Bill Thomas Camaro Rumor?

Has anybody heard about the Rumor of some 5th Gen's being built by Bill Thomas Motorsports the same guy that designed the Cheetah in the 60's? Supposedly it's going to use the 427 LS7 and be built with a completely carbon fiber body.

I'm not sure if it's true but Bill Thomas did make a 4th Gen too so it's possible...

I designed my own version of what I hope it looks like...

Nice sketch!

I like it a lot...just not a fan of that back wing...from the side shot, it looks as if it has a line that doesn't flow with the rest of the car.

Great job though!

You have some artistic skill but loose the wing or use something more subtle.

I would opt for a different spoiler but over all great sketch.

Nice maybe a little busy the wing needs to be more subtle The ZR-1 side scoops maybe a little much

With a full carbon fiber body it will probably cost more than a ZR-1.

That's amazing. It'll cost more than a ZR1 for sure, though. This is only a rumor, so don't get too excited.

You should design a Camaro body kit and sell it.

COmpanies like Mallett will put a put a 7.0 crate motor in a Sky or Solstice, if you have the bucks, I am sure they could slide on in a Camaro...They do a package on the 7.0 that cranks it up to 750 hp and 700 ftlb...All it takes is a lot of cash...
