I'm a little conflicted about seeing other Camaros. On one hand, I rarely see them and wish I would see more. I've seen 3 while driving around in 4 months (other than dealer lots). So yeah, it's very cool to see another one. On the other hand, I like having such a unique car. I suspect a little more time will change this situation.

I do like seeing another camaro on the road but can someone tell me why the people driving them are not too friendly, the last few guys i have run next to or even parked near were total jerks.

It's been 50/50 for me. When passing them coming the opposite direction I flash my high beams at them during the day and wave. I usually get nothing in return. Def not like when I rode my bike, everyone waved.

I even wave at mustangs...

I feel exactly the same way. I've had it about 4 months and I can't believe it's mine.

Anybody else react that way when they see another 5th gen while driving their own?

btw the white looks stunning in person and would have been my second choice.

Yeah that happened to me today as I was driving home from work. A victory red SS was stopped at a light as I turned the corner right by him. We both waved enthusiastically.

That car just looked so beautiful & bold, especially sitting there in traffic surrounded by all the boring everyday ho-hum cars.

As I drove away I was struck by the realization that I too was in a car like that. I've never been affected by a car quite like this before. It's pretty awesome.
