucks. 
We are a brotherhood and a Camaro community here, nothing has changed that and nothing will.Every site has their issues, though...every site. I have seen issues elsewhere and I am glad we don't have much of here.
BUT...BACK TO THE POINT....
I am interested in hearing what people are planning. I am indeed looking into a cam swap. Maybe some interior customization and more under hood enhancements.
