Someone send this photo to GM. GM SHOULD build this car. It's perfect for production,.....well maybe all except for the BIG HUGE blower sticking out the top. But other than that. I'd say it would be easily passable as a new gen Camaro/Firebird. Nice job on the Chop by the way.

I think it looks too short and stubby, but not too bad.

Yea I keep staring at it, and i keep seeing photoshop. Color difference in the rear bumper..looks like the top was cut off, shrunk then stretched it out...sheels and blower look photoshoped on, and the reflection in the window looks different kinda odd. I could be totally wrong but..anyone else see this?

I'm gonna have fun picking this one apart. I think it looks really nice and would be an interesting concept car, but it's definetely a photoshop. Heres why:

1. The blower just looks wrong like it doesn't fit
2. The side mirror is squished down
3. The shadows are all wrong in the front and rear
4. Those are huge brakes for a thirdgen
5. And the most obvious, the truck in the background isn't touching the ground in the front

Still a cool idea though if you've got $$$ to burn on a project

Or you could just read the title, where he says he "choped this car", as in "Photochop" as some call it.

Also if you look through the driver side window the driveway that the truck is parked on doesn't line up. Anyway, I think it looks cool as hell.

Im kinda drunk but im pretty sure those are ZO6's with black powdercoat. There all over ebay, you can probably pic some up with tires for a little over a grand, and then get them powdercoated.
