Pretty cool! How much would it cost to get one without that hideous steering wheel?

MTMTE · 06-27-2011, 09:32 AM

I told the wife, the only way I am selling this car is to buy another transformers edition camaro. If I'm gonna do it, it's gonna be a ZL1 edition. If not I'm good with what I got.

I will just put this here.

That color makes the car !!! Anyone thats absolutely wanting the sunrise gold , we are offering a full color change from any color to HOK sunrise gold (bumblebee color) for additional $7800. I know this seems like alot , and it would be ALOT easier and cheaper do it on the line because the entire car is already stripped and de trimmed. This entails removing doors, trunk , hood , fenders, bumpers, glass and everything else we can take off the car , We even spray the engine bay after removing everything. Anyone interested in this please pm , and we can discuss more options , from supercharger , interior to full exterior rebuild including custom rear vented quarter panels.

I am a hardcore Transformers fan, and I will not be purchasing this; I'm getting a RY ZL1 instead.

After watching the Ultimate Factories edition on the Camaro and seeing/hearing that they can pain the cars any color without changing out the spray guns, I am disenchanted to see they couldn't be bothered to change the color to Sunrise Gold. That much closer to an original Bumblebee might have warranted a $3k price tag.

Changing the stitching yarn from orange to yellow doesn't.

I dig the wheels, but without the Sunrise, it's just black wheels on a RY camaro. They didn't even de-badge the quarters, though that is forgivable.

The rest, as they say, is a $995 option.

I like it, I think it looks wild.

It would have warranted a $10k price tag on a car that already costs $23-40k.

But half-assing a car, slapping a name on it from a movie with a wing and some wheels + a little bit of stitching seems like an insult to those of us that actually liked Transformers before it showcased this car.

It's already too much $$$ for what you get.

If it had the correct hood, vents, body kit, color, wing and front fascia -- then I'd consider it..

AUS10BMX · 06-27-2011, 10:00 AM

The stripes should be painted I hope... And really its only getting the spoiler, and yellow stitching. Still the same badges and center caps etc. It looks sweet but.. yeah. I was really hoping they would up the ante on this package.

If you get it, we'll swap steering wheels... you can have mine!

If they had this version out in 2009, 90% I would have gotten this one.

No kidding! I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone state this before... I know its a mass production thing, but just think if you could get any color you wanted if the person was willing to pay extra. And I'm sure a lot of people would pay that difference to have a certain color. Seeing how they paint them is so easy.

It looks better than the first edition did. However I wish they would offer it in correct color even if its an upcharge. If I were in the market for one I wouldn't buy it for that reason. I do like the car though.........
