OK... Im not a huge camaro guy (obviously). I mean, I love em, but Birds are my fav. But I have to say, that that has to be the nicest damn Camaro that I have ever seen. Between the rims, and how you have painted the SS hood, Im gonna have to go ahead and give you a 10!!!!!!!!!!!! Matter of fact, I just book marked your photo album! :rockon:

I give it a 5, not a fan of that sticker, white cars and cars with red interior, I seriously hate. And not a fan of that hood or the red either. Otherwise, looks good.

You get a 10 only if you remove that hideous window sticker.

Not to be mean or anything, but on a show car scale I'd give you maybe a 5 or 5.5. For those who would disagree with me, I feel that on this scale my car would only be a 6 or 6.5, I've been to the Pebble Beach Concour's de Elegance and seen what it takes to be a 10. However on a daily driver scale I'd give you a 8 or a 9. It is a beautiful car.

thanks I only take it to local car shows and yes I agree with you too it was never ment to be a show car just a nice street car . and soon a nice performer too . it is okay now but it is far from fast.

I saw your car on www.camaroz28.com they were complaning because you had SS behind your name or stated look at my 91 SS.


Anyways, I have to agree with the above. Lose the sticker. I'm not a huge fan of the stripe, just sort of looks out of place to me. But I actully like it on Brads car (red Z with SS wheels).

Looks nice and clean though. Nice work. Like the wheels too... though I might be slightly bias.

I would have to give it a 7 or so....

Pros: I love the white... the SS hood is awesome. The red stripe is a neat touch. The wheels are killer!

Cons: As previously stated, the windshield banner has to go, and I really dislike red interior. Black or grey is the way to go. I know some might disagree with me on the white guage faces as well.... I really dont think that they fit the camaro interior at all.

Overall a nice car. You have put some work into it (unless you bought it that way, as some have...) and it looks pretty good.

Nice!

Hey Sean. It's good to see your car on here. I think it's coming along quite well. I would give the exterior of your car a 10 and the interior an 8 (This is a street car rating based on when I last seen it in person at 5th St. & Cruise). Keep up the good work.

Like your car, red interior or not. I personally like red interiors. Damn shame they fade out. Yes the windshield decal has to go.
Nice choice on the wheels though. I give it an 8.

Looks great, I'd give it a 9. Rims and hood look awsome, even if theyre borrowed from a fourth gen. The banner doesn't bother me, maybe because I have one- hey my car came with em- front and back! Eh, it might be a tad too big.

Put in the moser 12 bolt about a few months ago love it ... Motor is ready to put together all I need is electric wp 95-97 opti cover +opti push rods and computer and harness ... went with a egal stroker kit 838 heads and xtreame 224/230 503/510 cam... hope to have it in by this october so I can take it back to bristal. Also put on some nitto NT55R2s auto x tires love them...
