neat for a movie I guess...but that just doesn't add up unless they put a 4.0 whipple or a 671 on a holley hi ram lower to get it up that high. LOL

...but seriously guys, it's a design for a movie car. More specifically, for a movie for kids. Remember what Transformers did for the popularity of the Camaro? If this silly looking car inspires kids to be interested in performance vehicles and maybe even fall in love with the Camaro, instead of buying a Prius like a pretentious hipster, then we all win.

The more interest in these vehicles, the higher the sales, the better the Camaro Program becomes. ...and with the direction the automotive industry is being forced to go ( new CAFE standards ) we need all the help we can to keep our dreams alive.

Besides, I'd rather see a corny Camaro being the hero in a kids movie over a corny Mustang...

I think it's kinda bad-ass. My opinion probably doesn't count because I drive one of those ridiculous Transformers cars that some people on this forum seem to hate.

Cool for a promo car... wouldn't be caught dead driving it

2 things I would like on my car from this: 1) the flat black paint for custom stripes and 2) the wheels (but in 20"... these look like 22")

for what it was made for,i like it,
and im with "dorfmac" about the shipping back to 'AAC"
I had one of those scanner lights in my mail slot,it got totally deteriated from the sun and heat that it was in pieces,they wanted me to ship back so they could see it before sending another,i thought that was bad bussiness cause im sure i did'nt have the only one to do that,i just took it out and said forget about it,i was'nt gonna put another one in for it to do the same unless they had upgraded the material,
