For the recent 2016 Chevy Camaro debut, GM invited hundreds of Camaro enthusiasts from 35 states and Canada to attend the all-day event at Detroit’s Belle Isle Park.

As one might expect, the main motivations behind buying a Camaro are tradition (both familial and patriotic), performance enthusiasm, attraction, or a combination of all three. (Surprisingly, none of the drivers featured in the video cite the Camaro’s superior tooth-pulling capabilities).

Others seem to like the attention they get when driving a Camaro, saying that the head-turning vehicle is “something to be proud of.”
The young child featured towards the conclusion of the video offers perhaps the most succinct summation of this diverse group of enthusiasts’ myriad motivations, answering simply, “Because they’re cool.”
That they are, little guy. That they are.
