I think we should be happy that Pro-Touring build style cars are being made more common by companies like Unique Performance for building their turnkeys. Yeah there's PT Camaros that are nicer, but I think it's a great thing for the Pro-Touring movement that guys like Foose and Unique Performance are building these cars. It'll only get more press for this build style. C'mon let's not slam it, let's appreciate it for what it is and applaud these guys for helping to make Pro-Touring more mainstream to the masses who have never heard of it.

Pic I just found on PT.com. $100K+ and you can't go over a speed bump let alone drive it on most roads with that kind of ground clearance.

I can't really say that. From the rear, it may look like it can't. From the side, I think it's just the headers that are low. Even with that, you can kinda go sideways with it.

great, just what we need, now camaros are going to be even MORE overpriced and unattainable to the average guy. its going to be just like the elonore mustangs, every time i see one i have to shake my head. its nice to see something FRESH, and thats what the firs one is, but, it ends after that. might as well leave it stock in my eyes.

The car looks great from the rear. I really like the exhaust cut into into the rear panel. I think anything north of $100k is crazy. Has anyone thought of building cars similar to this in a simpler version for say $50K to $75K? I'm thinking of a clean car with some production type or standard components.

Remember that the Foose name attached to it add quite bit to the value.. It is just the way it is..

The body/paint work on the car looked very good and with the custom touches you would be hard pressed to have one built for yourself for less than $100k by any known shop. I imagine the ZZ572 and custom Hogan intake is almost $20k alone.

Would I pay it? Maybe if I was Bill Gates rich but then again we are car guys that know what we are doing.. this car is more marketed tword wealthy people with lots of disposable income and want to be the new "bitchen guy on the block" when he rolls up in his instant gratification Foose car...

It's not a bad thing.. the rich deserve to drive musclecars as well

Johnny will be shooting the Foose car and the GT350 car soon (together).. Between the two I would rather have the GT350.. that thing is COOL..

If I was Bill Gates rich, I would not be buying a Unique Car. I would OWN Unique and build them right and would not care if I lost a few grand or ten per car. Everybody needs a write off.

If I was Bill Gates rich, I would have a "one off" car done by Troy or Kyle or maybe even Boyd. There are a few guys here that can do work just as nice as Foose.
