Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[Team THRT Drift]

The red Camaro is not a COPO.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Didn't get any confirmation in the car spotters chat on what trim this was, so I'll go ahead and post it. More so because of the driver's face and less because of the car.

Lol what chat?

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, yeah, so resto-mod, but still an amazing car. And in case you didn't know, Montana plates=very serious collector, and expensive car. Probably at least a $60,000 Camaro.

I'd answer your question but I have to tend to my:

And in case you didn't know, Montana plates=very serious collector, and expensive car.

I'm confused by this statement. I once saw a Honda Civic from Montana and I'm pretty sure he didn't collect them nor was it expensive.

Interesting read. Not really sure why you imply that I was supposed to know that information, but I'm not a license plate guru so that's ok.

Still doesn't mean it's expensive or that person is a collector. Normal people live in Montana too, you know.

This was in the shop today. As far as we know it's the first one delivered in Southern California to an actual customer. We'll be doing a bunch of product development for it.

Also, I got a ride in it. It's fast, especially at the low end and midrange thanks to turbo torque. Not sure if it's faster than our 4.6 stroker E92 but it's pretty close.

Sorry but why only one pic of it?

My dad has a friend (who lives here) whose Ferrari has...you guessed it, Montana plates.

Can confirm: Lots of Ferrari owners out here in Utah have Montana plates.

What a load of rubbish. Fieros suck, but that looks pretty convincing to someone who doesn't know anything about cars

Kinda waiting to put them up on our page and also didn't want to bomb flickr with them. Here's another, though.

Kinda missed focus there. Honestly I was under the car shooting technical stuff for the most part, just grabbed a few snaps while I was at it. The important part was getting good pics of the suspension, exhaust, turbos, brakes, etc.

Nice interior too, by the way. Very similar to the E92 but just cleaned up a bit.

At the mechanic in front of my neighborhood:

Anyone know what those wheels are? Perhaps @Slash would know?

Looks like Camaro wheels.

 

[Slash]

Iroc Z wheels off a third gen Camaro.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I thought they looked like Camaro wheels but I didn't want to say anything. Thanks!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I know somebody asked for more pictures of this Celica GT at work, like, forever ago, so here ya go. Don't remember who asked but there ya are. Finally managed to get a good pic.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

:/

A slightly less bad picture of the light blue Mini Cooper JCW that I saw a few weeks back.

A Sti at a the Ford dealer's customer parking area.

My only time seeing a new Dodge Charger R/T Daytona in the wild.

My first 2014 Dodge Charger SRT-8 in the wild, I was guessing it was a more current SRT-8 due to the 392 badge I saw on it.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Found out about an auto repair shop I've never seen.

Dodge Van:

MGB while walking

I have no idea what this is.

Rambler. The owner of the repair shop came out and talked to me about it. Nice guy. 👍

 

[ildd]

I love the back of the Rambler so much

 

[Tyger]

What a load of rubbish. Fieros suck, but that looks pretty convincing to someone who doesn't know anything about cars

Easy way to spot a Countach kit is that the panel gaps are smaller

 

[playnthru]

Rambler Marlin.

Just two from this morning.

 

[ildd]

There's a repair shop on this road that had been there for years, but over the past 6 months or so their business has exploded. They've had some really nice cars in, and I think the owner/a mechanic drives an Impala SS (I've posted before). Coming home, I saw these two cars. Apparently "Robins Egg Blue" (Thanks @Slash) is very rare; I myself never knew it existed.
And I rarely see a Foxbody, let alone in this good of shape, so I didn't crop it out.

And on the opposite side was this convertible Beetle

A little dien the road, I saw a shiny Mercedes with an AMG bumper sitting in a parking lot. I was skeptical but made the uturn anyways. Was glad I did.

Edit-Just noticed the foxbody has a very similar plate as me

 

[Slash]

Yup it definitely looks like Robins Egg Blue to me, not a lot of Mustangs in that color. The first Mustang I ever saw in person was a 1967 GT fastback in that color

 

[Minty]

There rare special editions of cars that are normally not-so-rare were parked with 50' of each other by the mall after I watched How To Train Your Dragon 2:

Probably one of the few times a V6 Camaro will ever show up in one of my posts.


And two Nismos in such a close proximity was amazing, considering I've never seen either of them in the wild before:

I wish I would have had time to leave a not telling him he doesn't need that front plate on there, because it really takes away from the looks.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw this jag xk today.

Spotting wasn't the best today.

So I just learned that "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing, for some strange reason.


Also, I forgot this ZL1 to make up for the V6-ness of the Transformers Camaro:
