I don't like the looks, but one question? I read somewhere that they will be making and selling 50 of them. It has long tube headers on it, would that make the headers emissions legal? Thanx for any replies.

They just dumped a bunch of overpriced SLP **** on it and had a 5 year old decorate it for the fourth of July parade.

I dont think I'm a big fan of the paint scheme either, but it does have some good parts on it. I'm sure its rediculously priced.

Well it's not as pretty as Andy's Berger or a Tom Henry but I like to see any company putting out high performance Camaros.

The paint scheme is a throw-back to the 60s when Larson was running one of the few Chevy powered fuel funny cars on the scene. It was somewhat successful then because it struck a patriot note at a time when our guys were dying in Vietnam for no reason.

Looks like Larson and company are trying to join the 'Tuner Car' business. Although it does have some nice parts on it and it probibly will run good, I agree that the paint SUCKS!

Enjoy your cars.

I don't think it's THAT bad, but it would be best suited for shows, IMO. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

One question- why did they put the ultra z hood on and keep it non-functional? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

OK, well I think we have a pretty good consensus on the feelings of the USA-1 Camaro.

This one is going bye-bye
