    I hope to God those bits aren't from an original 327.


    I also hope this car has a 327 swapped in, so you can have one answer for "what's it got" and "what is it".


    Really, the only thing that bugs me is the original back window. I'd totally rock this in any shade of black or grey.

    In case the "design" wasn't enough of an affront to the eyes, the choice of exterior color to compliment the red interior must have been contrived to finish the job.

    I think it would have been interesting to show us the first pic and have us guess what lies beneath.


    I would never have guessed Camaro (omitting the fabulous red GM interior of course).


    But knowing what it is, well, it's breaking hearts in New Jersey and Bavaria.

    The WTF red interior is definitely the finishing touch on this masterpiece.

    I like it, actually.


    And there is no atrocity that could be visited upon a Camaro of which I would not wholeheartedly approve.

    None of you seem to have any imagination at all. I think it's well done. All you have to do is imagine the outside painted either all black or gun metal gray, and the interior charcoal. Now also imagine any current BMW, and this thing looks better all the time.


    Plus, and extra bonus feature: No real prick would ever own this creation.

    As much as I persist in hating them on general principles, I think this is a bad thing to do to BMW's image.


    Wouldn't it be eminently more awesome to take a 5-series and dress it up as a Camaro?

    Finally, Zimmer owners have something that they can point at and laugh.

    Is that what happened to the designer of the excalibur. I was wondering where he moved to.

    @fodder650: OK, them's fightin' words! The late, great Brooks Stevens didn't hit a home run every time but there's no way he should be mentioned in the same dialogue as this atrocity.
