Agree with Flashpoint.

I don't agree with trying to make your car something it isn't. You know that day will come when someone with a real ZL1 will pull up next to you and kick your a$$. Don't pretend you have something you don't.

Same as with the 69's...so many stock noses were made into RS with hideaways...
If its because you like the look better..do it. SPEAKING OF LOOKS..Homepage has a SEXYYYYYYY camaro race version..thats the nose I want on the car!

So soon, I disagree with it, the real car is not even out yet. Now when they quit making the ZL1, go ahead and honor the ZL1 by making one. But it is just a front end (for looks), as long as they don't think or boast that they have a ZL1, I guess it is not a big deal.

Since things are kinda slow I just thought I'd explain my screen name.

Flashpoint is the lowest temperature at which a volatile material can vaporize.

135 MPH is the fastest I used to drive my original Camaro, an '84 Z28 with H.O. engine and all performance options. That speed was just too risky and obviously wrecking out would basically "vaporize" both me and the car. At that point I was also reaching the top of fifth gear and concerned I might "vaporize" the engine.

No way would I do that, I'm proud of my car, not how I roll, I just think it was funny all the SS guys were giving the V6'ers shit for putting SS front ends on and now they are all looking to put ZL1 front ends on theirs, cracks me up!

I posted in that thread, and my answer is in the quote below. Also if I ever spot a fake ZL1 with badges, I'll kindly remove them for the owner.

I'd back up any of you, but not if badges where involved.
