The color. Then they ask me if its a 2005 or a 2006 cause it looks so clean and brand new Then they say, "must get terrible gas mileage, what does it get on the hwy, like 9 miles per gallon?" Try 30mpg smart ***

The first thing they notice is that it's not a WS6, and then how clean it is. For some reason they think the WS6 will slaughter me.

How loud it was because of the open cutout or how wide the rear tires are. In the future though it will be because of how loud the duals are, I cant wait to get them on!

They know I have the corvette motor. All of the girls get wet.

In all reality - everyone wonders why my car is about to die every time I start it. How a cam works is hard to explain to the average dumbass at a parts store.

First thing people notice is probably my black C5 Z06 rims with a polished lip. It looks great on my car since I have the whole black/silver theme goin on, but I really wish I had a different color though. Something that stands out more...like sunset metallic orange or something silver is so boring haha. Second thing is probably my exhaust...but only when I get on it. She just purrs quietly at idle

Possibly the fact that they can hear me a half a mile away if the cut outs are open
Or the fact that my puny little car sounds meaner and louder than their straight piped truck

Either the hood, or they ask is it street legal

Then they want to know about the yellow paint and the decals on the car. Most have never saw a Collector Edition TA

Thats funny, I really wanted silver, lol. Always wanted a silver camaro since the IROC camaros came out in 87. Silver was #1, or NBM, white, or black wouldve been ok. Got a black one, I like it.
