Some people, I swear. "That guy has my car too!"
Really? There's only like 130,000 of them, what are the odds that someone else has the same car??

Hey Revo, can I cut in front of you?

On that note, I hear Revo1 is in the market
As far as I'm concerned, there still aren't enough on the road!

No!!
My 3.8L only puts out 200 horsies at the crank. I can't beat your SS.

Okay guys, you're hearing this first! I'm #3 in line!
I'm hoping I get the one in a googol chance that I can find one for $200...

Its just the "gotta have the next hottest thing" crowd that are upset that people aren't looking at them and their car any more. Guess they can go buy something else...maybe an Aston would get them some attention for a little longer...

It's a $30k +- car...what did people expect?

Something along the lines of a Lamborghini-esque status, I'm guessing.

I agree, it's totally wrong to label superficial posers with low self esteem and no redeeming features other than their vehicle. To do so would be to humiliate their ego and expose their shallow, worthless excuse for existence; and we wouldn't want to do that.

Agreed. I bought mine because I liked it better than my 99SS. My Friend says she liked the 99 better. I sold it and she got upset... Oh well. I enjoy the new SS much more and could care less of what other people think.

It's great that one can have the luxury of that 'problem' where seeing another Camaro may make you not feel exclusive, but it's a hell of a lot better than being on the other side of the fence with the other 98% of people that dont' have a Camaro that just lust after every one they see! As a 2010 Camaro owner, you're in a 'club' now, everyone else is still trying to get in

My car still gets appreciative looks, even close to a year since I bought it. Less than a week ago I got a random thumbs-up from someone I was passing (yes, I'm sure it was a thumb).

It happens less than it used to, though. I do miss the amount of attention it got at first, and it makes me a little sad that the other Camaro drivers I see never do the "we're both driving a sweet car" smile-and-nod.

Still, the reason I bought this car was because it's beautiful to me, and fun for me, and that hasn't changed!
