I knew that it was a clone when I first looked at it. I gave it the benefit of the doubt with the wheels, but the emblems were the dead give away for me. I'm a sucker for red Camaros, but your wheel choice is a major bummer for me. When I see those wheels, I think they belong on a Mustang. I will say the car looks pretty clean though.

To many people to caught up in the ss badge thing, I hate the look of the z28badge personally, SS looks so much cleaner. I loved the rims, look great in person.
Car looks great, oh wait, its not a real ss. Nevermind, looks like crap. How egotistical is that statement. You put the money in and hard work in, you can call it whatever you want. You see it on the street, no one would even know it wasn't an ss. Havent ran into anyone yet that didn't know. Its not like he goes around calling it an ss. Its 100x better than putting ss badges on a cobalt. Now thats an embarassment to chevrolet. Putting an ss badge on a camaro when you've upgraded the suspension, intake, exhaust, hood, spoiler and rims ( your normal ss upgrades ). I see no problem with it bud.
His dream car was an ss. 2 weeks before this car, we purchased an ss, a nbm that dynoed at 447 hp to the rear wheels. It had stage 2 5.3 heads with an extremely radical cam. It was running in the 11's. Had 315's out back on some 7x11 zr1 rims. Car looked fantasic. I have pics if you dont believe it. The day we bought it and pulled it in the drive way, the x pipe, fell off. literally fell off. Then we changed oil, it was black. We took it back. Got out check back after paying the guy another 200 to except the car back because he had been trying to sell it forever. We payed 17,500 for it, in cash. We drove back home disappointed, especially Cory, aka redbadss.
2 weeks later, When he bought the z, it was for like 12000 dollars, an elderly couple had it. We had just got done looking at a used ss in tulsa that had more miles and most likely been abused for 19,000. It's not like he couldnt of got an ss. Money wasn't the problem, but how could you pass up a beautful z owned by old people who babied the heck out of it. Plus you have that extra 6 thousand to spend on mods. He's got 3-4 thousand dollars in it. Whats your basic ss package cost? 3 thousand and some change. Give me a break. I own a ws6, a true ws6, but i have no problem with someone with a regulat ta who gets a ram air hood and then puts the emblems on. Its just a performance package. Therse hardly any difference between a reg ta and a normal ta performance wise. I've drove both, they felt the same, same goes for ss and z28. You guys are upset about a symbol. a 2 letter symbol compared to a 3 letter symbol. Rediculous is what I call that.
The kid wanted an ss, he had one, it turned to crap, so he bought a babied z and turned it into one. Who cares what the books officialy say.

I like them on my car for some reason, I dont think I'm going to take them off. I have added the whistler mod since I took that pic. Have you thought about it? Just one recommendation, dont try to wet sand your headlights unless they absolutly need it

. You put the money in and hard work in, you can call it whatever you want. You see it on the street, no one would even know it wasn't an ss. Havent ran into anyone yet that didn't know.

chill out guy, I think most everyone here has said that it looks great but you can tell its not an SS....and if you say that no one would even know that it wasnt an ss or that you have ran into anyone then your in denial....you can most definitely tell its not an SS.....its VERY obvious...just cause you havent met anyone yet doesnt mean they haven noticed it...maybe you havent talked to them..there are several here that have already said its obviously not a true SS....including myself....its no big deal to be honest with you..I think folks were just trying to clarify if it was real or not...there are several differences in a genuine SS and this car..either way I think its a beautiful car...but just cause you put money and time into car doesnt give you the right to call it whatever you want...I can scribble some stick figures on a paper and slap some paint on there but I cant call it a Van Gogh or a Monet, Agreed??? You dont want your mechanic saying he is a doctor cause he watches HOUSE...You get my point...
as for the clone thing your on a performance site where folks care about quality and genuine performance cars...not a whole lot of folks on here care about a cloned car....its just the nature of the beast....thats all...its nothing to get upset about...I dont like the idea of a cloned car myself but to each his own..a quick temper on this site will get you no where..folks are just stating their opinions...I dont think anyone really was being disrespectful...just stating that they didnt agree with the idea of a clone..hopefully you understand where some folks were coming from

My argument isn't with any one guy. It was just defending a man who put alot of money and time in his car to make it what he wanted it to.
Have a good day.
