Coming from a 4th gen camaro owner this is how is for me if you wave or give thumbs up....
4th gen and older fbodys, wave, thumbs up, talk ect.
1990 and older anything, wave, thumbs up, talk ect.
5th Gen Camaros, Ignore you, might run
Vetts, Ignore you, wont run
Mustangs, ignores you,usually wont run unless its a muffler only 2v
Rice, ignores you, usually not worth the time.
GTOs, ignores you, wont run
ect ect.

4th gens - give you the head nod of approval
90 & older - teenage kid with shades on or old guy cruising with the wife = nothing
5th gen camaro - usually a woman driving
Mustangs (GT500s) - some old douche with shades on with a tad scent of scumbag entitlement, only looks straight ahead
(cobras)- hardly see any
GTs- usually woman driving
fox bodys - beat up, will probably run
Rice - tries to look all vin diesel ish, will drift through a daycare center just to line up next to you, knowing theyll get dragged, will definately run
GTOs- cool as ****, will talk to you 99% of the time
soccer dads driving minivans on the highway - run you every time
young guy in a old import beater - tries to cut you off on the highway, challenge accepted
almost forgot vettes..
vettes- usually a older guy just cruising, regardless of generation, maybe run

not really, how many teenagers are you gonna see driving a fully restored 63' vette or a new ferrari etc.? Besides i think certain cars fit certain people and their personalities

I expected a little more out of the Goat, but it lost so. That race could honestly go either way. No shame in losing to that 5.0 imo.
Oh yea, almost forgot to come up with an excuse for the GTO losing...driver error?

I'll join in on this page of discussion as it is funny and too true... car drivers...
V1's... Get real happy to see you on the road, wave, maybe even divert their route to follow/catch up to you.
V2 drivers... Don't know what a V1 is. Won't look at you. Puts their shades on to avoid eye contact with anyone else, even if cloudy.
Old Mustang 5.0's... love their car but don't realize it's only a high 14s car. Will run you if they can.
The 4.6 Mustang group... Can't drive a stick. Bald tires, car is beat up, not that proud of it and don't even really like cars much.
The new 5.0 crowed... most are cool and will possibly give an LS car a run, but usually are shy and sit back in the seat to avoid too much eye contact.
STI/EVO crowd... fun guys will run most of the time if given the chance. Think their car is the fastest on the road cause of their Cobb stage 2 +40hp tune.
4th Gen Camaro guys... one of two things either older guy loves his car but no longer will rev it up past 2k rpms because he thinks its a collector car. Younger guys... beat them to **** have no clue my V is a ls2 won't run.
Rice... most get real intimidated if they hear an LS car. Won't run at that point. If they like your car they will drive crazy as **** if they know you won't be able to catch up or make eye contact with them later to wonder WTF they were doing.
M3... looking for another M3 owner to shoot the **** with and compare European accessories on their cars
AMG... older guy or lady. Has never been over 65 in their car. Likes to park it and wait for compliments on it from their friends.
Vettes... will not initiate a conversation with a non-vette owner but are generally good guys when spoken to. Other half of them ladies just got their hair done feeling fresh. 4sp autos.

the absolute worst vette owner/scenario... is this... and i know most will agree..
C5 convertible, automatic, chrome wheels, spoiler, chrome tail light trim, lame vanity plate.... with a rich old man driving. They are the absolute worst because there cars are hideous, they trap less then 105mph, and they think their **** doesnt stink. Ive tried acknowledging them at times to be nice... but im always given that same look...you know the "pssh" face... yea **** that lol

My mom had two Vettes, and she was always waving to other Corvette drivers. But she is actually a car person (her last one was the '01 Z51/6spd in my sig). When I had a car that garnered any sort of attention, I would nod or wave at any Mustang/F-body/Corvette/wtf ever.
