So GM is talking smack about making a ev vette. So jalopnik comes with the idea of throwing the camaro under the bus to compete with the mustang e shytbox. Fvckin idiots. I'm hoping GM leaves the Camaro alone and continues with its legacy and not MIMIC ford for once!!

Good points, but I would add #8 to the enthusiast’s list: passion for a particular brand or model, after all, zdayz wouldn’t exist without that, or any car/make specific forum for that matter.

There’s a difference between fan and fanboy though, a fan can still see and accept the flaws in their preferred model/make, a fanboy is blinded by irrational emotion.

I always reserve final judgment on a cars looks until I see it in person, that’s why I like the Supra more now that I’ve seen one in the flesh vs before.

As far as looks, no real enthusiast ever said, “this car is fvckin ugly as sin, but it’s performance is so good, I’ll overlook it nd spend my money anyway, exception being a strictly track/race car, but for a road going or semi daily/track car looks always matter, not exclusively but they factor in

Now, looks for image or getting noticed, I agree with you there, that’s not an enthusiast thing.

I liked the way the gtr looked in pictures from the get go, to me it looked purposeful and aggressive in a technological way. After owning one and staring at it for a couple years, that feeling only grew, I never would have got one if it didn’t light my fire so to speak.

Almost forgot, as far as adding body kits/exterior mods to make a car look better, excluding track focused exterior mods, I’ve never been into that, if it’s not good enough looks wise to me the way it comes from the factory, then I’m not putting $$ into it to make it look better. The one caveat to that would be wheels, but beyond that, I’m not buying a vehicle and changing bumpers etc bc I never liked the stock stuff as is.

Example, for me, the only good looking camaro is the zl1 1le, it’s the only one worth buying imo, (not just looks but performance is awesome), also I’m of the mindset you always buy the best top of he line model and if you can’t afford it, wait and save till you can.

I think the camaros, 5th and 6th gen actually look better in pics, In real life to me, again my opinion, they look too “plasticy” and cheap. Again that’s my opinion, it shouldn’t affect anyone else’s love for a ‘maro.
