I usually try but mostly get shut down..........very rarely do I get a response or even noticed by the other car/driver.

I try to do the "nod" when I see another Trans Am. If they don't give it back, I'll push the clutch in and give it a little rev. That'll get them to look.

For some reason I hate vettes... around here all the midlife crisis guys are buying vettes and dont even take care of them. I tend to provoke them when I see, most of them arent even modded w/ crummy drivers.

I usually give a small wave. I've gotten responses from a few Camaro SS and TA's.

Theres two guys around here that I wave to, but don't know. One with a vert SS and one with a black WS6. They wave back. Others I wave to or give the nod and they usually look at me like they saw Elvis. One douche in a LT1 T/A with dumped exhaust likes to rev his engine and bounce off the limiter any time he sees me, reguardless of the speed we are traveling at. He'll just dump it into neutral and mash the pedal.

I swear I've seen a member here that has a 25th T/A here in town (brynda i think is her user name) but haven't ever gotten a wave or nod from her.

I sometimes do. Especially if it's another white T/A. And yeah, most don't wave/nod back.

corvettes, Bikers, and truck drivers.

Theres a couple of local 4th gen.T/A's that wave, a few that rev as to say mines better( its the same ******* car dude) and a few 3rd gen birds and irocs that wave.

I drive a ramp truck at work and every time I pass another ramper I either get a wave or they flash the lights.

Wave? Naw, I am too cool for that... LOL


Actually I only wave if someone waves to me and then I return it if I have the time.

I wave. If it's at a light most people wave back. Sometimes when they just drive by though they don't notice, or ignore me.

Jeep wranglers also have a wave. I was actually wondering if I was suppose to wave to fellow bird owners or not, I'll try waving at traffic lights since I don't want to disturb people driving. Also Lethal_Ws6, have you driven to Elk Grove before. Could've sworn I saw a TA just like yours a few weeks ago.

Well since I dont have an fbody, I usually follow a bird a car length behind and admire its beauty. Whenever I try to get next them they think im trying to race and smoke my ***. Theres only so much a 92 Corsica can do
