A 700 HP Camaro "ZL1" Movie Car Named "Turbo"

[Mr. Unassailable]

Probably already mentioned, but the window sticker contradicts the article. I don't see L99 on the Chevrolet paper anywhere. Just says 700HP supercharged engine. Leads me to believe it is a ZL1 with a upgraded blower and someone pulled L99 out of their ass.

After every little boy has a Turbo toy he will grow up to want a Camaro. I'm ok with that


BTW, that thing is Fugly!

My thoughts exactly. Having 3 and 4 year old girls, I like anything that I can share with them. As it is, they have a bunch of Hot Wheels, and the 4 year old's favorite is the one that looks like daddy's car.

there just trying to create future Camaro buyers, get them while there young, I know as a kid this kind of car would have appealed to me but tastes change as you get older. don't sweat it guys! this is a good thing.

I love it : Bow:

After looking at it closer, it seems like the guy that wrote the article is a moron.

I'd love to see some live action footage of this beast roaring down the track.

The usual '315' or whatever number is millimeters right?

If that's the case they are 381's?

I could be totally wrong...

15" = 38.1cm = 381mm

Not true. I know many people who like their movies that aren't kids, including me. We must all be kids, as each one of us is drawn to the Camaro as well correct?

I think it looks pretty cool. Being a long time follower of DreamWorks, I find it pretty cool they take interest in the Camaro.

Looks like The Not So FAST and Definately Not FURIOUS!!! Yack!!!

[blakechase]

i wonder how those fenders work? it looks like an easy way to make the car wide bodied. any one know of the parts?

+1 minus the Fugly comment. For a kids movie... it's a frickin' beauty!!!
