It's like they gave a blank white Camaro to a color-blind kid with a box of markers and said, "Here, have at it."



It's got all the right parts on it (grille, TTII's, CME), but they're all the wrong damn color. What a shame.

The paint work is over the top but that car is VERY rare being one of 2 made and I'm sure it will sell above 50k. Not my kind of car but some collector will buy it.

Would look better with clear corner markers.

Yeah, I know that's not going to fix it all, but that orange against all the other colours just stood out.

It could be worse...

I think the white car in the pic w/ the Ultra Z hood looks better overall.

Props on being unique, but I think they could've done something better.

The only car I don't like that BOBAVETT put up is the LT1 Camaro on 3-spokes. If there weren't red accents, it would be nice.

I see the other cars as unique. Sure the USA car is over the top but it's not horrid.

Longtime drag racing fans such as myself can appreciate it. The car's paint scheme was inspired by the paint schemes on several of Bruce Larson's USA-1 funny cars.

From what I can see of the 3 spoke black w/red car I LIKE. Looks cool to me - but then again...it is 4 in the morning...and I'm not sticking to the subject of the thread...

Who cares about the three spokes, the paint job's great. Same as all the others. It's easy to sit back and call something tacky when you haven't put half the amount of money or time into the appearance of your own car, but for those that go all out and spend that much money on a truely unique paint job (even if it's "over the top" to you) I have to give props to because OBVIOUSLY it's meant to be shown if they went that far for a paint job, and for a SHOW CAR it works great. The paint job might not reflect MY taste, but I can be mature enough to respect the time, money, and thought that went into a truely unique paint job.
