4th gens are pretty rare up here. I generally see more exotics then trans am's, so most people have no idea what my car is.
Generally "what is that" is the most common question.

I get the "is that a 350?" alot and "How come you didn't get a standard". After a while I gave up trying to explain things.

I also get asked a lot, "Has that thing got a 350?"

Next most common question. "What kind of car is it?" I reply, "It's a 2001 Camaro Z28" they reply, "Oh, is it the IROC?" *facepalm*

I forgot, I get asked that a lot too. "It's an auto? Awe..." Yeah I know, still fast enough for me.

I think the most popular question I get asked is if I want to trade cars.

But I don't get asked if its fast, its a Corvette, they already know its fast...LOL.

Guy I worked with says, "Bro you should put a Corvette motor in that thing"

Another kid I work with who drives a 2010 v6 mustang, "Wanna race?"

It's just frustrating answering questions from people who think they know about cars but really know absolutely nothing. I'm sure everyone agrees you basically have to dumb down your answers in order for people to understand what your talking about.
