Could you still sling that car if you wanted to? Does anybody know? Obvious hatred aside...how much of a run could it make without falling apart?

I think we should hand that chunk of pig vomit over to our tame racing driver and see for ourselves how it handles going around our track.

With those wheels, I can guarantee it will run as bad as it looks!

I would love to put a racer behind the wheel just to see what happens. Remember when you were a kid and you would launch fireworks at people just to see if they would catch on fire? That is what I want to do with that car.

Somebody get that thing to the track!

While this is not what I would do to mine (wheels and color), there are some cool features to this Camaro. I give kudos to the builder (not the designer/owner) as they did a great job.

Agreed.

Don't blame the shop for their paying customer's poor taste - or more likely a desire for outrageous shock value.

It's OK to appreciate the workmanship that I assume is present while hating the final product itself.

A FAKE ZL1 that has 653 speakers, 81 televisions, wheels as tall as the average 9th grader and is styled inside and out with a University of South Florida theme...man, this thing is AWESOME! At least they were smart enough to realize the car would need to be supercharged in order to move those wheels and tires that weigh 587 pounds a piece.

Thats such a pass the buck cop out. Like someone removed choice from the equation. Yeah he had no choice...OR he could have said I dont want to put my company's name on something that effing hideous so go find someone else to do the work.

Someone came in and asked my tattoo artist to tattoo some lame ass geometric angel on him and he said NO I dont want people to know I did that...same principle.

You know the saying.. opinions are like assholes
Yea but it is an educated, experienced "opinion".
I sincerely hope the Camaro is the product of an Apple stock dividend windfall.

I personally think it is hideous but you cant compare a business owner turning down a $multi\$multi big buck job to a tattoo artist turning down a tattoo job!
Not sure it's in the same ball park! Now the owner who wanted this done should be stoned to death!

Hey it's their money and their reputation, but we keep giving them publicity by posting 813's eyesores and talking about them.
