You're absolutely correct about judging by the quantity of posts someone has. However, you certainly can judge by the quality of thought behind it. Luckily you make it easy and don't put any thought behind yours. Nice that you can claim to express your opinion, but no one else seems to be able to have one that counters yours.

You mean you're finished with a pathetic attempt to justify your position - when in actuality you never had to justify anything. All you had to do was say, "I don't like it." Nuff said.

By the way, did you know that rice boys use K&N's? Did you know that they also use custom mufflers? How about shift kits or custom ram air? Are you a rice boy? You sure you've got a Camaro there and not an import? Because we certainly don't want to do anything that someone may find *****, do we?

Go find some other method of overcoming your ***** envy.

Bravo "Steve"....you put me in my place..

 

all this is, is someone dissing on this kit car because they dont have the *****, nor the knowledge to even be able to put this kit on their car. they are too afraid that if they did this to their car, their friends and other people they know wouldnt like their car and they couldnt deal with that because they are scared to think for themselves. i guess this might be "rice" too huh? just do yourselves a favor guys and just ignore him.

 

i think it looks kinda cool, id prolly paint it and go with different rims, but, you can change anything to a camaro on this board without it being stupid or ***** or why would you do it, but, i guess i would have to agree with Jim, if you wanted to change it that drastically, why buy a camaro in the first place? however, i must say, if this was a beat *** camaro and someone did that to it, i would say its pretty cool looking to me acually...

 

I think it looks too much like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, with a Ferrari F40 wing, & half-assed Testarossa body lines.
Its a body kit. Say what you want, but it is. Its a kit, that you put on the body, that makes it look different. The only thing is, whoever made the kit doesnt understand that your only supposed to do stuff like that to cars that looked bad to start with, like Testa Rossa & Daytona kits for MGB's & Countach kits for fieros.

 

Yeah, that's a great reason to create a kit.

I think they picked the F-Body platform because it's cheap: they're a dime a dozen used, and even more plentiful in the boneyards. And they have an extraordinary aftermarket base, as most of us here already know. And besides, maybe someone wants to build a kit car that's actually the size of an actual car. Sure the Fiero and MGB kits look cool, but they're so damn tiny...

 

Not to mention the fact that the f-body is a platform that can be made to handle and perform like a supercar relatively easy. I guess that all those kit car AC Cobras are really fox body mustangs because they use that chassis.

 

i think mr. iroc-z's slogan "looks are everything" pretty much sums up a response from me.....no matter what you say or do or what the car really is beneath the only thing that matters is the outside.......

some of my favorite quotes:

I do not blame stupid people for being stupid, what i do blame them for is for not asking smart people for advice. When ever my mom asks for help, i tell her, i'm the one who knows what he's doing, not you, don't question me, just do what i tell you to. if stupid people would just realize they were stupid, and consult a smart person for advice, before they went and did something stupid and got pregnant/got someone pregant, this ****hole of a world would be a lot better. - adam corola

Honda makes great performance cars - any scarcastic comedian

 

so why were you concerned about modifying your engine buddman if looks are every thing :P

 

to start off with i like the K-1 kit i even checked up on it. But at $5,995.00 + $450 shipping and another $150 for cratting, $958.00 for tires and at least another $1,200 for rims to total $8,753+. i dont think its worth it. i would never do it to my camaro. but i think it would be cool just cause there aint to many out there that look like it. and i wouldn't like the fact that people would look at my camaro and think its a euro when its really a camaro

Sadly enough I read all the posts on this thread. The only and I mean only recongizable portion that resembles a camaro is the roof lines. THATS IT PEOPLE other then that it does not resemble a camaro at all and no one can say they would say that it is(or was) a camaro if they had not heard of this kit.
Me personally I love this kit and plan on doing it to my t top. I like the t top looks better then the coupe so I will do it to my other 3rd gen. And after I get 2 Convertables I plan on doing a convertable one as well.
I agree that the reason that the F body was picked is it has the rough shape and demensions of the euro supercars. And I believe this kits pulls it off really well. As far as the internals and undercarrage? do what you want. If you want it to perform like the supercar it is then fix it up to do it. otherwise you will get laughed at and walked over cause people WILL ALWAYS BE WANTING TO RACE YOU. I do not know the exact weight of the kit but I would believe that it would actually lighten the car a little because of all the fiberglass. And it would be nice to run the 12 inch wide front rims and the 14 inch wide rear that you could with this kit. You could make this thing perform just like an IROC racing rally car.


