What is with 5th gen owners?
Ok I know a couple 5th gen guys that are cool, but recently the ones I run into on the freeway are tool bags. I have actually raced a couple on the freeway (those of who know me might be shocked that I actually raced and went faster than the speed limit). The last one was the worst, it was an RS and the guy came up on me (I was in the number 3 lane on the 60) and looked at my car then slowed down then sped up like he was trying to get a race, and kept looking at me like he was the ****. I was like fine douche go for it, he went, I went and beat him pretty badly. He came up along side my car and gave me a thumbs down then tried to cut me off, I moved around him he tried to race again (sped up slowed down, sped up slowed down) I beat him again and after that race he gave me another thumbs down then took off.
Another race was an SS and that one was closer like I would expect it to be and that guy gave a thumbs down... am I missing something?

cocky ******, never a rs only the ss .....i would roll and beat them. "As youre still paying on your ride, be careful not to break anything." haha
until i got owned by a GXP thing was wicked fast
careful man the 60 is the most ticketed freeway for speedtraps in CA
Im all for the domestic cars and that stuff the thing that pisses me off the most is when the ricers with fart cans try and pull up for a run....then you just laugh, roll up the window, and turn on the a/c

i know what you mean. as i was pulling out onto the street, i had a female owner honk the horn & flip me off...
...i thought to myself, if she had the time to do all that, she had plenty of time to hit the brakes. believe me, she was a long way off too...no way there would have been any impact.

I think that most of the 5th Gen Owners dont even know that the new Camaro is a continued generation of the F-body. Most get it to compete with the Dodge chargers and Challengers.
I raced an RS, beat it with ease then he shock his head, and sped off. Douchebag

The new Camaro is made for the "common people" like how the mustang has always been. This means that non-car enthusiasts are now buying camaros. A real car enthusiast would take a loss in stride rather than most so-cal driving idiots out there get pissed if they loose.

Lots of ingnorant 5th gen owners look down on us 4th gen owners because our Cars are 10 years + old. Just like a lot of 4th gen Ls owners looked down on LT1's. I think it's these magazines that get people pumped up into thinking 425hp would murder a 325hp car but forgot about the weight issue. And the RS owners think 304 hp is good enough to stay with a 305 HP ls1 Z28

majority of them are douches, just like majority of vette owners!

BUT NOTHING BETTER then blowing doors off when they have their girl in the car lol

Yeah, although I may not like that more douchebags are in the new Camaros now than in the past, these buyers will keep the Camaro alive. Not only these people, but all the other people that at some point didn't even consider a Camaro in the general population. This new Camaro was made to attract more people than just enthusiasts. This is what worked with Mustang and kept it from taking a hiatus unlike the Camaro.
Knowing all that, I still hate these douchebags that think their car is the ****, and then can't take a loss in stride. How in the hell do you get a thumbs down after you beat them?? Sore losers.

its was lowered yes but was white on 10 freeway
It will always be like that though. I myself looked down and lt1s ( and i still have one) and esp the 3rd gens ...but still camaro>mustang nontheless IMO
thats also another thing I hate people saying, "My car has 425hp", these 5th gens and the srts that have been out are all heavy pigs, yeah they look cool with 32.5" rims but come on....then you ask them hmmmmm what's your hp to the tire? no clue

Hahahaha wow, completely agree with all of this..the majority of the 5th gen owners have no idea of the heritage and most are just the v6 or RS models, owned by gigantic tools. They also have no idea, like you guys said, of the weight these things have on them and think that just because it has some ponies under the hood (not at the wheels, another topic they don't understand) that they can beat anything else out there

I always get 5th gen Camaros trying to speed up and catch me on the fwy or trying to race. This is funny because last night a black SS was in the fast lane coming up quick, i was in the right lane next to him. I was driving chill, 75mph. I thought he was gonna pass me but when he heard my car he slowed down and just stayed next to me. I could see his bumper from the corner of my eye. Then he fell back, got behind me and a few miles later took another fwy. I was like, "ahh poor baby got scared." Maybe someone else taught him a lesson before. Lol.
