Generally, I don't get asked questions about my car. It goes largely ignored. Fine by me.

Yeah, on the mid-life crisis: I think a Camaro will be easier to maintain than a 20 year old college girl!

I get asked:

-How much did you pay for it?
-How many HP is under the hood?
-How fast have you gone in it?

I agree the top question is how much did the car cost, which is something I can't imagine asking someone.

Hmmm, in all honesty...

1. Is it a V8?
2. Is it stick?
3. How much did you pay?

Wish I was kidding lol. Question 1 90% of the time though....

On a related note... someone asked me what engine was in it and I said 7.0L V8... I dont know or care whether or not he took me seriously or not, but if hes asking he doesnt know

What are the top 3 questions they ask?

2. What year is it - cool

3. WTH is under your hood - cool


Have a nice weekend
Cheers from Portland
People are usually amazed when they see / hear it. They just love what we've done with it. SPI is awesome.

1. Is it stock.
2. How much HP.
3. Which shop do I go to.

When I open the hood and show them how exceptionally clean the engine bay looks, with a completely new engine and all the fancy gadgetry they are amazed. You can't even find where the line lock is setup.

2. Can I drive it (or some variation)?
3. How fast have you gotten it?
