Sold my last one at 41 and bought this one at 52. I’ll keep it for as long as I’m physically able to get in and out if it.

I set a record for 5th Gens in a Standing Mile at 225.8 mph, and was well over 50 then.....

will be 51 in August. The ZL1 is my 3rd Camaro. Agreed on most that i see driving in Camaros are older people (guys mostly) "young" guys generally cant afford the cost of the car, then the insurance on it. It is not my daily driver, i only drive it on sunny days where if i am going to park it somewhere, I can keep my on it

A few years ago there was some links on here about a guy who was I believe 102 and had a yellow 5th gen SS
But here's probably the oldest and longest thread about the subject

I was under 50 when I bought it, but I'm 61 now. I hope to drive it until I die. Went too many years driving family cars (Buick LeSabre, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Sable...) when they decided to build the 5th gens, I was all-in.
Mid-life crisis, my ass, this is a mid-life celebration!
