Reaction from 4th Generation Camaro's on the road?
What kind of reactions do most of you get on the road from the 4th Gen owner's?
Usually half of them want to race, and drive like idiots when they spot me. The other half don't even acknowledge me, and I'm not even sure they know what the new Camaro looks like. I only ask this because this guy spots me today when I'm driving home and keeps passing me up, revving his engine and looking over at me...but no thumbs up's or anything. This seems to have happened a lot, i find it weird.

Some 4th GEN owners are half Mustang owners sometimes. I get the same thing. I thought Camaro people were on the same side.

no reactions from 4gen Camaros.
on the other hand, when I drove my 5th gen Mustang....got some really strange reactions from the 4gen Mustangs....soooo bad that my wife would comment...and wanted to know why my Mustang brought out all the idiots, or turned drivers into them. |

Hmm, haven't seen any 4th gens yet. I suppose they want to see if the hype is true?It seems like almost 'everybody' wants to get in front of me when I want to tear up an on- ramp for a little break in stomp.

I get a dirty look from them, I smell envy....
On the other hand so many Mustang owners have given me thumbs up. I'm happy about that

I pulled up to a person in a beautiful firebird, last generation. He stated every time he has taken his car out a 5th gen cruises by him. He hates it because it made his car look like crap. I complimented him on his ride. It was well kept, and looked beautiful.
He stated he wants a Camaro, but liked not having a payment. Can't wait til mines paid off. I will also enjoy it more when it is paid for. Well, I don't think I could enjoy it more...

Don't know what's up with that, but if I still had my 4th gen, I'd give a thumbs up.
