I always wave, almost never get one back. But that is o.k. I am going to keep waving.

I see a lot of V6's on the road, my girlfriend always informed me if they look or not.

I'll usually wave or give a thumbs up. No one ever does it back lol

I find the same, some Camaro owners don't nod/wave or even look at you when you wave or flash them. Yet when I'm in my wife's Challenger, almost all other challengers wave or nod no matter what trim level they have. I like that type of communication lol

Ditto. The Subaru wave it's an amazing thing, pity more enthusiasts don't do it..

Some are cool with that, others not so much I guess.

What do I do when I see a Camaro? I check it out... its wheels, its stance, its mods - at least what's on the exterior. I give them a good show hoping they do the same... but don't usually race them.

That's funny, almost every Vette owner I encounter waves or rolls down the window and we exchange a greeting. I can't say I've EVER had a Camaro return a wave, well over half the Camaros here are driven by women. I saw a 1LE at a stoplight a week ago (rare here, probably the only one) and tried to catch up to it, too much traffic though.

The jeep wave is likely the strongest of all automobile based salutations. An old high school friend of mine had a Wrangler, and never once did another passing wrangler miss out on a wave. 100% wave return.

Since mine isn't an SS that must be why I don't receive any waves? =P Naw, some around here do wave back.

I wave every time. But rarely get one in return. I think it may have to do with my car being the base model V6. I feel like SS owners look down on V6 Camaro's, like, "Oh that's only a V6, I'm not waving back..."

Someday I will get an SS though. Looking for a 2010 Aqua Blue SS, with the two tone Gray/Black interior.... My dream Camaro...lol.

I had a Vette before my Camaro, and Vette drivers always waved. So when I got my Camaro I thought it would be similar, boy was I wrong. I still wave and don't care what kind of Camaro it is, I see one, I wave. Boom...

Yeah, I usually check to see if it's an SS or not. The longer I've owned my car the more I've noticed that the SS isn't all the common and the SS/RS is rarer still. I don't recall seeing an SS/RS yet while I've been driving.
