Looks like we may have to get ready to break this one out in every thread all over again.



Don't take that as a Disciple's confirmation of anything, this is the first any of us have seen or heard anything about this particular version of the car, or the front end attached to it.

...just throwing this out there...

Isn't Saleen involved with Tranformers? Who's to say this isn't one of his...'special editions'?
Though that thought alone makes me sick.

Nor should it. I don't even know what I think about it yet. Might be more movie prop than anything, or Saleen stuff mentioned above. I am interested to see where it goes, though.

Merchandising. They can know sell tons of Bumblebee II crap to the fans.

It's all about making a buck.

I don't have a problem with it for 2 reasons.
1. I don't see me shelling out around $50 Grand for a Camaro.
2. I think the Top Dog SHOULD have distinctive styling cues. IF I was shelling out the kind of money they are going to sell for, it BETTER stand out from the million other Camaros that are going to be on the road. Think ZR1 Corvette. Or even Z06

If that's the case then...

I may just have to settle for an SS and add the supercharger myself.

Depending on the price tag, that looks like what I'm leaning towards. That, and if it's over a year until the model comes out, I don't know if I can wait.

And if I'm not mistaken, the wheels AND calipers, etc. were fiberglass shells over steel wheels anyway. Body shells provided by GM and modified by Saleen.

Forget what color the Bowtie is cause it SHOULD be a F'in Camaro badge on there anyway. Camaros haven't had a Bowtie on the front since 1969...

On a side note i do like the larger raised cowl hood.

Me neither. Not even sort of. I even find it somewhat humorous that there is a thread on it, but oh well.
