East Coast Camaros not seen. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just had a quick drive in my 2011 Summit White round trip from Ottawa Ontario to & from Richmond VA. That equaled to 12 hours each way (each day), total 24 hours of high speed driving. Only once did I see another 5th gen. Camaro, a Summit White SS in Syracuse NY traffic. Saw many new Mustangs, one new Challenger.
24 hours of Interstate East Coast driving between Ottawa and Richmond, only saw one Camaro (I-81, I-83, I-95).
Made me feel unique driving my 2011 Summit White. Happy to say no speeding tickets. Not that I drove the speed limit, I was just lucky I was not clocked at 90 MPH on the Interstate. Lots of police on the route, I was lucky I managed to hit the breaks in time and avoid a speeding ticket.
First drive in my 2011, and realized my V-6 can cruise too fast. Thanks to HUD, I managed to keep below 80 mph most of my trip.

My parents live in Mass and recently took a trip to Maryland. They only saw 3 in their travels.

Traveling any major highways I usually see one, on the more local routes they're getting a bit more frequent.

it's almost winter in the north east, there probably in hibernation

When we went to the Buyer's & Builder's Oshawa Meet & Greet back in August we drove up over 1000 miles and except for the Camaros at the meet & greet (over 50) I think we saw one other across all those miles.

In New Jersey I can go for days without seeing another one and usually the same Synergy Green and a CGM on Route 206. There are over 100 listed in the Regional / NJ listing but darned if you see many of them at least where I am in Northwest NJ.

I dont know if unique is the word I would use since it seems every Camaro on the road looks the same as yours lol

evan · 10-20-2010, 05:33 PM

its funny but i never notice many outside of my area... only reason I see them locally is because the whole lot of them are owned by guys on the base, lol

jrkilburn · 10-20-2010, 05:35 PM

We run the back roads not commuter routes, lol. I drove from MD to MA in the spring and saw 1 SS the entire trip. He went by me when I was getting my ticket in CT

I see them all the time.

In September we drove from SW PA to Jackson Hole, WY, 4750 miles round trip through eight states. With the exception of two days the weather was great. We only saw a total of 14 Camaros, including four that we saw in Yellowstone National Park. I was surprised as I thought that I would see more than that.

c-dub · 10-20-2010, 05:42 PM

Yeah, when I'm on the highways I very rarely see other 5th Gens, but when I'm local near the base (Fort Lee, VA) I see more since us military guys are all young foolish and have no regards for high payments/insurance and crappy gas mileage! woot woot!

A lot of people are packing them away for the winter now. So there will be even less. :(
