Then there are ones like what Huskr posted. It looks like some old jalopy but, I'd be willing to bet that underneath that giant supercharger lies a real (albeit smaller) supercharger. And that the rust is carefully applied (and sanded) paint & primer to mimic decades of neglect. I wouldn't be surprised if its sitting on a modern truck chassis with an LS engine up front. And that 10 years ago, there were a couple more inches of window space around the cab.

I was being sarcastic..lol. Thanx for the info i appreciate it.

Love the matte black, not a fan of the rivet metal hoo-ha.

Theres a guy locally with one, it's a blown 572, ford 9"and runs low 10's. I'll post pics when I see him next. And that's around here. Which is shit for car enthusiasts because everyone just wants to play it safe with Camrys and 3 series BMW's lol

You can't throw in Camrys without mentioning Honda's lol.

Epic fail. Stick to bikes.

Yep. Junk!! I will keep mine..

nitto85 · 03-26-2012, 09:04 PM

Watching the show now, and googled to see if I could find pictures.

That thing is hideous.

Captain Awesome · 03-26-2012, 09:17 PM

Adding insule to injury, the car they modified is a 2012 "Musclecar". All Camaro and GM and Chevrolet badging and logos were removed prior to their work on it. They refer to it as "Musclecar" throughout the episode.

The fact they don't even call it by name is a complete turnoff (in addition to the shoddy updates they did).

They even filled in the recessed "Camaro" lettering on the panel between the taillights.

I think they put "generic" center caps on the wheels too (no bowtie).

The badges on the sides were gone, as well as the grille emblems too!

People can piss n moan over the PJD Camaro, but him/Vin dusting a Ferarri on national TV just sold 30,000 more units. [set up or not]

not one person on the planet doesn't know its a Camaro.

id assume it came debadged being ordered through that company not a dealer, or free from GM and Id bet all the Camaros they get come that way, as they turn em into TAs usually.

Blackhawk6 · 03-26-2012, 09:27 PM

Still had the Chevy emblems on the wheels...

Looks like they blanked out the interior too.

I highly doubt they come the way from Chevrolet. Why would they bother making a blank plate between the taillamps just for this company to rip out?
