Re: whats wrong with this z-bay camaro?

At first I thought it was a misproportioned picture. Then I looked at it and thought it was a photo shop... Then I realized it was a real deal... its different, thats for sure... it would be interesting to see how well it performed... Reminds me of a 80's Mustang for proportions... 16" or 17" wheels would make it look better...

It looks out of whack tho...

There's a 70's Monte Carlo like that around town... Looks goofy as hell.

I find it interesting they don't show any shortened T-top panels. Must be for sunny days only.

Re: whats wrong with this z-bay camaro?

i thaught it looked kinda wierd at first, but the more i kept starring at it, and looking out the window at mine as a referance, i started to REALY LIKE it. it does have a corvette c4 look in a way. i like how it looks more like a sports car, or exotic car demensions. but if it had a cool hood and wheels and was lowered 2"...i would trade all of my 3rdgens for it lol

Re: whats wrong with this z-bay camaro?

Why do people do this kind of stuff. Maybe instead of restoring my IROC I will shorten it and put it on a jeep frame and turn it into a one of a kind 4x4. Then I could pull my boat with it.

No on second hand I will just restore it. I already own a 4x4.
