Looks similar to the car designed by that 19 y/o out in Cali. On Popularhotrodding.com they've got the pics of his car. And, just to let you know how real they are...Im an architecture student, and we have to do some 3D modeling this semester. So, i showed the pictures to my professor who's been a licensed architect for almost 30 years, and he had to guess @ whether the pics were comp generated or real.

I was SERIOUSLY impressed w/ it. That kid has one hell of a future ahead of him, if he can keep turning out models like that thing.

I liked the part @ the bottom of the PHR page where a GM Engineer reviewed the design, and like the tire/suspension/wheel well clearance and the door thickness were his 2 main concerns right then. Thats pretty damn amazing

GM needs to keep the 'vette ahead..

so all we ask is at least is a turbo 6 with 280hp and a z28 version with at least 395hp.

the SS can get like 415 or whatever.

I love that 2nd picture, the stance looks awesome from the back. GM needs to get that thing into production.

I love the rear view of that car, it really shows the retro side of the design with the tops of the rear quarters and the sail panel. I hope that one goes down into the production line....

Id' buy that car in a Heartbeat. GM needs to grow some ***** and build cool cars again. Just because U slap "SS" on a truck or now SUV doesnt make it faster or cooler. Spend over $40k for a SS silverado and still get OWNED by a FORD freakin Lightning, even a damn Chevy Reg Cab 5.3L out run that fatPig truck! GM needs to pull there head out of their asses and make cool cars again like that Camaro!
