Thumbs down Re: GM releases 5th Gen ring tone!

I tried it on my Verizon. Either I am doing it wrong or it does not come out very good.

Re: GM releases 5th Gen ring tone!

Could have done a better job, if you ask me. Maybe some revving, peeling out, and going through the gears or something, rather than just a string of neutral revs.

Agreed. It's of too poor quality anyways.

"That was on ____?" I can't believe someone forgot to edit it out.

This ring tone may sound too thin on cell phones. What makes it cool in real life is the rumble of a V8, which one can't feel on a tiny cell phone speakers.

JMHO

Re: GM releases 5th Gen ring tone!

Why would you want the V8 symphony that took alot of money to tune to get just the right note played through the rear exhaust, then played over cheap low quality speakers in a cell phone? Wouldnt that risk being associated with poor quality that had nothing to do with your product or am I overanaylizing this?

Re: GM releases 5th Gen ring tone!

(bad) Sound quality on cell phones has been greatly exaggerated in this thread. Not that I think they rival ordinary speakers, but they're pretty good. I have a ringtone of a The Doors song and it sound really good.

You should be less worried about sound quality on cell phones and more concerned about the quality of thia clip itself. This is a pretty crappy ringtone. Not only is it boring and a bad recording, but someone is talking at the end.....I could edit that out myself, you mean GM can't?

I'm actually pretty pissed about this. It doesn't send out a good message.

OMG people....it's a friggin ringtone......if you don't like it, don't use it. I gotta tell ya, if this is how this will go, I don't think I can keep reading these posts for the next two years and beyond.

I just can't wait for the actual car to get here so you will all have something to really bitch about.

Here's the Top 10 posts I'm most looking forward to in the future.

1. The new Camaro is a pig......it's too heavy to get out of its own way.
2. The factory radio is a piece of crap.....I'll never buy it.
3. No t-tops, no deal....so long GM
4. Where's my 454cu in 600hp Z28?
5. The production car is 1/2 inch taller than the concept......GM has lost it.
6. GM blew it.....again. Just like I said in 2006 when the 2009 date was announced.
7. Screw it, it's to retro....I'm buying a Ford or a Dodge.
8. The die-cast is a better car than my 2009.
9. I told you without a solid axle option, I won't buy it.
10. Where's the power option delete on the order form?

And here's the bonus thread you know someone will start.......

When did they bring the Camaro back?

I'm sure I will have many, many zings in the morning when I check this post. I don't really care........go for it, just shows you can't come up with something constructive to comment on.

Agreed.
I'm just happy GM is spreading excitement about this car.

I've never said, and will never say/ask any of those. Don't make assumptions when you don't know where I'm coming from (granted, I didn't make it anywhere near clear where I'm coming from).

I'm speaking strictly on a point of advertising/perception. I'm a little overly excited and in turn, overly concerned about how the advertising is handled, to every detail. I'm so happy about this car, your top 10 posts made me laugh.

I want this car to do extremely well, so when they release a poor quality ringtone that is a poor representation of what the car sounds like/will sound like, it puts people off (just a little). It is only a ringtone, yes, but to me, every little piece of advertising makes an affect, and if they have too many misses in that department, the old neutral or negative perceptions about Camaros won't be turned around. I want Camaros to outnumber Mustangs, not the other way around. And that's where I'm coming from. So don't give me that, my slow little 3.4 gives me a lot of problems at times in it's old age, and I'm happier than a smug hybrid owner .

You're dreaming if you think whining about what other people will whine about is more or less constructive than what you thought my post was about, which again, I realize should have been more clear to begin with.

Oh, and yea, your arrogant put downs are not welcome or warranted, thank you.
