I've seen that one before!
Basically, he wrapped a Camaro 'vert body, around a TTA interior & drive train. Nice, but overpriced, IMO.

Well, the hood is cool. The fact that it is on a Camaro, isn't cool. That, and its missing 2 nostril openings...Even my Tahoe had all 4 nostrils!

Re: 12 second 3.8 powered vert!!
Whoever built it put his favorite TTA and TA parts(engine and interior) into a Camaro body. I can't say I like everything about the car, but at least it's all been done very well and looks good.
So to whomever keeps the records for the number of TTAs that were built, there's apparently one less of them still in existence today... not to mention one less Recaro TA also.

Re: 12 second 3.8 powered vert!!
Have to wonder what someone is thinking while their destroying a car like that. It looks like they were careful and thorough, but its not many people's choice of style.

Re: 12 second 3.8 powered vert!!
I think I have pics of what the car looked like before this paint scheme. It was teal with some geeky '90s graphics.
Looks like they tore the entire car apart to repaint it. It really is a top notch ride.
Also, notice the Firebird dashboard.
