Glad you're safe dude. Amazing how well the car was built to take a licking and keep the driver safe. Upgrade to the SS, and get the TF3 stripes, T2 ports, and High Wing Spoiler

Great to hear you are safe and sorry about your friend. :(

I'm glad to hear that you're OK - sorry to hear about your beloved Camaro -

Thank you for your kind words - the Camaro team takes your safety very seriously - and that's why our engineers worked so hard to ensure that the Camaro would receive a 5 star crash rating in all catagories.

Your accident illustrates just how fast an accident can occur - no matter how much we pay attention, there are others out there -- and this but one reason why we equip our cars with so many safety features - including stabilitrak which defaults to "On" each time you get behind the wheel.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your friend who perished in another accident.

Glad your okay get another one and live the dream of building another one again

[RetroXI]

An old camaro dies, a new ZL1 is purchased with insurance money!

Glad you're alright. Car's are replacable, life isn't!

Whoa, glad that you are ok. Material things can be replaced.

Always go to the doctor after a crash, even if all seems fine. I had something similar, thought I was good, turned out, i had a featured plate in my back... which hasn't been an issue until the last couple of years.

I was just getting to the intersection at Buck Island Road and I was doing around 57 mph in the far right lane. I saw this car in the opposite direction making a left turn to turn down buck island road, and wasn't thinking anything of it.

I was assuming they were going to slow down, to check and make sure they were clear to go, next thing I know I look over and their just making the turn, in the middle of the intersection about to hit me head on. I swerved to try to avoid the impact but it was to late. They hit me doing at least 50 mph broad side in the drivers side door. I spun out for a little and landed about 400 ft. Away from the other car in the grass. After realizing what happened I patted myself down to see if anything was broken or anything and then checked on them.

The drivers side door caved in about a foot to two feet, the front tire blew and the whole drivers side was demolished. But I walked out of the car totally unharmed, the only thing is I'm a bit sore from the seat belt but nothing serious. The fire department EMTs arrived and thought they had to cut me out of the wreckage and everyone was amazed at how bad of a wreck it was, but how I was totally unharmed.

I just wanted to share this story with everyone at Chevrolet and everyone ay the camaro5 family, chevy has been in my families blood threw generations and I realized why, they make amazing, safe, gorgeous cars.

I just wanted to say "thank you will all my heart chevy" for your guys smart studying and determination to make a safe car it really paid off for me in my case, you guys saved my life and I can't thank you enough

Last week my friend passed away after loosing control of her BMW and clipped a tree, and I'm fortunate that I was in a camaro during that event if I was in anything else I could of been seriously injured.

Thank you all again, and thank you for your time.

Man 278 has and always will be a dangerous road. I grew up in the area (simmonsville rd)

"Bee" took one for your team.

[Hotwheels426]

Good to hear you are ok. Chevy should think about making a commercial around your story, highlighting how safe their cars can be, especially the Camaro.

I'd be happy just knowing they somehow read this
