Never get tired of seeing fellow Camaros, regardless of the gen.

I like to see if I can identify the model and any mods that are visible.

For me it depends. I don't exactly drive the speed limit myself most of the time so if they are driving fast enough to pass me I just think "What idiot. It's drivers like that that give the rest of us a bad name."

The same way I feel when anybody else does it. It's not cool, it's annoying.

Slowly passing/waving/ crushing next to me is different.

That is until they realize my car is a JUST V6, therefor I must be driving JUST a car. No way I could possibly love my car like an SS owner.

I used to care when I was younger, but since turning 40 there are more important things to worry about in life. As long as I get to and from work every day without wrapping myself around a tree, then I am fine. Thats probably another reason why I went with a V6 instead of the SS.

I live by the Ricer Creed: "If anyone passes or even looks at me, it's a race."

It's funny though, when anyone blows past me my first thought is that they are paving the way for me to drive however fast I want, the trooper will get him first lol

Sometimes it pisses me off inside, sometimes I don't care. Driving should be civil, respect the people that just want to travel not play on the roads , and know there's a right time and right place for things.

Basically I drive my own drive, not worried about what other people are out doing. I run the crap out of my car when I choose to.

This is a good question. I was wondering what other Camaro owners thought when I passed them. I know the Mustangs are envious and feel sad.

Some of the comments in this thread make me feel sad, sad that people actually think this way.

It doesn't matter the model or engine size if I see you and you want to play I'll play. As long as no one is hurt or an accident is caused it's all good to me. I bought the car to enjoy and have fun in. To many people are full of themselves and their abilities as drivers your car drives and handles better than you unless you drive for NASCAR get over yourself.
V8's don't scare me or my car, I've seen four bangers that killed 8's so stop topping off your kool aid.
