Oh my God! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Cool Camaro but I think is quite exceeded. Japanese cars are more suitable for this extreme body works. And, what about the performance?

The car looks like the Fast and the Furious eclipse. The paint job is not right for the car. He has take of the spoiler..

Cool car... :shock:
Although a bit too extreme for my tastes. :P

Yeah quite overdone (even coming from a true Camaro fan!)

LOL a camaro owner who wish he had a prelude! dam thats one funny car, can't believe someone would just ruin a perfectly nice car like that

what about the performance?


none :cry:

i'm sure a Z/28 has some grunt. But yeah, that looks exactly like the eclipse from fast and furious. And it is very over done. Very strange.

none :cry:

So, do you mean that is just an oversized Camaro that has no mechanical, real-deal tuning?
This reminds me of a memorable quote from jimkk: "a true show-off but no-go"... or something like that :P

I think you meant, "all show and no go"

which is my feeling on that ugly-ass camaro...don't get me wrong, hell, I almost bought a Z28, but that color, and the fact that none of that money was spent on that V8 pisses me off..

What year of Camaro did you almost buy and why didn't you?

omfg......a poser ricer maro.....
thats a first :o :o :o

omfg......a poser ricer maro.....
thats a first :o :o :o

my exact thoughts lol

omfg......a poser ricer maro.....
thats a first

Did you just call me a poser, or worse yet a ricer??? If not, better say something...

Anyways...I almost bought a 1998 Camaro Z28,black, 5 speed? or were they 6 in 98??? Anyways...It's strange, if I had listened to my dad and not gotten my Ford Probe the previous winter, I would've had enough for the Z28, which, irks me everyday, because it's right around the corner...But it wasn't for sale until recently...goddamn...either way, I still like my car... 8)

N/M...just realized what "maro" is...sorry

1998's are not bad... how much?

N/M...just realized what "maro" is...sorry

rofl...

thats sad a camaro

whatever, to each his own. it's not like someone messed my car. let people do what they want to do with their money and time as long as it doesn't hurnt anyone or take up any of my time and money :roll:

...quite a correct statement! :D

Ok, the camaro was $4000, and I spent 1600 on my car, and about 3000 more for the stuff I've done to the current date, including new tires a few days ago...yay...

:shock: that spoiler is totally wrong. :roll:

not bad... but you might as well have gotten the Camaro in the first place lol... 4600 vs 4000? lol... probably not even as fast... what car do you have now again?

That poor Car !! :cry: I like extreme cars but OMG ! On a Camaro !? Nuh UH ! :P :!: :!:

This seems to be the trend with alot of domestics these days. I tend to see alot more Mustangs, Camaros, etc. with huge spoilers which server no purpose at all except add weight to the car.

Ok, a while ago someone asked for stats on this car.

Engine: LT1 V-8 (same engine used in the corvette of the time)
Horsepower: 275
Torque: 325 ft.lbs. (i think)
0-60 performance: 5.3 seconds
1/4 mile time: 14 seconds flat
Top speed (govener limited): 108mph. But has been clocked at 150 with the govner off.
Price: about $19,000

Just for giggles, this is the performance of the Skyline GT-R R34
Horsepower: 276
Torque:216ft. lbs.
0-60 performance: 5.2 seconds
1/4 mile time: i think probaly really high 13's
Top speed: 155mph
Price: $89,500

(stats for the skyline from www.rsportscars.com)

What your paying for it high end engineering and super build quality. Consider this; The GT-R 34's engine displacement is 126 cubic inches while the LS1 V-8 has 350! Thats very close to three times the displacement! Somehow they managed to get less horse power and merrely 109 more lb-ft of torque. See? Another example of of Japanese high quality engineering vs. cheap, American, low quality engineering. Factor in that the handling of a GT-R 35 is in another dimension compared to the Camaro and the prices are well justified. :wink: Resale value = solid build quality, you should also consider how fast the Camaro loses this value comapred to the Skyline.... :mrgreen:

(oh, there was a top speed given of 155 mhp for the Skyline and I was wondering what it's top speed was with the govener off :P just to be fair)

i'm not saying the skyline isn't worth it. I'm just stating that it has almost the same performance as the Z/28. Note: the sklyine also has alot of help from it's twin turbos.

I did it again! sorry, I tend to ovveract if you haven't noticed. Yeah, twin turbo definitly is its saving grace. It's barely faster than the Z/28 and costs just below five times as much. There's just so much more than 0-60 times and straightline performance when I consider the value of a car though. You're paying the 19k for brute power from an engine that could be much better, lcheaper materials, a body with more twist than a comparatively shoddy build quality. You could say a carboard box and four wheels with a 3 cylinder engine that has 2 second 0-60s and costs $5 and say it's funny because it costs like 140k for a Lingenfelter Vette that has barely faster times in much the same manner. :?

Wow! I just did it again after apologizing for it! I think I'm gonna change my screen name to "Chemically_Imbalanced83" :lol:

a cardboard box that can stay together going 60 is amazing. I wish i had this cardboard box that could do 0-60 in 2 seconds. I'd glady pay the $5.

maybe you missed my point? :?

torque wins races not horsepower...

The car shown has an LT1 not LS1. The Camaro is not a sports car like the Skyline. It's like comparing apples and oranges. To be fair lets compare the LT1 Vette to the Skyline...

Vette:

Engine: LT1 V-8
Horsepower: 300
Torque: 340 ft.lbs.
0-60 performance: Less than 5 secs
1/4 mile time: Mid 13s
Top speed: 170+
Price: Cheap

Not to mention many other factors not included...

ok R34 Skyline GTR has:

2.6L inline 6-turbocharged
327Hp
293 lb-ft of torque
0-60 in 4.7
1/4 mile 13.7
top speed probebly 165+ (limited to 155mph)
pretty even somewhat, but i'l still go with the skyline

It would look better without that huge ugly spoiler, if you want a aftermarket spoiler the Wings West Commando spoiler would look ok with that body package.

Could have a low 12 car with the money spent on the body though.

The point I was trying to make was you don't need to spend an arm and a leg(unlike the one you pointed out) for a decent car and the LT1 does not suck.

Yeah and there's a lot more you can get out of a V8 than an inline-6...

Hey, if American cars were up near Japanese and European hp/liter ratios, which can be done pretty easily, the skyline's, and porsche's of the world would be sucking at our TEET...hehe...imagine, a stock, 5.7 liter "ls7"(imaginary) with 570 horsepower...STOCK...for a little over 40 grand...
Yup, TEET'S INDEED....


I just like saying "teet"...hahah 8)

i was just kidding raith. I was being sarcastic when i said i wanted the 2 second, $5 dollar box. :lol:

:lol lmao! okay! hee hee, I was taking you totally seriously! I'm such a maroon :P

It can be done but not little over 40 grand... more like 60-75 grand at least!

Aiiiight, I really didn't have a really good idea of price, but still 60-75 grand aint that bad for 550 horsepower, and of course, twin stripes on the road whenever you shift!!

haha

most definitely, then again you could get a 300 hp V8 car for like 20,000 and then supe it up urself for a like another 20-25,000!

You could get a used 99 Vette for 22k about 350hp and for 6k have a easy 480 hp ride.
Total about 28,000 or more depending how far you wanted to go with it.

we were talking new cars (I think)

Well get a 03 Cobra with basic mods you have a 500+hp car for like 3k at most.
