As the saying goes!
Just because you can doesn't mean you should! Talented yes, but he wasted it on this project.

I really don't get it. Why buy a ZL1 and do this to it? A base SS would have made so much more sense. The only reason to have the ZL1 is the suspension and it's completely unusable thanks to the cartoonish tires. I think that's a lot of the "uproar". The ZL1 is the ultimate Camaro a lot of guys would love to have, but can't, and in their (and my) minds this one is ruined. Again, EVERYTHING on this car was replaced in the interior, ZL1 suspension is useless... a base SS would have made much more financial sense.

Re: Camaro ZL1 - Blingy
that truly looks like rolling art work but very few appeciate fine artwork and craftsmanship. I'm not sure what else too say but it just goes too show that the way the economy is it certainly doesnt affect everyone
 it kinda reminds me of a hotwheels car

They called it KING CAMARO. I think both of them are in poor taste.

Re: Camaro ZL1 - Blingy
Ummm, they put a Whipple on it???? What a waste of a Whipple, and a ZL1 for that matter.
I've seen a lot of these things (Donk, Box, Bubble) at car shows and cruises, and I really can't say I've ever seen a safely built one. Now don't get me wrong, I've seen some scary work done on lowered trucks and 4x4s, as well, but I honestly can say I would never ride in any one of those things I've seen, for fear of losing my life. I don't get it. A shop that might build decent rides seems to loose their sense of responsibility when it comes to one of these. And their sense of taste, too.
