Underwear bunching up on you a bit???

I don't mind it. I think it's great that there are a bunch of folks with money to throw at the hobby. I think it will help get more regular folks interested and keep the wackos from forcing everyone to drive hybrids!

No. It is the 427 Corvette kit that Motion Performance intends to market.

I'll withdraw my comments... Too much time on my hands.

Looks pretty tight !

http://www.officialbaldwinmotion.com/home.htm


"To turn my dream into reality, I'm working with top stylist/designer, Kris Horton, legendary engine builder, Bill Mitchell who built original Baldwin-Motion supercars at Motion Performance and built and drove our record-setting 1968 Motion Supercar Club A/MP Camaro race car, and Mike Staveski and Phil Somers at Time Machines, Inc. (Hudson, FL), one of the top Musclecar coachbuilders in the country."

"Since each new Baldwin-Motion Camaro will be built to order, there will be a full menu of luxury and performance options for purchasers to choose from, including 'boosted' engines to 1,000 horsepower. Bragging rights are standard," added Rosen.

Sorry you withdrew your post. (I think) I was very turned off when I saw the description of these cars. Sounds like a very expensive way to go vs building something yourself. I guess for someone with lots and lots of money and no imagination it might be a good thing.

L88 hood looks pretty badass on a Camaro. Something you don't see too often.

I agree looks like a Foose car, not really that spectacular in the first place, lower it and put a set of shiny 20 inch rims and your done
