2nd place? The 1970 Chevelle 454SS.
I know this is a Camaro forum, so plenty of people will probably disagree with me, but the 1970 Chevelle is hands down the most bad ass looking car GM ever created. I don't mean sleek and fast looking, I don't mean gorgeous flowing lines and a sense of speed. I mean "If you saw it in a dark alley you would turn the other way and hope it doesn't beat the shit out of you, steal your wallet and then take your girlfriend out to dinner with the money it gets out of your wallet. Then have sex with her and never call her back."
I don't think a rebadged G8 is the avenue for a car like that, but I think that if GM wanted to pull another retro vehicle out of the design studio, the Chevelle should be their first choice. |
Agreed. TOTALLY BADAZZ CAR.
It's also a 2-door (SS is a four door), which, again, I didn't know until you posted a picture.
Am I an idiot? Maybe. But I'm the target market for this car, and I like the SuperSport name, and I'll be happy to buy one.
