yeah that's amazingly better than what they came up with.

Even the cobalt tails look right at home, the exhaust tips arn't 6" either.

thats the SS concept from a couple years back, it had the 400hp LS2, i think it reminded me too much of the TVR. Granted TVR's look sweet, but that car is no camaro.
