IMHO, the "Z/28" is a mythical white unicorn craping rainbows. 550 HP in that heavy of a car won't hold a candle to the gt500. GM needs to concentrate on returning my tax dollars instead of building a limited production special edition of the crudmaro!

Moved.

Yeah, if they haven't changed anything on it...its heavy, but it can move and produce some nice numbers. (remember this car was pretty much done a while ago, but was shelved and not finished testing)
Handle though... we'll see.

Thanx. That was the oldy goldie photoshop work here was the later ones........







^ Changed the foglights to HID type and to look more fitting with the current chevy lineup.
And the HRE wheels that I used on the quick Gt350 chop (used from this pic, lol).
And it has a Bumblebee V2 inspired style hood (because I noticed 2010 Camaro guys have this childhood like cling to Bumblebee), except the scoop starts on the front bumper and the air tunnel is held in the hood

Made it to a few blogs a few weeks later.

It's 'crapping'. 'Craping' is the verb form of 'crape', which is a weird morph of 'crepe' which is one of these things:

A black armband of mourning (or in Japan, protest)
The material of choice, whether it's paper or cloth, has a crinkled look to it.
A delicious breakfast food when done right.

Yet and still, it was such a visual image, I just... had... to find out... I know, I'm odd, but that's normal for me.

Therefore, I did a GIS for '+rainbow +craping +unicorn'. I didn't find anything, even when using the various forms of 'crepe' and such. I found rainbow unicorns, and rainbow crepe material, but not the visual depicted.

So then I changed the word: 'unicorn crapping rainbow'... and lo and behold, there they were... idn't them thar intarwebs amazin'?..:

Depends on how you define "rebadged"? The F5 is based on a different platform, but borrowing components where they can from the CTS-V isn't nessecarily a bad thing, especially the track package brakes.