This is not a camaro after this KIT. It is a "kit car" it is not called that for no reason.

I plan to build one of these someday. I plan to dump 35k into mine. Might sound crazy to some of you, but for the price of a brand new 2001 corvette, I would rather have that kit car. Its not a 35 thousand dollar camaro, its a 35 thousand dollar twinturbo v8 exotic built on the american fbody platform.

I just saw this. It's one thing to add "effects" to a car, it's another to make it a whole new outer body. I commend the work and efforts, but if I wanted a car that looked mostly like a Mitsubishi Eclipse, I'd buy an Eclipse (it's cheaper)....

 

I looked at a 91 & 92 Firehawk, and to tell you the truth they were, shall I say Awesome. I offered him a certain amount and he was unwilling to budge in price, so I started to think. For 30-50k I could buy a Ferrari. a REAL Ferrari. Then I KNOW that it will be worth something some day and my money will not be lost. I have already spent more money on my car than I ever wanted.

I thought about making Ferrari style bumpers for My formula, and i will more than likely do it. It is more for the experience and having something different than anyone else. It will take alot of time, but the results will well be worth it.

If someone wanted to make this kit, it is a Kit car. No one says nice Camaro when they see my firebird, cause it is not. Alot of people would come up to whoever was driving it and ask "what kind of car is that? That is what is fun, and owners know it.

Believe it or NOT, I get more comments than anyone would believe when I drive my 67Riv. It is uncommon and it has a flashy paintjob. I get alot of "What kind of car is that." and it makes me feel good to get the comments.

I would take my hat off to anyone who was willing to do this to their car. Would I make it myself? probably not, there are some aspects that really do not appeal to me. I like doing my own thing. If I want something different, I will find a way to make it myself.

If you make the kit, and I see you at a gas station, I would be asking about the car and commenting on how awesome it looks.

In all honesty, I think it looks about as much like a Mitsbishi as a Camaro looks like a rustang.

Umm how does this lok like an elcipse?.... for one thing it about twice the size.

 

While I guess they do look a bit similar, I believe the 3rd gen had been out awhile longer than the Eclipse & the K-1 kit car was in development well before the newest Eclipse body style came out making the Eclipse look like a K-1 kit, not the other way around.

 

OK, so maybe it's an Eclipse on steriods, but it still looks an awful lot like a ***** to me (but it's too "bulky" to be a true *****). I think DeadBird has proven my point....

Like I said, I can commend the work and effort (cuz I know it takes a lot of both to do ANY good body work). But I see no purpose in dressing a Camaro so similiar an Eclipse.
Plus, I love the 3rd gens a lot. TO me, that does not "dress up" a 3rd gen, it's a whole different car with a 3rd gen core.

 

No no no, you've all got it wrong.

See, GM, Nissan, and Ferarri are going in together on a joint venture and they've contracted this guy to develop a prototype for them.

They're going to call it the 280ZC5arossa and it's due out spring of 2003. It'll feature a flat 8 cylinder engine with dual overhead cams.

Haha! But seriously, I've considered similar stuff with other cars. I just admire this guy for ACTUALLY doing it. Just completing a project like that makes him a far bigger man than me, despite what us critics might say.

 

I like that Kit, it looks total badass. I wouldn't do it myself, as I would put the money into the engine instead, but it looks sweet never the less. Since ppl seem to be talking about imports and if they would want one or not. This is one import I would love to get my hands on...

sorry not trying to bring old threads back from the dead that are not wanted, just sharing some stuff

 

That one you posted was for a fourthgen.

 

thats a thirdgen

well whatever

i wouldnt get it either way

 

Yea, thats a pretty ugly kit. Makes it look like a mustang from the side IMO.

 

hate me if u will but i luv that kit so much and if i had the money i would buy a next thirdgen just to put that kit on it.

 

let me be the first to say... the real thirdgen members wont hate you... but the rest of the assmunches on here will have somethin dumb to say...

if you like it and have the money hey its a free country.... thats why we have camaros to play with in the first place

 

 

assmunches on here are young 18-22 yo KIDS who dont do crap to their cars except tint the windows, throw on some rims and a system. Most of them still live with mommy and daddy so i dont know about you but i really dont care what their opinion is anyway. Most of the time i read the first three words of one of their posts and skip the rest.

Anything that takes long hard work i respect. Even if i think it looks like ***, you gotta respect the work that goes into the job.

 

This thread is getting out of control, hence......CLOSED.
