This Camaro has been listed.......I lost count. I think this is the 5th or 6th time. I enjoy a good laugh.

I saw that car at Carlisle over the summer. Huh. Interesting car.

I was just reminded of the back and forth motion my head made when I saw this car at SEMA last year. This is why you hire a designer who is willing to tell you NO.

Somebody should ship them a banner to hang in the shop that reads "Less is More"

I wonder if they'll throw in the 5'4" Zeus mannequin??? Nothing says kick-ass like a white-haired, undersized, fashion model-esq Zeus in your garage.

I remember that car from SEMA....didn't it have some weird suspension? Auto adjust widget or something? I remember the guy (builder I guess) wasn't too friendly.

Lame.

I don't necessarily agree that any and all publicity is good publicity...

I think it's a typo. One too many zeros behind that "4". Nice looking car, but not 400k nice in my op.

That is alot torque for a convertible and that big rollcage.

I think they are equally funny...

Imagine how much it would have been worth if it won street machine of the year.. or even got into the top 5..

LOL....I said the EXACT same thing when I looked it over last year. The builder talked to me for quite a while about it, nice guy. It had a couple really nice and subtle mods but they were completely overshadowed by all the more extravagant stuff.

This is where money is well spent on someone who's job it is to be aware of trends, innovate and come up with a design solution that makes sense. This is a case of throwing a bunch of ideas at a car without looking at the big picture. It's like 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag.
