Don't blame me, just the messeger

Pure heresy

Looks to me like yet another Camaro "rendered" to look like a classic. This has no Roadster to me, and is an ugly mash up of nothing.
I decidedly don't like it! :)

I like it! Imagine that with the BRE livery paint job (or maybe even Denim Black or a muted Grey). It’s both different and interesting - I’d buy it!

A non-Roadster friend just texted the link to me... I'm undecided.

That new thing is god awful, looks like a Camaro had a baby with some mutant Dodge......Idiotic oversized wheels too. ugh, make it go away. As said above, "Hard Pass"

As for the z32's.....awesome cars...the VG can be a little busy regarding maintenance (I've owned 3 NA and 1 TT), but what a fun solid, incredibly reliable car. As much power as you can afford from the TT-stupid fast,....Still a beautiful design....Well said Rob!

Nope! The front end is completely wrong. The headlight scoops are something that can be seen in both the 311 and the z; but not here. It’s just wrong. This was done by a person who likes 311’s, but is not a true 311 enthusiast.
