Introducing "Klaus"....... (Now with MORE pictures and short VIDEO!)

Front Page News!

Nothing will ever take the place of my beloved "Thor" - (....and I'm not sure I can say why other than "Thor" 'spoke' to me, so to speak -- he had a completely different 'feeling' than "Helios" - "Apollo" -- "Thor V 2.0 -- etc)

-- I dunno - mebbe he was the symbol of rebirth......whatever, his new Owner who lives in Pennsylvania has a real treasure....)


Anywhoo........

"Klaus" is a CTF unit owned by the Performance Car Team - he's "European" meaning that he was built for markets within the European Union. There are many under-the-skin differences as well as some that aren't under the skin.....

From the outside, headlamp washers, specific side mirrors (really big!) with integral turn signals and running lights -- tow hook cutouts, and of course, a very different taillamp appearance. I know some were horrified when the pics of a yellow one appeared on the internet - but let me say that the appearance in person is much better (...isn't it always??) and I like it! (I came up behind him a week ago on an interstate - another member was driving him - and I was captivated by the difference that the taillamps and spoiler make......)

No OnStar.....

Radio is in different Hz -- and of course the Speedometer is in Kilometers --

He's an LS3 tuned for the european market (fuel) -- and of course, he's ALL CAMARO!!!

I'll only have him for a short period of time - but I'm very much looking forward to every mile!










and at night........

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

The tail lights are kind of cool looking and the three piece spoiler adds a nice touch too.

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

So the reverse lamps are built into there too? Lets see the signals. They are amber right?

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

The spoiler is just too much, IMHO. Not sure I'm digging the taillights either, but they don't stand out as badly as the giant spoiler.

EDIT: Actually, the brakelights look pretty cool when illuminated.

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

Will Euro spec Camaro's all have the dovetail spolier?

I like the LED look of the tail lights but the design of the US Camaro tail light looks better. Mix the LED with the US spec tail lights and we might have something.

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

I like the tail lights. The spoiler not so much from what I can tell here. It looks like a 2nd Gen spoiler enlarged and grafted on...

Something like the 69 spoiler





SLP spoilers come close but for some reason they seem to bow backwards instead of being flat across like it should be. I cant tell if this is just the style or a necessity to conform to the trunk...

Re: Introducing "Klaus".......

the tail lights would benefit from a blackout kit, they look too much like Elton Johns glasses
