in their rice-burners??
Seriously this is getting old every time there is a little Mazda or other POS they on my a$$ or cutting me off.
Almost like if it is an accomplishment when they pass you.

I think I will tint my windows black....maybe that will help?

2010 SSRS · 08-08-2013, 03:36 PM

go 5% tint, lol

Just plasti-dip them and call it a day. The darker your windows the cooler you are, trust me.

Tint will not stop them from cutting you off but it looks good. Just be a jerk and hog up the road so they can't pass you.

Get side port exhaust and hook a wet shot nitrous setup into the pipe with a spark plug before the tip and burn his fart can little arse

Haha I totally get that too driving round where we live... The interesting thing is this is my 3rd camaro. I've previously had a yellow 2lt, and orange convertible 2lt/rs. Now that I have my blacked out ss, it's the worst it has every been! Like seriously, a notable change in the way people drive around me since I got it.. I just brush it off and take it as a compliment, but it can be annoying at times. Our cars are nice, but there are some definitely wayyy more expensive toys riding around the streets around here! lol it's not surprising to walk around my office park and see aston martins, porsche gt3's, rolls royce, ferrari, or bentley! ahhaha i love scottsdale!

ps tint will actually probably make the situation worse for you!

JR 1 · 08-08-2013, 04:01 PM

Tint will probably only make it worse. I know how you feel, but around here it's trucks. Every redneck in an old truck wants to race and thinks they have accomplished something when they pass.

Get used to it and ignore them! Not worth your time to worry about it. They have to try to prove something, you do not in your Camaro.

Depends on the car. I pulled up next to a Prius on the way to work this morning, and we both bolted off at the green light at a safe and manageable pace never exceding 1800rpm's. Both of us attempting to maximize our mpg's. I did my best but the Prius had that huge battery and what looked like a solar panel hood upgrade.

I guess that is it.
Camaro's are nice but still no excuse for people to constantly having to challenge you.
It does not matter if you drive on the freeway or just on the local surface road.

Wave at them. Let them know that they exist.

Q'smuscle · 08-08-2013, 06:42 PM

The camaros get that type of attention because it is the hottest muscle car out . Nomatter how many times you see a camaro you just can't help but look at it and act up. I have Honda's always wanting to race me. Yea, there are more pricier cars but looks and performance is there for the camaros.
