Why did you get (or want) a Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Lets face it, the vast majority of people buying new Camaro's have never even been to a track let alone go on a regular basis. Street racing is illegal and you cant even post about it here. Speed limits in most the US are 35-50 mph....so why do you need a 300 or 400+HP car to drive the speed limit in 2nd gear?

because it is the most badass looking, sweetest looking, most awesome car on the road today!

Quite simple. Want to know why people are buying one. For the track? To show off? or just because they have always wanted one.

All sports cars are bought by high minded people hoping to keep them out of the hands of people who might be irresponsible.

I bought one to have a cool looking car and race people when I feel like it. Oh, and if you just want a vehicle to get from point A to point B, you really dont need a 300HP or a Corvette engine to do it. My question is what makes people want to buy them?
