I went and re-read th article in HRM again. I think this car is awesome. I can't see most people choosing this swap which is what makes it great. Ingenuity and attention to detail are what drives the Hot Rod movement.:thumbsup:

You do know a lot of these Camaros are Canadians back in the '60s right? Even the 2010 Camaros are Canadians and not Americans. Some American cars are even Mexicans and Chinese. Most resto parts are made in Taiwan and China too. What some of us don't know is that are beloved American cars use a lot of imported parts and some even the entire engines are Japanese. I'm not arguing that you don't like the car, but just offering some enlightenment.

Awesome Car - I just looked at all of the pictures on your web site.

I am also happy that Hot Rod did a feature on the car

If that's your thinking fine but none of that logic makes it right.That was then,now is now.

I realize it's your right to do what you want...just as it's mine to tell you how I feel.I also realize hotrodding has always been about engine swaps and personalizing vehicles...as it has since the dawn of time.I can appreciate the car for everything that was done and the manhours spent to achieve the end-result.
You completely lost me on the motor choice and that boy-racer exhaust system...

I am glad I'm not alone in expressing my dislike for this abomination.

Sure,maybe your 1000hp dyno-queen will probably beat my 554hp solid-roller 11:1 racefuel-fed stroker motor eventually...but let's fire them both up and see which one sounds and feels like a real classic American Musclecar.:yes:I'm guessing it sounds like crap...

no need to get all rude... but yes, the big block would sound way sicker. still think this is a cool car though, and i'm glad someone did it, because i wouldn't.

Musclecarjohn,

No problem with you not liking the car, I'm not even talking about that. Its more about realizing the truth. In the '60s Camaros were built by Canadians. Even to this day Camaros are built by Canadians. Chevrolet (an American Company) don't even let their own peope build the new Camaro. how do you feel about that? How is that then and now is now? Its still the same. I believe Ford Fiestas are made by Mexicans. Nothing has changed, the auto industry will build the car where it is cost effective for them, or if politics play a role. They aren't as patriotic as a brand as you would like to think. I'm 100% certain you car has parts from Taiwan and China. Whether it be a fender, rear mirror, radio deck, etc. At the end of the day its all plastic and metal from the same source.

Thats the first I ever heard that! Thanks for taking the time to read it and not burning the magazine! haha

Sure looks good with those wheels on it.

Not a fan of that style on the interior, but I applaud your taking of the road less traveled with the drivetrain. Now, get that thing out and run it!
