Does your Firebird get s called Camaro sometimes?

[Mighty Thor]

My Firebirds gets called Camaro by mistake, I probably heard this 100 times now. It happens more to my 3rd gen. than to my 4th.

But yesterday, a guy called my 98 a Camaro. I told him it was a Firebird.

It's probably because Camaro is more popular than Firebird. Eventhough we are better looking ;)

I think there is a pretty clear difference between the two, but then again, I know more about them than my peers do as I own one.

However, while I don't get called a Camaro almost ever, I do get called a Trans Am a lot, even though I have a V6 Bird.

Yes happens all the time. I think that Camaro has a more recognizeable name in most peoples mind. I used to constantly correct some of my friends/co-workers multiple times. Now I just let it slide. I know what they mean.

Oh I'm sorry man, they should have kept the old headlights though.

Yes my car gets called a Camaro CONTINUALY! :mad:

I'm like "When was the last time you seen a Camaro with FRIGGIN POP UP HEADLIGHTS????"

"Well aint they the same car?"

"NO! If they were there would not be one or the other there would be only Camaro's or Firebird's not both!" [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img]

People make this mistake a lot. Hell, when I was younger and new to F-bodies I did too. Most people just think of Firebird and Trans Am as exchangeable, when they're not.

My car's been called a T/A sometimes, and the occasional person thinks it's a Formula.

I hate to say it, but from a distance, with slightly bad eyesight, camaro's occasionally look like Sebrings, but they look much better than them in real closeness ^_~

.................Uhm, I've had people call my Camaro a Firebird.. And one person call it a Corvette...

[Everglades W68]

That's one of the oldest Firebird lines around:

Q. How do you piss off a Firebird driver?
A. Call his car a Camaro.

[SuprSpdDB7]

i've only been called TRANS AMs
even by GM dealers... obviously they dont know their own product
but i guess with the body kit and dual exhaust its easy to make that mistake

[JusFlyinBy]

I dont think anyone has ever called my car a firebird. In every refrence, it has been mostly camaro, and then trans am. Occasionally "Batmobile" by flaky chicks.
