Rendered Speculation: how will you tune the Camaro?
Click above for a high resolution image
With sales of the 2010 Chevy Camaro starting in the first quarter of 2009, it's inevitable that a variety of tuner versions will be popping up left and right. Deviant Art member Morfiuss decided that was too long to wait and beat everyone to the punch with his photoshopped rendition of a Hamann Camaro. We think he did a stellar job, penning in a new front fascia, side skirts, flared fenders, 20-inch rims, and gullwing doors that depict what Hamann would probably do if they got their hands on a Camaro. It's not likely to happen, but it does beg the question -- how would you tune the Camaro? Would you build a Euro-style version similar to the Hamann, or how about an all-out drag racer set for ten second time slips? Our pick? A street/track version styled after the Mark Donohue's Penske Camaro that was so dominant in the Trans-Am series in the late 1960's.

I'm pretty sure it will be tuned just like the new Mustang was, in eleventy billion different ways, and autoblog will run a new post on each and every different freaking version. I can't wait, it'll be so awesome.

I would buy an SS and keep it stock. In a few years, if I had the $$, I could pick up a used Camaro and send it to Lingenfelter for a horsepower make-over.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get one on my Ducati.

Butterfly doors. The article called them gullwings, you called them scissor. They're butterflies.
Lambo's have scissors, and DMC-12's have gullwings.

That's a horrible pshop! The front bumper, fender, door, mirror, essentially the whole car aside from the front grill is BMW!

I seem to recall a pic like this. I thought 6 series from window back the second i saw it

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that the only Chevrolet piece on that car is the grille and headlights.

Is it bad that I like the widebody style at the rear? Flat sheetmetal in front of the rear tire, arch and taper at the rear...

Yes because what you're looking at doesn't actually exist. That sheet metal is something else entirely.

I would mod it by buying a Challenger and not a Camero.

or better yet, one of each...
TJ 2:05PM (9/05/2008)
Maybe you will do that only because your local yellow pages doesn't show a listing for the local Chavrolee dealership to buy your Camero
I'll definitely go and drive a Camaro when it hits the lots though.

Good god, you guys are going to get lynched by an angry mob a muscle car enthusiasts. You don't rice out a muscle car...ever. The wheels can stay as long as there's a set of drag radials in the garage. Leave the body alone, unless the hood needs to be bulged to accommodate a blower. Add a straight-pipe exhaust system so the eardrums of passers-by explode from the sound of 15,000 voracious lions roaring in unison every time you feather the throttle. That's how you tune a Camaro.

Heads, cam, intake, corsa exhaust and tune.

Sorry, but the one dimensional muscle car types can kiss my a**. I'll take the TransAm route and modify it into the proper road racer.
