Doubtful.
Our Friday night cruise can draw a couple thousand cars. I've seen 5th gens taking up 2 spaces and the owners blocking the spots on either side with chairs. In the mean time you'll see Lambourghinis, Ferraris, Lotus, Porsche, ZR1 Corvettes all taking up one spot and placing their chairs behind the car out of the way. Yes, they had to tell the 5th gen owners to move it. They announce it over the PA all night too.
It's unfortunate that the OP lives in an area where the camaro folks aren't up to his standard. I know the vegas crew has about 15-20 camaros that show up every saturday to a car show called "cars & coffee", and there is not one owner that does any kind of peeling out, or unnecessary revving...unless to show off a new mod that might affect their exhaust...then they may rev a little. We also don't let another persons car affect the way we feel about that person. We have people that put lambo doors on their car. Some people in our club don't care for that, but we don't dislike anyone for doing it. That's childish.
Burn outs, thumping stereos, general stupidity get more car cruises shut down than anything else. It's not just a 5th gen problem but I do see 5th gens doing it more than any other car
My advice, deal with your problems in person. don't bottle it up to the point where you have to create a thread about how disappointed you are in the 5th gen community. At least until you've handled your own personal feelings toward them. Who knows, maybe after you talk to a few of them, your views on the 5th gen camaro community might change a little. If not, then move to vegas and see what you think about our little group.

Lot of cool people on this forum but the arrogance reigns supreme here as well. The OP is just throwing it out there. You suggest handling it in person. Look at how many people in this thread say if you don't like it then sell your car. Look at how many other threads have people being told to get out and sell their car. Just mention another car and you have plenty people saying this is a Camaro Forum if you Want to mention another car then sell your Camaro and go buy that car. Look at how many people on here talk about someone getting anywhere near their car and want to go beat someone up and how many people tell them they should have. I'm doubting handling it in person by trying to express his feelings is going to go over well. The OP's next post would be from a hospital room.
