yeah z28.com requires that you are a member to view the pics. The same pics are in the ls1tech thread link that I posted.

Lol...why not?! Its the same damn car. Im not a fan of this. Too much work for nothing really. And he is taking the already long front end and making it even longer. Just seems like kind of a waist though.

Although I have to give points for an original look. No one is going to know what to think of is car driving by. Seeing a Trans Am in the rear view and then a Camaro pass by?! Crazy.

hmm-im not sure sure what kind of rear-view mirror you have, but im pretty sure a normal mirror would show you a camaro, and THEN a trans-am pass by
***if you dont mind, id actually like to borrow your rear-view mirror for a bit, i've seen a few chicks crawling around the clubs who could benefit greatly by being seen with an ***-backwards view, you might have a money maker here, if you could figure out how to put that into a contact lense or something......... anyway.
oh- and by the way - does your "points for an orignial look" statement indicate that the "cam-am" creation would actually pass you by on the road, man i sure hope your car is faster than that thing !!!!

-Just messing with ya ! / had to throw in my 2 cents

Surely you're talking about the red GM test mule (which they didn't do any body work to) and not this one that I'm talking about:

i think 01SOM was referring to that red one when he said its nice to see lined up. i was thinking the same thing, then someone posted the red one to reaffirm what i was thinking.

i kinda like it, but you get the less attractive camaro rear end with the annoying pop-up trans am headlights. it seems to take the worst from each, but it does it seamlessly.

I like it except for that thingy around the rear window.

If I had the choice, I would have went for the Firehawk type hood. More subtle.

No flat black paint.... you can clear it which it looks like they did but it has to be a flat black paint no metallic no gloss, you can clear it and it will look like this.

Nice work, but not sure what for.

Honestly, other than hardcore f-bod owners, NOBODY knows WTF they're looking at, when they see our cars anyway. I've been called, Camaro, Mustang, Corvette constantly and I drive an LS1 Trans Am.

WE will notice, at the shows where we see that beast, but Joe Average on the street will just think, "meh... another one of those American gas guzzlers".
