Im with him! Takes a pretty big set of bollas to cut up a beautiful new ride like that. It does look bad Azz, though.

P.S. Man, whoever the welder is, did an awesome job. Those are some nice welds there in the last pic.

the car itself, i kinda like.
the fact that its slammed.. :barf:

yeah it has no flow at all looking like that, the wheel wells are too tall and circular or somehing idk..

Does the Passenger door not line up now? looks like its off bad.. Its not bad I dont think I would have the balls to do it though. looks cool but definalty not something I could do at all. not to mention now that the door looks fubar.

Well...its good work......but im out on that !!!

I like it, was it the same one at SEMA?

the door is fine, for some reason the rear side window has black tape around it, makes it look all screwed up...

That should definitely be worth a free burrito no matter who's running the Taco Bell drive thru.

That's BADASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car looks good. All this new Camaro talk and show has me real excited. I'm truly obsessed with Camaro's. Thanks Chevy

the side windo as tape around it because it was just urethaned in ...
2 do a good quilty paint job u take all the windows, moldings, handels and every thing off

I like cars that go fast and handle well. This car is the opposite, hopefully just wasting a V6, not a SS. I like it when someone pursues their own vision and I can appreciate good custom work however.

When I go to car shows, this is the kind of stuff I laugh at.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2452/3861/31129430024_medium.jpg Its cool with me if you or your customer wants to pimp his ride. its not like there's a shortage of new camaros. From the look of it, you do very good work.

so because it has a bag on it wont handle

its almost like a tunable coilover


and 2 be clear its not my car and i DID NOT do the work

Sorry, I'm not trying to make you defensive. like i said, its quality workmanship. However, it shouldn't be judged for performance, but for visual appeal. Its art. A bagged and slammed car with a blower could never be more than a dyno queen. To each his own. A low rider is a cultural statement, not a performance vehicle.

I have no interest in rock crawling, tractor pulls, drifting. But I don't pass judgment. I'm certain there are many auto enthusiasts that consider my interest in road and rally racing a waste of time. I've got no problem with that.

My friend was checking out the pictures. He customizes cars from the 40's. Bag/slam chopped you name it. He thinks this camaro is "sick". Check out his website chevybombs.com

Ugly as sin.

Though one may not appriciate the style, you do have to admire the fabrication skills.....

I like the fab work. Who says a car with air bags can't perform? You need to do some more research

Definately not my thing, but different strokes for different folks.

so true, air ride tech was the first company to road race on air ride, to prove that it does perform and can out perform a coil over, my alero handles like a champ on air ride, adjustbale ride dampening on the struts, i love air ride

I think it looks cool. You have to respect the welds and fabrication on that thing.

i like the stripe around the car, looks good.

damn makes me wanna slam my car ......about 1.25 inches lol.

Contrary to popular belief, a well thought out air bag suspension can perform better than stock.

Here's an example:

Cool video showing how air bags increased performance on a Dodge Magnum.

thats one way to get some weight out of these cars. Looks bad ass as well.

It's pretty cool, but this thing was meant for drag racing not for lowriding purposes. But I guess it's whatever you like.

it was meant for drag racing? that's why it weighs 2 tons and has IRS? Interesting....

Not my taste at all. The stripe is nice, though.

I like it, its definately different, and thats what makes it bad ass.

but....why does everyone think you are mexican or hispanic to have a bagged car or truck? In fact, most hispanics prefer hydraulic suspension, not air.

and yes air ride suspension can and does handle well when thgough out and put together with the right parts. I used to have a truck that was rediculously good handling. I've also had some that were worthless for anything but laying on the ground. I love air ride though, if you have ever taken a long trip like the power tour in something lowered, you will love the proper air ride suspension.

would I cut up a new camaro just to lay it out? prob not.

Certinly didn't help it look any better. FAIL!!!!!!!

You should do some research before speaking on a topic you know nothing about...



How recent are these photos? Are there any of the finished product? Shit's badass btw... The welds are a work of art.

I met the guys from Status (built that car and it won one of GM's awards at SEMA) down at a show in Tyler TX...awesome folks. Fellas...that car is top notch in person. You guys wait...it'll be at drag and auto-x tracks or at least one with the same set up will be. they know what they're doing...procharger sent them a f1 head for it.

Bags are like having every spring rate at the touch of a finger tip.

lol, that's a good way to put it

Does it have a chain steering wheel and hydraulics??? :D




That car is UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!:barf:

Looks nice to involed to have the end result.

pretty ugly to me.:thumbsdow:doublepuk

some of the people speaking in this thread on how bags cant perform seriously need to be removed from the gene pool

I can't blame some folks for thinking bad things about bags. People tend to get a bad impression of air bags when certain guys use them to hop or they mount them with weak shocks or no shocks at all. I think they also remind people of hydraulics, which everyone knows is not performance minded.

Has no one ever heard of pro-touring? Its called Hot Rod magazine and its kinda a big deal. Try reading it you bunch of newbies. By the way if you bash any kind of niche then you wont be welcomed by anyone in the automotive culture. Just a thought.

Very nice car and craftsmanship.

want to race this truck in a straight line or around corners? its probably faster then what you drive lol
Its bagged and has a ls2 in it...
It handles corners better then a vette.
Just because its bagged doesn't mean it doesn't handle very well.

Very Nice. Mine handles pretty good all around. The Camaro here is much nicer though.

red trucks are slow :engarde:

Oh that is a nice one. Always did love those bodystyle stepsides. I am so ready to do some more mods to my dodge but its going to have to wait even longer than anticipated. Guess that makes it sweeter when I do it.

Plus its hard to stay devoted to one longterm project when cool shit like that Camaro is being built. So tempting.

to be honest i use to HATE bagged cars and trucks untill i had the chance to ride in one and drag and everything else an now i think they are amazing!

Would i do that to my car no? NO but it really is amazing the ride it can give with bags.
So dont hate if you have never riddin in a quality bagged vehicle.

JUST MY OPINION

:barf: Looks like shit. They f'd up a perfectly good camaro.

Dear Mr. Vette Killer,
I haven't raced any road courses in Texas yet, only California. What are your times? Or do you AutoX the slammed red truck?

Exactly.......

Regards,
Mr. Slow Camaro w/out Airbags

mmmm.... dont dig the slammed look. Kudos to whoever had the gutz to cutt up a brand new car.

*Shudder*...:barf:

Im kinda liking the black TA in the background of one of the pics....whats goin on with it? Please don't cut it up!

holy shit im speechless

just my opinion but i dont like it.

Holy bad ass! ! !

Basically sums it up! Very nice car with amazing workmanship!

:barf: Looks like shit. They f'd up a perfectly good camaro.
So this is what happens when mini truckers get ahold of a Camaro.

ha ha, + 1 on that!

not sure how a guy with a convertible 4th gen can talk about something being able to handle well or not. the last 4th gen vert i drove had so much body twist to it i wondered how people even managed to drag them let alone want to road race them.

its prob a great car, just not the first thing i would think of when handling is mentioned.
