If 48's old by your standards then here's one old dude. There are a few of us around.

i got nothing but respect for those who have been around longer than i have...i salute you brotha..

i'm just happy to see enthusiasm and die hard camaro fans who are on the younger side as well...

but the way the media likes to portray it is that muscle cars are a thing that only baby boomers care about and that everybody my age wants to drive some crappy civic



i'm getting old too though i'm 24

I had a classic once and I'm only 21, although it wasn't too valuable, it was a 78' SE T/A, but they're starting to get their moment in the spotlight. And take it from me, the reason the media likes to emphasize that muscle cars are for baby boomers is probably because it GOT that way. How often do you see someone our age driving an old classic Camaro? I don't see it too often, but not because young people don't like them. They just can't afford them, and really, it's the baby boomer's fault. :( Not normal middle-aged enthusiasts, but super rich ones who will drive up the price of those cars at auctions to the point where average-income citizens can't afford them. I was worried sick about T/A's getting too valuable for me every single day until I finally got one, yet that turned out to be a massive disaster.

I see a lot of baby boomers driving around the new Mustangs, yeah. But I also see a lot of kids driving them around too. Heck, my best friend's 17 year old brother has a 2007 GT. But I really don't recall seeing a 20 year old kid driving a 1969 Boss or even a plain jane red '65 coupe. Baby Boomers I guess just like the old ones more, it strikes the nostalgia chord more.

The new Camaro... heck, this new muscle car era as a whole is OUR chance to shine and burn some rubber as well as the baby boomers to relive the days of old. It's an equal opportunity for both agegroups.

Nonetheless, hear hear. Some of us younger dudes like muscle cars too. Camaros, Challengers, Mustangs, Firebirds, Chevelles, GTO's, whatever... they're all cool, modern or classic. I'd much rather have a tire shredding Detroit V8 under the hood than imports, they're just too bland to me.
