that's a lot of work to get in a mag really. I have an issue of some Camaro magazine where someone got in with a 3rd gen with a completely stock motor and 20"s on the back.

I like how he pointed out the nitrous...yet the car dosent have anything for nitrous but a "show" effect..he even states that it. Its not even a functional system. Ive seen the car since he got it..and its gotten nothing but worse. I personally dont like it..but like many have said..hey its his car..his option. I cant knock him for it..he likes it..oh well.

He used..and i stress used to think...it was untoucable....Ran around town talking alot... Ah well..to each his own.

I know, I know, to each their own...But what the Hell was he thinking? It looks like he went to Auto Zone and bought every aftermarket do-dad they sell. It's just overkill to me. I'm sure it's a nice car and it's obviously exactly what he wanted, but I don't care for it at all. It's like he just didn't know when to stop.

Personally, I don't think he'll have much luck selling that car. Unless he finds a 16 yr. old with $6k burning a hole in his pocket.

As far as the car goes…

A+ Effort and Execution

D- Style and Design

I saw this car in person 2 summers ago if I recall correctly. Let's just say that it's not something I'd pay money for.

What you have is killer, what he has is overkill.

I don't know, it's just that fine line he crossed....

To each their own. He's won tons of awards, has made it into magazines, recognized (as in most people have seen his car before) by most of the Camaro community in the area, and if he's happy with it then that's what counts. Obviously, I like it, and I've seen it in person. It seems easier to be critical of someone's car online, but they always look a lot better in person.
