100% agree

Its the last true muscle car look the Camaro will see. The 6th gen while quicker will never have that muscle car look. The 5th gen is a classic look and feel. Those that think otherwise are on dope.

I agree, i just love the look of the 5th gen. 6th gens are nice and gorgeous still but doesnt have that muscle look like 5th gens

Absolutely! 35k on mine. Took 10yrs before I modified the suspension and added new wheels and better tires. It keeps the excitement factor a constant. Next mods will likely be 3.73 or 3.91's and baby cam. GM knocked it out of the park in modern/retro looks.
I always tell the story of purchasing new in March of 2010 and driving Route 66 in August 2010. There were so few on the road that people were tripping on the new Camaro. Had people slowing on the roadway to get a look.. taking pictures and asking questions. For that 11 day trip, I felt like a movie star. The car really delivered with shock and awe
Just 2 days ago I was at an Xfinity store and I overheard the employees stating, "man, that is a nice Camaro, really nice."

I've thought about tracking down another set of ground effects just to store in my garage because of how rare they are. I got lucky and found my current set through a member here, NOS in the GM box with the mounting kit still completely intact.

Yeah, can’t sit on the sidelines any longer.

Picking up my 5th 5th gen tomorrow. That’s not a typo.

Now that’s dedication!

I've owned a number of "F" Body cars, and I still gotta say the 5th Gen has a great look - stock OR modified.

That trans am is equally as bad ass as any 5th Gen. Love it.

BAD DAB · 10-13-2020, 10:21 AM
