Seeing other people turn their heads checking out my car when they pass me or I pass them..

Seeing kids smile or hearing a kid say "Cool car!"

Hearing "Nice color!" or "I LOVE your car"

Even COOLER???

This happens nearly EVERY DAY!! even after 2 years!!!

I'm so proud of my Camaro!!!

I also love it when you get passed by a guy and his wife/gf and she can't stop checking out your car as you pass each other in traffic. It's got to be awkward for the guy lol

I totally agree with you OP, i still get lots of attention from the young and old and i'd say just about every single day, its amazing.

I had a guy yelling from across the street(he was walking)while I was at a stoplight. I thought to myself "this guy wants a dollar or something",so I roll down my window and he says"nice car,is that the 500 horse power model?" I thought fast and said "no,it's the
600 one". Hey,he believe it.TSP headers and Cherrybombs sound the part.Took off a little hard,while he gave me a thumbs up.

Last weekend, my wife and I took the Vert to a show then a ride in the country. As we were coming back into town, a group of high school girls were having a car wash at an Auto Zone right at a red light. As we're sitting there, they all yell, "We love your car!". I "let it eat" a little pulling out so the Flowmasters rumbled. This car definitely gets checked out!

Yea its a great feeling, my recent story... I was leaving Best Buy just to see two little kids standing next to my car getting their picture taken with my car. Seeing those kids reaction to the car is one of a kind. Thank you Chevy for making such a kick a$$ car

Talk about other guy's wives, I came out of a Sports Authority got in my SS, sent a text, then looked up and to my left, and here's this brunette smiling at me huge, I mean like huge, and her eyes are all sparkly. I notice she has a baby in a carseat in the back of her Lexus and her husband is in the drivers seat. I'm staring right at her, probably looking speechless, and she just keeps smiling. Finally, I decide I better put it in gear and get out of there. Then it hits me, she's looking at the SS, duh, not me. I'm a new owner obviously, so I'm not used to stuff like this yet

The one I've seen several times that cracks me up;

While sitting at a light, I look in the rear view mirror and see the guy behind me stealthily sticking his camera phone out the window and snapping pictures of my car. I've seen girls do it too, but they don't try to hide it. They just snap away and give a thumbs up!

I get a lot of comments and attention as well when I am about and about as well, what was really cool was the other night I let my wife drive and on the way home we pulled into the local convenience store/gas station and a bunch of locals were hanging out, she pulled right up to the front of the parking area where everyone comes in and out of the store and congregates. I jumped out and went in to get some beer and she stayed out in the car.
When I got back in the car, I looked over and she was ear to ear permagrin

, she told me how several individuals were checking the car out and how a couple came up to the window telling her how bada$$ the car was, she was just eating it up for sure. I told her it aint too late to get her one, but she has her heart set on a Jeep Wrangler, I dont blame her though, I love Jeep Wranglers, they are the only other vehicle I would have other than a Camaro
