[edit] Trimming of the 'references in culture' section?

The 'Appearances in pop culture' section is getting pretty large, and seems to have some fairly dubious entries in there. Let's face it, when a car was produced for 35 years, and was an American icon for many of those years, it's going to be all over the place in 'pop culture' - should it be trimmed to some of the more significant entries?

This makes a lot of sense to me. Keep it to strictly very notable appearances if you ask me. Roguegeek (talk) 18:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any dissent, and after looking closer, some of the entries were even duplicates - something that's probably not hard to have happen when the list is as big and poorly-organized as it was. Ayocee 16:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

What about the movie Better Off Dead? I know it's a rather obscure movie, but the Camaro was pretty well known. Pretty much one of the main points of it. I guess you could mention that it appears to have power motors when John Cusack rolls the driver's side window down, you can visibly see the manual crank for the passenger window. It's a black 1967 Camaro, and if you haven't seen the movie, it's a "piece of junk" he bought that sat in his front yard covered, and only at the end was it's identity revealed. It even has its own website, betteroffdeadcamaro.com Zchris87v 14:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone thinks the camaro "found" its way into Transformers? It was a PAID product placement! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.210.226 (talk) 15:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Racing

This is an excellent topic I think we should be expanding. Placed {{expand}} within the section. Maybe we can throw in as much detail as possible for all generations and if it gets big enough, generalize it and expand within the separate generation articles. Thoughts?
