Shooting Brake Vs. Station Wagon
Now, you might be saying to yourself, “shooting brakes sound an awful lot like station wagons.” And, in truth, you’d be correct. In fact, if you look up shooing brake in the dictionary, it is literally defined as a “station wagon.” So, how does one tell the difference?
Unfortunately, that’s not such an easy problem to tackle, as there technically isn’t a difference between the two. Some might say that station wagons are 4-door whereas shooting brakes feature 2, but there are plenty of shooting brakes over the years that have had 4-doors. You might also hear that station wagons are typically more boxy and family-friendly than shooting brakes. And while that’s generally true and shooting brakes are often much more sleek and sport-focused, it’s not carved in stone as fact. Truly, your best bet to tell the difference between the two is by referring to what the manufacturer and the car world at large calls the vehicle. If “shooting brake” is in the title of the vehicle or is used as a descriptor, that’s what it is.
This is where the term ‘estate car’ comes into play. In case you aren’t familiar, an estate car is pretty indistinguishable from a shooting brake, as well. The purpose of an estate car, originally, was to function much in the same manner as a shooting brake – that is, carrying a hunting party and their gear – but was also refined enough for city travel and transport. Now, however, shooting brakes are pretty exclusively road-going vehicles (albeit most often with a sporty style and performance), so the distinction is null and void. What is a bit helpful, however,

How is this an "off topic" thread when it's about a CAMARO?

SMH.

Maybe because that atrocity ain’t no Camaro. Take a perfectly beautiful car and make a soccer mom grocery getting Girl Scout cookie delivery service snot nose midget transporter out of it? Dafuq?

I kinda like it. I think the zl1 would look better as a wagon with the more aggressive front bumper

I was at a car show in Stanley N.Y. The show was at a Tech school. I have the same car IBM 2011 1SS/RS. But mine isn't going to be a wagon. When I first saw it I said what the Hell. But the guy did an awesome job. I talked to him for about an hour. The car is very well done and I think in very good taste.
This was not a cob job by no means.
