What do you think? I think

 

i think a flat black approach would have looked better, but atelast it doesnt look like every other 5th gen on the road.

 

Just couldn't see myself spending 40k+, just to trash it. But maybe your right, flat black would have been better.

 

Flat black would have looked decent but what he did is stupid. Make a rat rod out of a junk car not a $40k + car. That's obviously someone who has too much money.

 

the motor i like but its still a stupid idea.

 

I kind of like it, usually attempts to just be "different" bother me but I think it's done quite well

 

That looks like comeplete SH*T! The engine looks awesome. Seems like it was an old guy that likes rat rods but has no talent to actually build his own and alot of extra money so he took a grinder to a brand new 5th gen.

 

I'd rather have my car look like every car on the road then to take a brand new car and turn it into a theft recovery turd rod.

 

looks like ****. i love rat rods. but that is not meant to be

 

I dont think its all that bad, still would have went with a flat black or even just a primer look.

 

That guy destroyed that car. 1000hp is great but why oh why did they do that to that car.

 

Stupid.

 

WTF!!! That is completly dumb, I know people have different taste an its their car, But its a new car, no way it will look like a rat rod, it doesnt have the curves or many pieces thrown together! What a waste

 

looks god awful. I like Rat Rods, dont get me wrong, but this is just terrible. Besides arent Rat Rods built out of whatever works? an old tractor grill, different pieces of different vehicles put together to make it functional? Thats not this at all.... its a 40K camaro, that had a grinder put to it along with a few dents.

 

I've seen airbrushed patina that looked better to be honest....

 

Exactly. This isn't a rat rod. This is more of a faux patina car. Rat rods are like you said, are low-buck builds. I think that this car would be more interesting with a killer paint job. No likey.

 

Looks like crap, neat idea but it didn't come out good at all. That car is probably very fast if it's capable of hooking though.

 

I would NOT get behind the wheel of that car, 1000 hp or not.

It was painful to see those pics.

 

agree i love the old skeeewl rat rods but that is just junk, rat rods are more than just shitty paint , and alot of the fab work i have seen on some of those is top notch, that is just dumb,

 

not a fan either, but maybe if they debadge it, get rid of the black grille and replace the rims with old looking slicks and skinnies, it migh help out a little bit.
