Anyone wish the car WASN'T in Transformers?
 
I think it is safe to say 99-100% of us wanted the car being Camaro fans, not because of Transformers.

What bothers me is that, the car being basically a movie star, attracts;

-Idiots
-Kids who would touch/mess with the car
-People asking if you got it because of Transformers
-People who asks if it Transforms

Maybe it's just me :facepalm:

I don't have mine yet but I welcome the good and the bad. When I preordered i agreed to it all. Its worth it because how many people get to say during one part of their life they literally drove the hottest car on the road period. I mean exotics like ferraris and lambo and all that stuff aside this is the hottest car you can get your hands on and i relish that. Is part of the popularity due to trasnformers obviously yes. Did I buy mine because of transformers no although I'm sure the little kid inside of me helped make the decision. I loved camaros all my life and I loved transformers when i was a kid and as soon as i'm driving my new camaro i will be 100% happy with it.

I'm just a bit annoyed with all the little kids referring to any car in yellow with black racing stripes as "Bumblebee."
A '69 Z28 is not a '76 coupe...

I'm a bit worried about the stigma of "you just got it because it was in Transformers." I'm not too worried about that since the car itself is better than the movie.

"you just got it because it was in Transformers."
I'm sure people will say that throughout the life of the car but these people either being idiots or jealous or both can say what they like. Personally I bought my camaro because I wanted I new car I always loved camaros and its a 426 HP beast thats looks like sex on wheels. I will tell them that and see what they say.

I said any car. My little cousin referred to a Mustang as bumblebee...
Although, I do have to give him some credit. It was a new Mustang.Of course, Burnout's "GT Concept" was Bumblebee too.

However, it's a little kid thing. They don't know what a Camaro is, and I wouldn't put it past them if they didn't know what Chevy was.

I actually am getting one because of how great the car looked in Transformers...
