There are only a few other 5th gens in the area. I get excited every time I even see any generation of Camaro (stock or modded/restored).

Most daily drivers in this area are trucks, SUVs, or other 4WD/AWD options (one word - mountains). There are tons of Garage Queens though for the sunny days and weekends. I just make sure Caroline doesn't miss one of those!!

I'm happy for the occasional compliment I get, instead of 3 years ago when I would get mobbed at every stop.

Earlier this summer I got a "thumbs up"...lol, I hadn't had one of those in a while.

When I drive down the road I barely ever see one. In my town near the coast I see a few here and there but not as many as you would think with Dealerships having them left and right.

Saw a nice convertible coming out of the Chick-Fil-A drive through the other morning with Purple Oracle Halo's, etc. Looked to have Oracle Sidemarkers as well. THESE are the kind I like seeing. The ones that you know aren't rentals and who take an extra interest in having the Camaro.

I've got to say, over the years I've had a lot of cars and some of them "muscle" or "sports" cars. I've never been as into a car as I have this one. If I see someone else who has one, I'm pretty sure they are feeling the same thing...that's pretty cool.

I don't mind. I wasn't exactly early in getting mine (July of 2010), but they definitely weren't common in myarea. Now, however, whenever I see one in my colors, I somewhat die on the inside lol. I was, as far as I could tell, the first to get SW/IOM in my town and now their are at least five. Which I don't really mind, but I don't like my vehicles to be exactly the same as the one next to me.

Mine's louder though :P

Most people tell me it's the nicest one they've seen. I like that better than just how nice it is.

After having the first one around my town I got to liking the attention. Then they were popping up left and right (glad they did, I love them!). Last summer while sitting at a red light I saw my twin, then I went to my friend that does custom paint and had this done.... and put on the SLP's.

RS cars don't have steel black wheels. They have the same ones you do.

Damn teenagers.

I live about 20 miles west of Cleveland and see about 15 Mustangs for 1 Camaro.

While in traveling around Sarasota and Key West Fl last June I bet I saw a new Camaro every 5 minutes.
Lots of convertibles & V/6's- many rentals I presume. There's a lot less of them up here.
When I got my SW/IOM SS delivered 8/21/09 there were very few of any color around.
SW's are still rare up here in the No East.

Well, I have seen so many black 5th Gens that i dont think they make another color. I have seen 6 black, 3 Orange, 2 Red, 3 Green, 1 IBM (almost thought it was black), 1 45th and 1 Cyber Gray. Oh and 1 white.
No bother about the qty of Camaros, just the colors.

I don't see too many Camaros in the SF bay area. Mustangs are everywhere and I am starting to see alot of Challengers.

In three years I've seen 4 abm that aren't mine. That's with driving about 100,000 miles in two cars. So it ain't because I'm not looking.

Another thing is RS (rally sport) is a package which can be added to anything at or after the 1lt trim level. IT IS NOT A TRIM. Also my lowly 2lt/rs will eat you. That is all.
