You own a Camaro! Your right a lot of the V8 guys are rude about it. If they were so rich why didnt they buy a ZL1? Because they bought what they too could afford !

There are no "lowly" 5th Gen Camaros. And that is coming from a V8 guy.

Now you're taking it in the direction that usually gets the thread locked. You don't know why anyone bought what they bought.

Enjoy yours. Quit worrying about others.

you got this right... Then try having the "Bumblebee" Camaro. The attention trickles down to even 6 years olds pointing and running down the sidewalk to "race" me. I love every minute!!!

I'll assume you don't have the RS Package…… Those headlamps will set you back around $1000 a piece provided you don't go through somewhere like GMPartshouse where they will be around $760 each + Shipping. Just saying….

I liked my rental camaro but doesn't it annoy you to see your car 5 times every minute when you are out and about ? I see more Camaro's then Mustangs nowadays...

I rented an LS back in the Fall of 2010. Man did I like the look (and the looks I got) when I was driving it around Tampa Bay. Alamo just got them in that day so I was one of the first to rent one. I actaully had a couple of girls walk up to the car while I was pulling out of a mall thinking I was Van Diesel...lol

It was totally the car, so yeah the 5th Gen is a killer design IMO.

This is what I was thinking when I read the first post. I was like yeah... I think my headlights cost more than that, sucks for me having bad ass headlights that I love.

Yes, I see it all the time as well. Camaros are just a pleasure to drive, you really have to love these cars!

i think its more of annoying thing. i mean sometimes i kind of get annoyed how much more money i spent on my car. when it gets the same looks at times. well i guess that's just GM doing a really good job right?

again both cars are nice!

on a side note, my 2013 Gt500 comes this spring.

The V6s are mako, banshee sexy and are every bit a Camaro as any other. If my last three cars hadn't been six cylinders, I would have purchased one. But alas, I felt overdue for a V8. Camaros are Camaros and as long as they have been on the market there has been a six cylinder option. So, enough of the inside bickering... We all should agree that Camaros stand their ground and rule their lane. Not everyone can drive one, but glad I am that we do.
