Why do I immediately think of the opening scene from "Porky's" when you post a picture like that with the text "testing size" :_paranoid :D

The interior sure is red isn't it?

$427k?

DO NOT like the dash on the Motion car. The rest looks pretty nice. Prodigy looks good too.

im sorry...but the shot from the rear with the giant hole so you can see all the exhaust and rear diff looks like A$$..... i think the idea is kinda cool... the execution looks funky

It's a cool car, and a work of art. But with all art, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That being said- I REALLY dig the single stripe thing that I've been seeing on 1st gens. My car is about to be up for repaint... hmmm

11-02-2005, 09:13 PM
From what I can tell the car doesn't have a gas pedal...anyone else notice this??

Yes a lot of thought and build quality went into it...but that's just too much red for me...and I'm painting my camaro red, so you know I like red...but damn!

Yep....that pretty much sums it up.

These people are out of their minds but I'll bet they'll sell a few. Always some millionaire out there that just HAS to have the latest thing going.

It looks like a terrific car, but $427,000???!!!!!

All that money and it still ain't no 'Mule' in my book.

Heh, did you see the blurb in the current Hot Rod about this? They say, here's a Baldwin Motion Camaro if you don't have Barrett Jackson money... jeez, so it's for those poor saps who don't have $1.5Mil but have $500k to spend? Poor guys...

Ok, they'll sell one to Leno, Reggie Jackson and a 1/2doz professional atheletes....then what?

did anyone notice how far back the motor sits in this thing? I wonder what kind of suspension/frame they used for this car.
ProdigyCustoms
11-04-2005, 07:29 PM
they are building 12 only. The frame is 2 X 3 boxed tubing, with C5 suspension and a Viper diff. C5 front also. Funny thing is about 6 months ago I had someone contact me to build the ultimate Camaro, and I disclosed my C5 / Viper combo. And shazam, my buyer vanished and this thing appears. Maybe I am not the only one that could dream this up, whatever. We will do it much improved, narrowed and a nice wheel lip.

Personally, I think Kris' renderings from the magazines look MUCH better than the final product. I'm not really liking much about that car at all, especially the ugly dash and the wheels with no lip. Good ideas on the car, poor execution in my opinion. The price is laughable too

Guys, the pictures of this car do not do it the justice it deserves. If you saw it in person I'm sure most of you would have a much different opinion. Sure, there are a few things I would've done differently, but overall this car is killer. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Larry and Joel from Motion were kind enough to stop the rotating display and allow me to go up on it, get ultra close and take some detailed pictures. Plenty more pitcures (and video :D ) coming soon. :thumbsup:

Not in my world.

I'm sure they'll drop the price just for you though. ;)

The reality of this car is that it isn't for everyone and I'm sure they got into the project knowing that. It's a car built solely for collectors to buy and the average guys like you and me to sit back and complain about and criticize from the comfort of our office chairs.

Another bit of reality, despite a few things here and there, the car got GREAT feedback. It even won the GM Design Award for "Best GM Vehicle," so I reckon we did something right with the design. Though I wanted deep dish rear wheels...

You might be right I assumed 69 of them......I hope for there sake it is 12!

12 of the "Super Coupes" and then a set of 24 (I believe) Phase III cars that will be priced to compete with Foose's Camaro.

Did you see the car in person?

One prototype (pictured) to be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson then 12 more built as Supercars. Then a set of 25 Phase III cars.

By the way, they've already sold 3-5 of the Supercars.

Any pictures reguardless of how good they are, cannot truely describe this car and how wicked it is. There is not a detail on this car that has not had some sort of serious attention. Nothing has been missed. Like it or not this car was awesome.
