To each their own but just seeing that they offer a high wing spoiler for such a beautiful car makes me wanna

I agree with most of your opinions, but this is another generation creating fad's just like we did back in the day... air shocks to lift the tail for N50's to clear the fenderwells, and skinny's up front. This generation is more extreme, but if they want it, someone will build it.

One thing I don't understand tho... When did they start calling wheels- rims? Even the MFG's are doing it... That's just not right

i think when they said wheels they where talking about both rims and the tires. now they brake it up because there are so many choices. at least thats what i think.

So is this a hint telling me to stop in again and take more pics?

Is there going to be enough air getting to the radiator to keep the car cool?You covered up the main intake and only left the grill opening!

yeah i am with you on the wheels being called rims. sometime i will respond with dont you want the whole wheel and i get weird looks. people should look into it the rim is what the tire mounts on to ask them to if they want the spokes to go with the rims.

ok yeah about the pic. i was not trying to say you didn't do your job and measure. i was thinking it was the angle but was giving a heads up. but other then that its looking good. what color are you going to do?

Man, that is looking killer. Do you plan to stay with the same paint scheme. I know the colors changed, but has the scheme changed as well?

I am sure mark will schime in, but with modern cooling systems, the use of aluminum and high flow electric fans, cooling is rarely an issue. Some of these fans will push 3,000+cfm.
For instance, the following is a car we built for a customer. As you can see there is very little frontal openings for air.

It is far less than what the SCAP camaro will get. The intercooler core on that supra is 5" thick. This car has never overheated or even come close and with over 1,000HP. Even with the intense heat of the huge turbo mounted in the engine bay, no overheating.

And I believe, correct me if I am wrong, but they will be using twin intercoolers located behind the larger outer lower openings.

cooling is handled by a custom rad by wizard cooling. i also made air lower catch to throw air up to the rad. no heat problems here. thank you for looking out. the color scheme should be the same but you never know till it goes on.

,Oh i know exactly what you mean, which is why i cant wait to all the companies start putting out body kits next year so i can make mine more unique
I cant wait to see the finished car...seriously....reminds me of waiting on Camaro 5 for more spy pics lol
