Ya no V6 wasn't a good idea for that car imo.

Maybe its just where I live, but any guy in his 20s has to rev when they are near me.

...or a more powerful 4-cylinder turbo upgrade option.

I think that's true everywhere with these cars. The one I love is the Ricer Flyby... That always gives me a laugh & I just let him think he won the race we weren't having.

Yes....smaller motors are the current trend. By 2030 most are looking for electric to be their flagship.We don't make the Accord here but I think if you opt for the 2.0 turbo over the 1.5 it has 252 hp vs 192 in the smaller motor. I heard they do have some lag but are a real good runner once you get going.

2 Fridays ago, had some random dude on the freeway wanting me to rev up the ride... gladly, I gave him the show he was looking for. Got a thumbs up lol.

A few months back, had a guy in a white challenger on the same fwy (I15) come up besides me, asked me to roll down my window, and yelled out the window - that's one of the nicest Camaro's I've ever seen. I yelled back, that is a nice Challenger too.

I've had people come up to me at Gas stations wanting pictures more times than I can count with my hands...

Its a nice ride and it doesn't appear to be fading in style.

That's the best thing about the 5th gen styling. Even tho there os s newer version the 5th gen still gets attention. And that includes my IOM 2011. I get compliments everytime I drive it.

Yep.... and I reckon if I drove it more, I'd have many more stories. I only typically drive it Fri/Sat/Sun.....

There's a 252 HP option?! I wasn't aware of it. Weighing only 3,200 lbs, the 0-60 must be decent.

Bro these 5th gens are some bad ass cars. You can never go wrong with one , just a respectable machine all around, that looks even better with time.

Your Camaro is sick bro , I can’t even lie 👊🏽
