No harm, no foul in my book....I give them credit for adding custom touches, horsepower and graphics alike...Variey is the spice of life....Good luck to them. If you don't like how it's done, you don't have to buy it. Customize one yourself to that degree and you might appreciate it a little more....Just sayin'....They are not the first...

Yenko Camaros come to mind....

Yenko Camaros, Choo Choo Customs Firebirds, Rousch, Hennesy, Callaway and many others. Don't forget that AMG was a custom tuner before Daimler bought them and made them the in house performance shop. I'll never put down a tuner that's focused on reliable performance packages.

New 2018 Fireball 700 Owner

Bumping this thread up.

I just picked up a 2018 Fireball 700 and am very happy with it.

I will say that I have seen a lot of cosmetic variation outside of the "Fireball" badging. So I suspect that the dealers have a lot to do with the aesthetics.

My interior was left stock except for the Fireball logo on the headrest. Mine has "Fireball" center caps on the wheels.

I have been out of the Camaro game since 3rd gen but this was a great way to get back into it now that I am older and don't want to deal with doing full builds anymore.

Basically it is a great alternative for those of us who might not be able to comfortably get into a ZL1 but who might be ok with getting a pre-modded car that has a factory warranty.

I have seen a few here locally. They are a damn nice build. Look way better in person have subtle nice touches. I considered buying one.

If you watch Street Outlaws on Discovery, these are made by one of the guys on that shows shop. Ryan Martin. His original "Fireball" Camaro he drives is consistently the fastest car on the OKC list.

Do you have any under hood pictures? Would like to see what the ProCharger setup looks like on this Fireball 700.. Is the ProCharger Black? Details on the performance parts?

Cheesy. Wheels are gaudy, hood sux, letters are horrible. Just buy a pro charger and call it good.

congrats... I say go for it. Anything that provides options and performance. I think a pro charger factory backed model is pretty sweet.
Post up some pics from under the hood would love to see the works.

A guy I know (from OKC) who has worked in a few Chevy dealerships in town, explained their warranty is of their own, and not a "Factory Warranty". Not a GM warranty, or any supplemental coverage.

I saw 2 of these at Henna Chevrolet in Austin, TX. 1 hard top and one soft top.
I thought they looked Great!
Granted all the negative items people are talking about can easily be fixed, new wheels, debadge and change hood.
What you won't have to do is install a SC and internals to gain 700hp.
Not sure what the suspension is about, but I'd take one of these any time and build up the suspension/brakes and call it a day.
Most will do that anyway!


Good for you that purchased one, you can't go wrong...just break out that heat gun!
