custom camaro

This camaro was made for the New Kids on the Block music group, not sure if you've all seen it. It's different to say the least.





Looks more like a firebird.

Yeah, I bet the engine has some punch. The guy who built the batmobile made this. So he likes weird looking things.....I can only imagine what he drives....or what his house looks like

I have seen a pic of the engine with the hood up. Looks bone stock with exhaust manifols and all, all for looks with the blower, not really made for power.

After careful consideration,
The judges have voted....

Looks like dookie!

(and the blower case is probably hollow!)

At first I always thought that car was made from a Firebird, but looking at the rear quarter panels its obviously a Camaro. What confused me was the KITT front. The only way to get that KITT front on there successfully was to make the front end longer sloping.


The more custom a car becomes, the more specific the style is and the more likely that more people won't like it.

I have mixed feelings about it.

I've never seen the gfx for sale yet, but I'd figure its a one-off custom design.

I really love those wheels, and I like that front bumper. Reminds me of first gen 'maros. I think the paint job and the rear lights could have been designed a lot better, but not that bad as it is. Don't really care for the rest of the car. In fact, I hate those bumpers, if those weren't on the car, it wouldn't look half bad.

Also, yeah I bet that motor is stock with fake bolt-ons. Shame.
