Because, can you say it drives or handles better than a sporty M4 BMW, which is in the same price range? Mercedes AMG handles pretty nice too.
What I am getting at is this: Most of you bought it because it's American Muscle. Has the name, history, it's an Icon. In thread " How did you get into Camaros" you can find generations of Camaro owners. It's American.
What do you think most of Asians your age are driving? Chevys and Mustangs? I dont think so. I am sure many of you have watched MECUM auctions. ALL American muscle and almost nothing else, sold for the price of a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.
So I would say, most of us bought if for it's looks and it's name.
Here, I snipped a piece of a conversation from a BMW forum. Read what Habber has to say.
P.S- This is not about race. It's about heritage of a certain group of people that leads them to common choices. It can be cars, it can be type of sports (Football) or other things...

I certainly didn't buy mine for the looks. I thought it looked a little bit on the redneck side. Like, I'd have to grow a mullet to drive one.
BUT - I did a lot of research and found that in its price range it was hard to beat on the track. My goal was to find a reasonably priced car I could learn to "race" with. So that's why I bought one.
Since then, the looks have grown on me. Thankfully, the mullet hasn't.
