I have been to tons of car shows, and I completely agree with the OP.

By far the lamest people I have ever met own 5th Gens. (Some really cool people as well, don't get me wrong.) There are people in these forums who basically have painted engine covers and stick on Pep Boys stuff and they post pictures of all the car shows they have gotten trophies at.

Also, like has been said, I think this car attracts a lot of first time muscle car buyers. This is a good thing and a curse. It helps promote a new generation, but then it also leads to some pretty stupid questions and also beliefs. (I even saw a thread about someone painting the underside of their car as a mod because it makes the car smoother or more aerodynamic or something. Seriously?!)

The 5th Gen Camaro is a cool car, but it's not Baby Dinosaur Kicking Jesus returned to earth, it's a car. They have probably made more than 400,000 by now. You are not special, you are not in the automotive elite. You are a member of a community and you really only have to objectively look around at many forums to see that the 5th Gen Camaro really does get a lot of flak.

I love my car, but I am honestly embarrassed to assemble in public with some of these people. I actually just bought a 70 Chevelle so that I can feel like a legitimate car guy again.
