Only a dolt, jock, or fraternity brat brags about driving a car which is the most popular and has the most on the road.

On the other hand, the performance stats make it clear that these cars perform incredibly. Erik

Nothing wrong with that as some of those guys will stay on a Camaro enthusiasts. We all started somewhere somehow someway.
2) 95% who purchase the ZL1 or ZR1 will never take it to the track. (Probably wouldn't even leave the garage)
3. For the 2% who do take it on a track, it will be a Drag strip and not a Road track. Depends where you live. Of the 5 people I know who will be getting a ZL1, including me, will use it in a RoadCourse and use out GT500s for drag strip use.4. Only fan boys care more about car sales than performance. I couldn't agree more.
5. I wish I could afford a ZR1.
Maybe not now. [/QUOTE]

Yeah you are right that some may have bought one because of Transformers BUT the majority are due to people liking the Camaro in the first place and just straight up liking the design of the car. Also another thing for people to think about is that Michael Bay said this year that he is making a 4th Transformers movie and its probably a safe bet that the new 6th Gen Camaro will be the new Bumblebee in that movie as it is slated to be released in 2014 a great way to introduce the new Camaro. That will create even more fans and sales for the 6th Gen Camaro.
