Its the Batmobile!
Its the Batmobile! Last night i was leaving my neighborhood and stopped at a stop sign. Three kids were walking down the sidewalk and one of them said "Hey, look its the batmobile" and at this point im smiling and chuckling. Then, i start to drive away from the stop sign and one of them yells "Nice car!". Needless to say it made me very proud of my T/A. Its fully stock and im still getting compliments 
. My bro has sunk a couple grand into his 02 GT and i've never once seen him get a compliment and his car is bright red.(my color doesnt exactly stand out) I know i've read about some of your guys experiences like this with kids admiring your car post them up

Its funny because i can clearly see a Black Ws6 as looking like the batmobile but my car is BGC and not even Ram Air. But like i said i thought it was great i love the unique look of my car and cant imagine driving anything else
mcG-you're right every couple feet I see a stang although none are quite as loud as my bros
SIC FUQR- thats some funny stuff but unfortunately for me there arent many other fbodies running around near me
Silver02TA- thats awesome you found one of the few cool cops

Its weird I received very few comments on my old 3rd gen formula even after lots of work, but ever since I got my new formula its been getting compliments even while being dirty and/or completely stock. I've probably gotten 10 times as many compliments in the 9 months I've had this one compared to the 3 years I had my 90 People aren't as familiar with these cars as say a GT or 3rd gen and I say thats part of the reason. A lot of the times I have to answer what my car even is and it is usually followed with something positive.

My car stays in the shed most of the time. I don't get to drive it as much as I would like to. Awhile back my two neighbors told me that everytime the hear me fire it up they come out side just to watch me drive down the road.

Haha thats funny that you say that, everyone calls my car the batmobile, so last year I got this really cool Batman Costume (it was the dark knight style) and drove my car around and went to hang with my friends and I got a real kick out of it because they didnt know who I was. It was hilarious I scared the crap out of them
Captainofiron that is great 
, i was thinking about how crazy that would be if I were to wear the costume while driving with the t-tops off. People would give me the craziest looks. It would be a lot of fun pulling up next to Batman at a stoplight at least i think

Except one kid...he called it a vette and his mom "corrected" him and told him it looked like the batmobile. Pretty funny actually.
My car gets called the batmobile about 4 times a week. Maybe its because its black?

Well i dont have a story about a compliment, but i do have one about a kid i accidentally made cry.
I was going to the local qui9znos one day in my previous car (cammed NBM 98 Z28 with a bullet dumb/turndown). They have these ridiculous speed bumps in this parking lot, and my car was lowered. So i go at this speed bump on an angle, stop right before it, and go over it slowly, having to rev it a bit to get over it without scraping the longtubes.
So anyway after i get over it, i hear this lady hugging her crying child about 20 feet behind me screaming "YOUR TRANS AM SCARED HIM". I didnt know what to do other than hold my hand up in a "wtf did i do" wave, and parked, ignoring the fact the idiot lady calle dmy camaro a trans am.
So i go into quiznos, and turns out this lady and her maybe 10 yera old kid were 3 or 4 people in front of me in the line. I hear her proceed to tell the guy who puts the lettuce on your sub at the end of the line that a "jerk in one of those trans ams revved his motor at my son".
I get kind of annoyed at this point and walk up to this lady. I proceed to tell her "lady, first off, its a camaro. secondly, i didnt rev at your kid, i my car is loud, and i was going over a speed bump. third, if youre ten year old child is STILL afraid of loud noises sometimes caused by automobiles, you have alot more to worry about than whether or not you want lettuc eon youir sandwich".
At that poitn i was kind of heated (i dont know why really) so i walked out and went next door to the backyard burger.
Some of my friends find that story entertaining, thought id share.
