Any cool stories of Your 5th Gen SS or Zl1
Hey Camaro Family. I was just wondering if you guys had any cool or random story about the attention you get from your camaro. I have a 2014 red 2ss with black stripes, and it get a lot of attention from kids,Teenagers, Ladies, Etc. People want to race all the time, complaiments non stop. Just wanted to hear your experiences, because i feel the 5th Gen camaros are timeless.

I get the competitive notion from some drivers as well. I’d hardly call it a race.
It is fun revving beside a fine young thing!

On the street my car got lots of compliments, especially when I was waiting in traffic. With the right options these cars can look really good. Shortly after I bought it some random person ask if I wanted to sell it. That didn't happen in my Bonneville.

I drove it into work one day which I rarely ever do as I have a company truck I normally commute in. A co-worker jumps out of his Hyundai sportute and proceeds to tell me my car screams of a mid-life crisis (I'm mid 50's now). A couple of the office women were outside sitting at a picnic table eating their lunch.
They wholeheartedly disagreed with him & said the car was gorgeous & then proceeded to ask me if it had a V8 in it. And I'm like f*ck yeah it does! The ladies know! I asked the guy if he felt all dead inside driving his Hyundai after that..... One other time I was heading into the City near me with my girlfriend & 4 kids in a Cavalier do a joking Ricer flyby but they were obviously just having fun all grins & smiles and cheers. My GF says are you going to ignore that & believe me I tried but I dropped the hammer and blew past them which they loved! They just wanted to see & hear the Camaro go so I figured WTH why not. They cheered as I blew past & were chatting me up at the next stop light said they all loved the car. That was fun! Nice kids. |

Actually, my cool story is that I myself have resisted trading my 2010 for a much quicker Gen 6 because the Gen 5 looks so cool.

A few times I’ve come out of the grocery store or even once at church to find some one standing next to it admiring it. I usually hit the remote start just to watch them panic a little, before coming up and enjoying a conversation that usually involves a few questions. What year is it, what color is it, does it have a V8, a couple times I’ve been asked if it’s for sale. As long as they are keeping a little distance I don’t get too worried. It’s always locked, keys in my pocket. These cars seem to still get quite a bit of attention even though they are going on 10 years old.

After I got my car back from having a cam put in I was cruising around town enjoying it and seeing what she would do and everywhere I went I got looks from people and a bunch of thumbs up and waves. The color itself typically gets looks, but having the cam in it made people really notice.

I’m with you both, I know ABM is the sole reason mine gets the attention it does.

Anyway, lets see.. yeah I'm boring and never street race. Just get compliments nonstop driving anywhere. I like my L99, it'll pull 1.5 60' times and the mods are really just getting started.
