Recently moved to the Tampa/St Pete area and there are tons of 5th Gens out here. Not getting to many looks. When I first got the car in Kansas City I would get tons of stares, but there aren't as many up there. When I drop the kids off at school get tons of reactions from the kids. Fun times!!

I think I see as many 5th gens/challengers as I do F150's and Silverados. Starting to see a few Tesla S types...wow that are badass for what they are.

No, being good looking is my cross to bear. Or, are you talking about the camaro?

Like the Camaro, the C7 got looks at first but now they're popping up everywhere. Buddy and I went to a cruise and parked side by side. His Solstice Coupe drew tons of attention and lots of questions. My C7 was completely ignored parked next to that. Lol. That was before he got the crunched front end fixed and the vinyl stripe replaced with paint. Rare car vs dime a dozen. Rare will win every time as it should

Team Solstice! Anyone remember that show Bullrun with host Bill Goldburg?

You get used to it pretty quick.

Where I live I get starred down for driving my show car both by the general public, the cops and the youngsters that think they are in Fast and the Furious haha.

The most stares i've gotten was in a school parking lot. I was jump starting one of the student's car and everyone gathered like hungry children

(Notice the group of guys in the back staring)

I had 2 occurrences within the same hour. I was headed to Hobby Lobby and the weather was so beautiful, I had to roll down my windows. Anyway, the passenger of the car to my left asked me if my car was a Camaro (duh, it's written on the side) so I replied with yes. The gentleman proceeds to tell me how nice of a car it is and how that it's his dream car. On my way back home, I was first at the light and to my right, the gentleman pulls up. I look over and we smile at each other. The man asked me if my car is as fast as it looks. So I replied with yes it is. And then he told me that I have really nice car. This made my day.

I had a guy holler at me from the next lane at a red light last week asking if my Camaro was custom, it's ABM.
Told him no, everything you see is stock for now. Told me its a beautiful color then the light turned green.

Getting stared at in a Camaro?

You must live in a dirt poor area where everyone drives beaters.

In order to get stared at I would have to drive a Viper or an Italian exotic car...ie Lamborghini, Ferrari or something along those lines. Some classic cars will get looks too.
