After reading the responses here, I think all of it becomes magnified because of the car and also because my driving experience will be 6 years in November.

This isn't really a "Camaro" problem. There are just so many people out there that just really don't care about anything other than their own little world. Sure, there are those that see a "sports car" and either want to race, or act upon some sterotypical perception, but typically it's really just a case of really bad, really egocentric drivers, and has nothing to do with you.
I was blessed with a great driver's ed teacher in high school, along with a father that did a lot of driving in his job. Both taught me valuable things about defensive driving. I still never forget the most profound thing my driver's ed teacher said, "Always assume that someone around you is about to do something really stupid, and know what you will do when they do." It's amazing how thinking this when I drive has led me to have this 'sixth sense' about what people are going to do. It has allowed me to avoid red light runners, when I just 'knew' that guy was going to run it. To avoid side swipes because I just 'knew' that guy was going to cut in my lane, etc.
