First couple pics I thought the front rims were larger than the rears.... but I guess its just the angle. They both look ridiculously large.

Somebody loved it enough to build it.



Agreed! Sometimes cars like this can be bought well and with an investment in a better suspension and wheels and tires you'd have a pretty good car.

You can't buy that car at that price and save it. You'll be underwater the whole time. It needs a $25k sticker price.

As a marketing guy I can't stand the marketing BS used in car sales. What a joke.

My friend's car looked like that in high school only it had stock 14" wheels with 205-75s up front and N50s on slotted mags out back. I was glad when that look went away, now Pro Touring is bringing it back???

So too much weight up front, a suspension preloaded to nose dive, factory suspension parts all around, drag race ladder bars with single leafs, and big wheels make it the perfect pro touring machine. Cool.

My car was advertised as pro touring 3 years ago. Trust me, there was nothing pro touring about it. More like no touring!

I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote the sales pitch for this car drives a Prius, wears black rim glasses with no prescription, drinks craft beer, has a monopoly guy moustache and can't stop talking about how much he loves bacon.

"But all of that doesn't matter when you look at this killer stance! As far as aesthetics go, this Camaro is the epitome of how a muscle car should look"

What a douche.

Looks good to me SW --- to think you could have gotten "The Dark Side" for only 30 grand more...

You know you lift the carpets and this thing is rotten all thru... Nobody could really be a car guy and drive it as is and think it's "fine" unless you also don't mind a few flaws here and there.

Do we want to take bets on the 454 being a truck take out? LOL

Looks to me like a Pro Street car that had a wheel change out. Easy enough to make it back into a Pro Street car.

Good intel Dan --- But it doesn't fix the wheel combo -- or the interior - or the fact that the hood doesn't line up with the top of the fenders... and that's only the stuff that jumped out at me when I spent 45 seconds looking at it. LOL
