sorry about that picture quality it was the first thing I ever did in photoshop, and that damn front wheel just wouldn't turn out right.. as you can see if you look good it's a mixture of the newer camaro (the middle to back, and the 1st gen front, slightly modified so it can't be called a first gen, but a modern version

go get a copy of super chevy magazine, theres an awesome illustration of what u guys are talkin about.

 

I just think it would be cool to have an older style car with newer accessories and a more modern high output engine. Also with today's suspension and sound deadening materials, I'm sure it'd be a nice ride.

 

i think the original 5th gen concept illustration released was the best one. i saw it in a super chevy mag about 3 or 4 months ago...if they ever decide to make a 5th gen, they outta drop a LS6 or a highly modified 6.0L, so the rustang will never come close again performance wise.

 

look in the newest camaro performers, it is a great illustration of the 1st gen styled 5th gen camaro.

91 rs, convertible, K&N, Edelbrock open element cleaner, 3.73, B&M mega-shifter, goodmark cowl-induction hood,tinted windows

 

I don't remember what magazine i saw it in, but for the (5th gen?) new camaro's they were supposed to put out 435 horses, and the TA's with 6xx. I remember seeing that in a magazine...now i am off in my pursuit to find that magazine!

------------------
89 IROC-Z 350 TPI

-Flowmaster Catback
-Performance Resource Chip
-700R4 (Rebuilt) Too much done to actually list
-K&N Airfilters
-Ported Plenum
-2.77 Gears (not much to brag about but eh, its there)
-MSD 8.5 mm plug wires
-Problems every other day with the car (probably not a mod, but to me it sure makes a difference)

 

First off I realise this is a very old thread, that said.
I was thinking it would be cool to find an aftermarket chassis, and buy all aftermarket body panels and interior parts. Build a new 69 camaro, however you wanted.

 

you could build a 1st gen shell and chassis with 12 pt cage and all for like $6500 but it's all fiberglass...

 

EDIT: ok just bothered to see very old thread back from dead for another reason, but still nice picks.

Nope, that green one is butt ugly. It looks like a slightly modified Corvette, and I hate how the Corvette's look. Utterly disgusting.

 

Holy crap, that green one makes me wanna cream my pants. I can't wait until the new 5th gens come out in 2007. Hopefully it will have some 3rd gen styling as well.
