[sweetbmxrider]

4th gen maroon camaro with a black taillight filler panel and chrome camaro letters. ttops i think. might have been an ls1, i was to shocked at the initial wave to see. sounded good, maybe magnaflows? on beaver dam bridge in brick. i don't think its anyone on here but maybe....:wavey: cuz mine was kinda a quick :headbang:

[Slo86Bird]

yeh! i got one like 3 weeks about but most guys dont wave! wtf!

[madness410]

hahah i have to start waving..it gives a real good sense of community. when i take my bro's lt4 vette out for a spin every corvette waves at you...

[deadtrend1]

Waves are usually only done by Jeep Wrangle/CJ owners ..... and motorcyclists.

[1QWIKBIRD]

Waves on anything other than a harley davidson/custom/chopper or kick @ss crotch rocket are :supergay:

They are the only ones (harley guys really, but I'll give some latitiude to other riders) I ever remember see giving the wave for the longest time.


Then vette guys started doing it....now f-body guys? Heck, I had a guy in a Cummins Powered Dodge give me the wave when I was rolling down the road in my CTD? Its one thing if you stopped at a light or getting gas or at WaWa, but on the road leave the wave to the bikers......its theirs

I've been waving since 2004 with my car. If someone else enjoys an F-body just like I do, I like to give a peace sign or wave outthe window, but Slo86, your right, more then half never wave back, but i dont care, when they do, it does give a sense of a community :D

[Rich189]

I dont wave unless the other car has something noticable aftermarket on it so i know they actually enjoy the car and dont just dd and thats only if i see them with enough time to wave.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah i was stopped at a light and it was on a bridge so we were like right next to each other. i usually don't wave but i threw a quicky back. it was cool cuz i did feel the "community". wasn't all like ricer f u ya know

[nj96z28]

got a wave and a burnout out of a whire 3rd gen vert in rock hill, ny yesterday. the fact that he almost crashed the car while doing the burnout made it much more satisfying :)

[r0nin89]

Alot of people in other lifted trucks wave at me... Guys in jeeps always wave at each other. WHen we go out in my dads vette EVERYONE else in a vette waves.

[jims69camaro]

when i am in my camaro, the world waves. everything from '32 fords to '55 chevies to '70 amx to, yep, you guessed it, other camaro owners. firebird owners don't wave, they just hang their heads in shame that they didn't get a camaro instead. :headbang:

[Tru2Chevy]

More like CJ / YJ / TJ and some modded XJ owners wave. Too many made-for-the-street Jeeps on the road these days (no offense Steve!). I get a few locals that will wave back to me, but most either ignore it or give me strange looks.

[jims69camaro]

kind of like i get in the KJ... 'course, if i get it built up the way i want it, i'll be able to hit the hills with those CJ/TJ/YJs. all i lack is money.

[NastyEllEssWon]

im more of a thumbs up kinda guy, but every fbody or badass car i see gets one

[ar0ck]

If I'm in the Z and the car is reasonably close I'll throw a quick rev especially if my windows are up. When I'm on the bike I'll do the low wave, or fingers up.

[madness410]

I dont wave unless the other car has something noticable aftermarket on it so i know they actually enjoy the car and dont just dd and thats only if i see them with enough time to wave.

oh haha i thought that was a given...im not going to wave to sally the blonde teeny bopper in a 6cyl drop top camaro who knows nothing about her car except the color...hahah duh

[sweetbmxrider]

oh haha i thought that was a given...im not going to wave to sally the blonde teeny bopper in a 6cyl drop top camaro who knows nothing about her car except the color...hahah duh

i wave EVERYTIME haha. yeah i like to give a smug look to all the mustang guys that rubberneck me. and i like beating c5 vettes that think they are better than me....driver mod woulda helped him ALOT

firebird owners don't wave, they just hang their heads in shame that they didn't get a camaro instead.Jim, you've mixed up shame and superiority. Here is how you can tell them apart. Firebird = Flagship = Superior. Camaro = lesser sibling or, red headed stepsister = Shame.:nod: :mrgreen:

[Blacdout96]

Jim, you've mixed up shame and superiority. Here is how you can tell them apart. Firebird = Flagship = Superior. Camaro = lesser sibling or, red headed stepsister = Shame.:nod: :mrgreen:

Then if the Firebird is supposed to be the superior one, how come the Camaro's coming back and the firebird model is nowhere in Pontiacs sights? ;)

[Featherburner]

Then if the Firebird is supposed to be the superior one, how come the Camaro's coming back and the firebird model is nowhere in Pontiacs sights? ;)Well, I was joking but, I didn't make up the part about the Firebird being the flagship of the GM f-body, it's a fact. If you do some poking around I'm sure you'll dig that info up. As for the Firebird being nowhere in Pontiac's sights; Pontiac saw what GM was building for the new f-body and was ashamed to put their name on it. :rofl:

Hehehe, none taken XJ brother! To me, as long as a Jeep isn't lowered on 13" Daytons it's OK in my book. I have solace in the fact that my Jeep is really more street-oriented, and not :rice:. Of course, when Jeep guys see my Jeep, they usually have this :huh: look on their face.

