Of course we can tell... We're car people. Most people don't care or know the difference they just love a cool looking car.

Yep at times it can be annoying, no doubt. There's days I love bs'ing about cars for hours... But when I'm just trying to pump gas or sitting at a stoplight, I'd rather not.

Ha ha. Yeah sometimes I have to pump quick and act snobby. It kinda gets a little annoying after a while. I was pumping gas one time and this guy sped up to the pump next to me and cut a car off in the process to talk to me about his car too. It was a rust bucket gen 4 with a cracked front bumper, once black paint now faded and peeling! Even though it was an SS he had nothing even on my door handle! He talked about how his was all crappy and I just washed mine the same day. He made a joke about how shitty and old it is. I said something like.."I'm sure mine will be the same in a couple years too!" I so totally called his a shit bucket! I felt like an ass but laughed afterward because if he was really an enthusiast he would keep it showroom new.

I've had neighbors slow down at dusk when it's backed in the driveway and the halos are on. Cops stopped by me when I was parked and complimented me. I've been behind busses and see kids with their hands pressed up against the window. Heads up to the window and waving. One boy took his mom's I pad and took a video of me backing out of a parking spot. He was yelling...The Bumblebee, The... The Bumblebee! I was looking for a yellow camaro myself when he said this but none around. It was me, but hell the only yellow thing on my car are the brakes!

I will agree the IOM would draw color questions lol.. Mines black so It's nothing exciting. Obviously I think it's a great looking car with a bad ass engine. I would give you a thumbs up because your a modded SS I like attention from other bad ass cars that's when the fun begins.

I think we get more comments about the IO interior than the paint color... everyone assumes its custom since most cars have bland earth tone interiors these days. Definitely one of our favorite things about the car also.

I'm in Ohio driving a black Camaro. Today I had to stop at a few stores. I left right after the evening rush (around 6pm). The loop I made is about 6 miles total and I took about an hour total to do everything I had to.

I saw three other black Camaros, two yellows and an imperial blue. (and not a single one waved so now I have to sell mine! )

They were definitely head turners for the first year or two. Maybe into 2012 even. I think based on the look people thought they were more than they really are. Then as they became familiar and realized it's a totally affordable vehicle, more jumped on. Add to that the fact that we're 5 model years in and the used market has enabed a lot of people to jump in as well - I still see more and more 10-13's than 14's popping up in the area. That's not a slam on the 14's, but indication that more people are buying used.

I'm more suprised to see a 3rd or 4th gen than a 5th gen anymore.

I'm amazed that there's still pockets of America that the 5th gen turns heads like it did in 2010/2011.

I'd love to come visit sometime.
I also think it depends on where someone lives. Over here in Omaha I rarely see them. However, I think that has to do with the high cost to register new vehicles and the fact that its snows through the winter. Most sporty cars I see around here are Challengers and Mustangs.

I get complemented on my car all the time. I just had this beautiful blonde the other day ask if she can go for a ride. Had to tell her that I didn't think my wife would appreciate that lol.

^^^^^This! I totally agree. I love the attention my car gets. I do agree, it can be annoying at times. But nonetheless, I will always love it. You should expect to get the attention driving these cars. They are unique. You don't see Civics and mini vans getting all the attention...
