my guess would be that the front ones are ET fronts :p

ill agree, wing needs to go, not a fan of the wheels either though. the red stripes and the red hockey stripes work well together

That wing looks terrible in my opinion, but if he likes that is all that really matters.

Slap a 4inch cowl hood and the wing would look a lot better. It looks off because it's so high in the back but then you have the puny LS1 SS hood up front. I never realized how un-aggressive the SS hood looks on the LS1 until now. In any case, maybe a different wing, or a different hood, something to even the lines of the car out. Personally, I don't really like the rims either, but hey it's your car do what you like.

That's one of the more unique looking Camaros I've ever seen. I don't love it (I prefer more traditional styling) but, I don't hate it either. At least it looks like it belongs on the drag strip. I'm surprised at some of the posters who are bashing it though, considering some of the cars they've defended in the past.

The wheels are Bogart with anodised red centers (just for track), I have Z06 polished for the street.

I get so much **** in the US for that wing but here everybody likes it. I does help at the track though (LOL), it is not that bad in person.

I would like lowering this thing for the street but that would hurt my track numbers.

I think I will repaint it soon, It has been 3 years like that. I'm looking at a white pearl with candy apple flames or something like that.

For those dissing the rims, your retarded. Bogarts are some of the best looking and lightest drag rims you can buy. The red centers is a preference thing. As for the wing, it is a little big, lol. Otherwise the car looks real good man.

We're retarted because the wheels look bad? Most people i'm sure as myself weren't dissing the style of wheel but the color choice. I know what bogarts are i have a friend that is a dealer and several friends with them on their cars...I'm more of a D10 Bogart myself if we were going for looks though.

I'm at 429 rwhp and over 600 with a dual stage dry nitrous.
My best time was 11.13/ 122 mph NA

If I lower it that will be the day its track days are over.

BTW, talking about unique, according to SJM, I'm the only one in the world with red anodized Bogarts
I'm not much of a trend follower.
SS wing looks good, but that's copying a SS
Duck lips look fine but I'm not a fan.
Even the SS hood, I'm getting tired of, I want a SLP Ultra Z hood.

so cus the rims are light we cant diss them?

who cares how much they cost? they can cost 5000 and still like **** to some members, as golden to others. the weight and cost of rims dont make them look nice, its all about personal preference, so i think YOU are a retard for calling the ones that didnt like it retards, without justifiying it.

everyone has their own opinion. and on this site, they can state it, for or against what is being said...everyone is their own INDIVIDUAL. =)

anyways. i like the stripes and car, not the wing, or even those red light awesome bogarts

I just don't think it's cool to diss someones rims because they aren't pimp If you know anything about drag rims you would know Bogarts are one of the top for the f-body. People that diss them are the same people that like a phat set of 22s on an f-body I guess thats just my opinion. Maybe retarded wasn't the right word, how about gay.