[CJDZ24_Z28]

95% of C5/C6 CORVETTE OWNERS WAVE!! Thats another reason I love driving my Vette!

[NastyEllEssWon]

i kinda laugh at the civics that ride by...the vette drivers are usually old guys so i dont bother with em...and its true the firebird is the top model of the fbody crowd beings that the firebird has always been more FLASHIER and the camaro was more UNDERSTATED.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

last year I got a wave from a guy in a black LS1 camaro on Rt.206 in flanders, funny story I had my t-tops off and went to wave my right hand and ended up punching the T bar I never got to wave back. :lol:

[01SS]

Funny I should find this thread, just yesterday A guy in a 4th gen looked pewter with the single stripe in center and ground effects waved to me while cruising 47 in Glassboro. i felt like an ass cuz I was to busy eying the car and didnt notice the wave till it was to late. Upset me because I have been trying to keep the wave going and waving to all the camaro's. I don't believe it should just be left to the Harley Riders. When I was on my Harley I would wave to all riders as a sign of respect to all those who share the love of the hobby. So when I am in my Camaro I feel that even if it is someone who doesnt have all sorts of mods done, they still chose the camaro and I want to let them know they made the right choice. The girl who doesnt know squat about her car still is cruising in the camaro and not a mustang so good for her and let her know it - throw the wave. My car is a DD and I have slight mods and feel it is not necessary to start dumping tons of money into it to make it a racer(i have my 87cutlass to do that to) yet it is my 3rd Camaro so far, so you never quite know just how much of a fanatic that person is so - throw them a wave!!!

[Jersyboyy]

I give the peace sign or a rev if I see someone with a modified fbody. I also live to rev up next to all the "MY CARS FAST" guido guys driving stock mustangs or stock civic si's.

[jims69camaro]

bah, the fireturd was a waste of time, that's why they dropped it and it won't return. :mrgreen:

i dig all performance cars, so they can all wave and get a wave back. doesn't even matter if it's a rustnag, 'cause he's just showing respect for a better car than what he's driving. funny how it all started with bikes back in the war to end all wars, then on to corvettes, and later down to everyone else (including firebirds). i think it's a show of respect and comradery to wave, so i do it all of the time. my arm is usually hanging out the window, with my hand just below the side-view-mirror, so to flip it up into a wave above the mirror takes zero effort.

heh, a guy driving a trash truck gave me the thumbs up the other day, and he got a wave.

oh, yeah, and all you 4th geners, know that we cannot see through your windshield, so having your hand on the steering wheel and turning that into a wave means that no one will see it. stick your hand out the window...

[BigAls87Z28]

Firebird is the top model because its flashier?
Firebird was a sports coupe pony car in a line up of other sporty sedans and coupes.
Nothing makes the Firebird more superior to the Camaro and vise versa.

Jim, you've mixed up shame and superiority. Here is how you can tell them apart. Firebird = Flagship = Superior. Camaro = lesser sibling or, red headed stepsister = Shame.:nod: :mrgreen:

Lesser sibling?
I dont understand the downplay that the Camaro gets from the Firebird Community and Vise Versa.
Again...the downfall of the Two-Car vs One Car set up and the reason why Firebird wont return. Its bad enough there is inner-car superiority between the Camaro gens....
Its also why Mustang will always outsell the Camaro.

[Slo86Bird]

black 4th gen firebird on 565 at like 5pm today...thanks for makin me feel like an a$$! lol. the one time i dont wave someone waves to me like WTF! but i got mine in like 50 feet after u passed haha. (that is if ur on here and are reading this)

Its alright i didnt take it personal hah, plus i knew exactly who it was because of the flames. Shes Dark Shadow Gray BTW and yea the ss scoop is Black sorta like a stripe. I figured u waved in the car and i just couldnt see it because ot was sunny out

I wave at every Fbody - even got a wave back from a guy on the other side of rt42 going towards the blackhorse pike while I was headed north to go over the WW bridge, we were both in the center lanes with minimal traffic. I got a kick out of that. It was a black WS6

Ditto...I wave to stangs, corvettes, any older car, etc. Not many return the wave though :cry: And I know they can see me because whenever I'm out in the Camaro it's topless and windowless...so i stick my arm out past the car.

[Blacdout96]

I hate when Im in my other vehicle, and I see tons of F-bodies out, and I wanna wave, but they would think im wierd, but when Im in the Camaro, theres none to be seen, and when there is and I wave, I do it in enough time for them to wave back, but alas, some do, some dont.

[Tru2Chevy]

When I see an F-Body or other nice classic/muscle car out on the road while driving my Jeep, I give a thumbs up rather than a wave.

- Justin

[DocEwww]

I have to admit, I usually only wave to a 4th gen WS6 or SS car anymore, unless of course the person waved first. They're just more likely to wave back and not give me a weird look.

[Savage_Messiah]

If I feel compelled to communicate "nice car", I do it with a head nod and/or thumbs up

[WildBillyT]

Well, I was joking but, I didn't make up the part about the Firebird being the flagship of the GM f-body, it's a fact. If you do some poking around I'm sure you'll dig that info up.

Is that a Pontiac motor in your bird, John? :lol:
