Default Its not an SS!!!

i am seriously getting tried of people coming up to me and asking if my car is an SS, and im not talking about people who havent seen the car, im talking about the ones who stand 3 feet from the front fender in broad daylight and ask if its an SS with a big Z28 badge stareing them in the face. and really what on my car makes it look like an SS?? the wheels, they have the standard bow-tie caps. and then you tell them its a Z28 and they get all depressed like its a worhtless piece of crap 4 cylinder camaro. im sorry but i personally like haveing a Z28 rather than a SS

sorry for the rant but people are annoying me lately

People are ignorant. They don't understand vehicles, speed, or life. Just ignore them and blow them away in your lowly Z28.

BTW, my 10 spokes had bow tie caps from the factory.

First person that gets sad when I tell them is a T/A and not a WS6, I'm kicking in the nuts.

I love my T/A....I will probably end up with the WS6 hood though

Hey if some wanna pay more its fine by me, the only thing I really wish was diff bout my Z was it be an M6, but I am happy with it and I laugh at people who look down at it cause its a Z28 not an SS or T/A. I am gettin an ss hood for the sole fact that the only other hood I like is the true Sunoco hood with stripe (the way it should be). But my car will proudly have the red bowties showin and the Z28's as they are now.

I went through this whole "it has to be an SS or im not buying" phase. First camaro i test drove was an M6 SLP SS, awesome car and i would of bought it if the jerkoff at the dealer didnt sell it then offer me somthing else......

Anyways, i decided i would give a Z28 a chance, so i test drove one, and needless to say, i bought it......why? because it threw me back into my seat thats why, and it demanded my respect..... Both "models" are badd ***. although I have no clue why somone would look down at a car with such a heritage as the Z28 , but then i remember, they probably havent driven one yet...........

Most ignorant car people hear the letters "SS" or the words "Ram Air" and automatically think faster than everything....

I bought my SS so I didnt have to deal with that

People say... is that an SS.. I say "why yes it is"

Then they... SS

So what they are idiots or uneducated. I'm glad I dont have to deal with the look of disappointment on their faces you Z guys get lol

Oh and I REALLY bought an SS b/c it already had the spoiler and hood. Those were just less things cosmetically that I would have had to change in the long run

I dont like the way the ss emblems look on the side of the car. Thats why I didnt get a SS. Seriously though, I like the overall look of the the SS but the emblems always made me think, pSSh, like the sound a prissy guy makes.j/k Dont kill me!
