And then there's me, with a 2SS, with just about every option there is, with a very long list of mods. However since almost all of them are performance mods, so you can't "see them". So I often get, "oh I like that *insert other colored v6 camaro* more than yours." I'm thinking wow.... if you tally up price tags and mod money, my car is literally cost twice more than the other ones... and they actually like the other ones more? It doesn't bother me much... I didn't buy my camaro to attract attention. Actually I kind of despise the attention (it gets old getting stopped by 4 people at a gas station when I'm trying to get to work), but seriously..... that's like having people going up to you saying they like kia spectre's more than camaro's.
i feel you man

It is weird, I my small town, especially on weekends, I see several 5th gen Camaros. Which does both excite me to see them & disappoint me that I am not so unique. I console myself by telling myself, "but I was first" (well, maybe second). But on my daily commute to Nashville, I seldom even one 5th gen Camaro. Go figure!!!

nah, really only pony cars... and corvettes... how many 370zs do you see compared to camaros ? .... how many Z06s do you see compared to GTR.. have you even seen a GTR driving before.. i have only seen one... i saw 2 z06s TODAY.... thats was just one day...

theres nothing wrong with haveing a massproduced car.. its just not my thing... when i got the camaro i knew it would only have like 2 or 3 years... then everyone will be getting a LS.. for really cheap and they will be everywere not a big deal anymore .....

GM has a hit with the 5Gen Camaro. That is what we all wanted, right?

Therefore, you should and will be seeing a heck-of-a-lot of camaros. Over 100,000, right?

In the small town in which I live (population approximately 3500) I've seen two other gen 5 Camaros. I know the owners of both; one a yellow/blk SS and the second a summit white/IOM LT. And, like myself, both had Camaros when they were younger only to change to more practical vehilces as lifes responsibilities intruded! Now, we are all returning owners. This may be similar to some factors which fueled the muscle car desirability and price increases. Forty somethings buying the cars they coulkdn't afford as teenagers! LOL.

Whatever the reason, I see very few Camaros on the highways. Yesterday while driving to a mall sixty miles away, we saw one Camaro (Dealer lots not withstanding) and one Ferrari (California). Same thing last weekend but one Camaro and two Ferraris!

I have a 75 mile commute each way in eastern VA and only see at most one a week. On the other hand though every other car I pass is a mustang.

Yep...get used to it....for those of us who were able to enjoy that first full year of "oohs" and "aahs" EVERY time you went for a drive, those memories will linger. But it won't be long before the 5th Gen Camaro is as common as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. You will see them everywhere.

2 green,3 yellow,5rjt,4iom,2vr,1blue and 2 black (the otherblack one is supercharged) these cars are like harleys, if you want to keep your ride unique you have to put your own individual touches on it. But it won't be cheap.

I got mine with the exact options I wanted, and it came down the line in Oshawa just for -me-. If -every- car on the road was a Camaro, it still wouldn't take that away from me
