Its the "Killer Stance" that really sets it off. So "Pro-Touring" is now a sales
pitch. DOH!

It's within reason to still be saved from the "rear donk " tho. I've seen worse.

Lol!! Gotta love that sales pitch!!! That is some serious "stance!!!!" and "custom interior that is one for the books."
First couple pics I thought the front rims were larger than the rears.... but I guess its just the angle. They both look ridiculously large.
Somebody loved it enough to build it.

Agreed! Sometimes cars like this can be bought well and with an investment in a better suspension and wheels and tires you'd have a pretty good car.

The cars confused as to what its supposed to be, horrible rake.
Looks like they had an idea that was going well and then Xhibit from "Pimp my Ride" showed up and dropped off some ideas..

"It's hard to go wrong with certain cars. Case in point..." LOL
Reminds me of that "stink bug" stance we all strived for in the 80s with air shocks and Lakewood traction bars... but even we did it better back then!

At least the passengers in the back get a good field of view!. Stadium seating
was the key goal here! :confused59:

You can't buy that car at that price and save it. You'll be underwater the whole time. It needs a $25k sticker price.

As a marketing guy I can't stand the marketing BS used in car sales. What a joke.
My friend's car looked like that in high school only it had stock 14" wheels with 205-75s up front and N50s on slotted mags out back. I was glad when that look went away, now Pro Touring is bringing it back???
So too much weight up front, a suspension preloaded to nose dive, factory suspension parts all around, drag race ladder bars with single leafs, and big wheels make it the perfect pro touring machine. Cool.
Its the "Killer Stance" that really sets it off. So "Pro-Touring" is now a sales
pitch. DOH!
My car was advertised as pro touring 3 years ago. Trust me, there was nothing pro touring about it. More like no touring! :bang:

I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote the sales pitch for this car drives a Prius, wears black rim glasses with no prescription, drinks craft beer, has a monopoly guy moustache and can't stop talking about how much he loves bacon.
"But all of that doesn't matter when you look at this killer stance! As far as aesthetics go, this Camaro is the epitome of how a muscle car should look"
What a douche.

Looks good to me SW --- to think you could have gotten "The Dark Side" for only 30 grand more...
You know you lift the carpets and this thing is rotten all thru... Nobody could really be a car guy and drive it as is and think it's "fine" unless you also don't mind a few flaws here and there.
Do we want to take bets on the 454 being a truck take out? LOL

Looks to me like a Pro Street car that had a wheel change out. Easy enough to make it back into a Pro Street car.

Someone's got too much air in the ol Gabirel hijackers...sheesh
Looks like it used to sit better and was built or sold through Best of Show?

Good intel Dan --- But it doesn't fix the wheel combo -- or the interior - or the fact that the hood doesn't line up with the top of the fenders... and that's only the stuff that jumped out at me when I spent 45 seconds looking at it. LOL

I think I'd rather have the diesel Nova or the ol ford ramp truck....money ahead on either one.

Gees you guys are harsh....
Without that stance the owner wasn't able to convince his cousin to go on a date with him....once he got the killer stance nailed it was all good.

That's what happen when you have a kid with your cousin. It tears the fabric of the space-time continuum and creates a parallel universe. 1985 becomes 2015 and 2015 becomes 1985.

Think i'd just let a little air out of the rear shocks, or at least take the 4" "stensions" off
No offense meant to the Clampett family :lmao:

"nicely done trunk, you'll be ready for your weekend trip with the ability to take all your bags and head to your local car show".
I don't think there will be much room for your bags after you fit your 10' step ladder in there, and once you throw the ladder in how the hell are you supposed to get it out?:EmoteClueless:
