Default Do you wave to Camaros?

I was driving my C7 around town and for the first time a Camaro waved to me. It was a ZL1. Of course I waved back.

In the Seattle area we have...I’d say a 85% wave rate. Most Corvette owners (if they notice) will wave. But that was my first Camaro wave ever.

Do you wave to Camaros?

I wave back to anyone I get a Thumbs Up from. Common courtesy.

I have both a Camaro and Corvette and only wave to other vettes in the Vette. I have owned Camaros for 25 years and have been waved at by other Camaro owners twice . I think it's a Corvette,Jeep, motorcycle thing.

Waving is a Vette and Jeep Wrangler thing, we own both (as well as a Ford RV for the trifecta in more than one way as waving is prevalent in RV community as well)

Does waving to them in my rear view mirror count? I wave to people who wave to me as a courtesy

No more than I’d wave to a Mustang or Challenger.

No. Around here they're too busy trying to race vettes.

Back in the '60s (and before) all real sports cars waved at one another....

It's also a Subaru thing too, as my son says he gets waves all the time from other Subaru drivers (he has an 02 WRX)

I will wave to anybody that waves at me, but it's not often that non Corvettes do wave. I have often mistakenly waved to Viper owners, thinking it was a C6 (did that the other morning, I must have been half asleep still)
