Yep! Lol Happened to me a few times but when I walk out to my car. Once at a gas station, then again at the grocery store.

It has gotten exposure, especially for those people who attends the Automobile convention shows

...not sure about the camera phone, but I am near some very high dollar Euro cars who pay particularily close attention to my ZL1 when I stroll around in their neck of the woods.

Well, the service guy at the dealership took some photos when I dropped it off for an oil change today haha

And I've had numerous people drive past with the female passenger checking the car out as they go past - or maybe they are checking me out - on second thoughts no, it's definitely the car

Oh, and the girl in the local drive through McDonalds always makes me rev my engine haha!

It's a little of both, I've noticed the women looking also! They want to be riding in the car somehow.

Me and the gf were on our way to my sisters house in PA back in October with our 60th anniversary edition Corvette 427:

Anyways, we're cruising along Rt 287 west into PA when I see in the rear view mirror, this little Toyota comes zipping through traffic. When he pulls up behind me I was expecting him to try and pass but then I see this flash. I look at the rear view mirror again and he's got his phone out taking a picture.

So it hasn't happened in the Camaro, but the Corvette yes.

I've noticed that as well. I even had a BMW M6 try to race me the other day.

As for pictures, I haven't seen anyone take any while driving but it's happened on occasion when parked.

I had this happen to me last week actually. When I was stopped at the light I noticed a flash in my rear view mirror, when I looked up I seen some girl holding her camera up taking a picture. Gave me a good chuckle.

SPOOKYGUNNER · 03-20-2013, 09:29 AM

People r constantly honking their horn or yelling out nice car etc.. Don't mind being noticed but I keep thinking i'm about to have an accident when they honk!

Haven't noticed the iPhone paparazzi yet, but occasionally while cruzing Houston freeways I notice a vehicle fast approaching in the rear view, then boom - matches my speed for a
