Unfortunately Oby all the new Camaro owners I've met are not passionate car guys they're just driving a car to get around. You know it's bad when Hialeah Cubans (I'm Cuban but dammit I'm talking about the roaches lol) are talking to you about camaros lol oh well it was fun...

Probably the most active thing in South Florida right now is the new(ish) group I'm a part of called SoFlo Muscle Cars that is open to any make/model of American muscle whether it's classic or modern. We're very low key and we're not even defined as a club, so it's a way different experience than what I'm used to. Most of the activity these days actually seems to be north of the tri-county area.

I think most of those old faces we remember just moved onto different cars or different hobbies altogether. I haven't displayed mine in a show for judging in over a year and haven't brought it to the drag strip in two years. Hell, I plan on retiring it from daily use by the end of this year and getting a beater car, because I would like to keep my 2011 forever and like you, I'm not impressed with the 6th gen so far.

I don't think Florida is ever going to be like how it was 2011+2012, and maybe that's a good thing lol. You're not going to get the same feeling you had back then, if for no other reason that all the people you remember have moved on. The truth is that like everything else, the 5th gen was a fad, and with all the new cars that are out now that either outclass it (certain Mustangs, Challengers) or replace it (the 6th gen or maybe even a Corvette), only the most loyal owners will continue to own them and participate in the hobby with them.

Lol come on Robert... Have a little faith man!

We had a blast on here and met a crap load of great people. The SunShineStateCamaroRally was definitely the highest point of the fl section I miss those days but definitely don't miss all the work, drama and headaches attached to them.

Hey I am still around with both Camaros

and a 6th Gen will be coming

I agree the lack of interest this year with the SSCR 3 will make the FINAL Rally we will have cars but not like we had for SSCR 1 & 2. The Good news is we will pack them in on the Dream Cars side as well so it will be a good show but not like the Rally of old.
