In my neck of the woods it's the SUV's and Mini drivers that act like asshats on the road around anything American muscle. I have seen a ton of challengers lately I think they dumped an inventory special off all over the U.S.

2- Whale effect

Well, I call it the whale effect. Seen how whales sail together?
( Remember this scene in the Cast Away movie when in the middle of the sea and darkness of night this whale comes out of water and just looks at Tom Hanks and then sails away?)

I see other 6th gens pull behind or beside me and pause, kinda like looking at the outside of their cars from the inside.

Well, half serious....half for fun... what other effects can you add driving a 6th Gen?
I don't get that at all I get people to start driving slower ...gawking , but I'm in Illinois and I'm convinced we have the worst drivers

I seriously think the Accord, Camary, etc drivers are really just interested in seeing how fast our cars are. Its a dumbass move for them to tailgate but when they do this to me, they get exactly what they want-a full throttle launch off their front bumper.

Respect goes both ways though. I respect other cars in this class, like GTs, R/Ts, other camaros and corvettes. It seems mutual. I saw a masarati on the road today who seems clueless but we were just driving in light traffic. People stop me all the time to tell me how much they love my car and today was no exception.

I feel a lack of respect from 5th gen owners but I haven't decided if that's just me with a false sense of superiority or what. It's probably me and I need to adjust my attitude.

It's not you there's a poll going on at Gen 5 right now 6th gen Camaros ranked pretty low I think the only thing lower is the 4th gen according to what they like to each their own I love the 4th gen

I tell everyone, "my wife wouldn't let me have a girlfriend, so I got a Camaro. Now she tells me I spend too much money on her and too much time with her".

Yes you do. And as a 5th gen owner I still get tons of comments on my car. Even with the 6th gen out i still get "nice Camaro" Ive read on here how some 6th gen guys have been asked what car is it or is that a Camaro? Never has that happened in my 5th gen. Just like the 5th gen forums here on gen 6 the really big fans are on here. Outsiders dont really care about our cars. We tend to have our opinions on what others think about the Camaro. In reality nobody else really cares.

I see Jeeps in the hammer lane all the time. Calm down, that car can barely do 90.

Guys, I've owned some cool cars over the past 10 years and I truly enjoy driving the SS as much as any of them. It's just a damn good and fun car. Do yourself a favor and honestly don't lust after most more expensive cars as there is a very good chance it isn't as fun as the Camaro. Seriously. Save your money and just have fun. Burn money on gas and tires.

The Miami area is loaded with Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs, Corvettes and Camaros, they're EVERYWHERE. I love my 1LE, there aren't many of them around
