GLIK$ Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 My step father owns a 1970 SS 454, a 67 with a supercharged 427 (880-1020 rwhp), and a 69 convertible. I grew up loving chevelles. Too bad these look like ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perhap Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 their too tall for the wheels...makes it look like this huge car on tiny wheels. and the wheel design sucks. and i hate how the lights are on a different plane than the grill.

RoofTopKilla Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 :( great idea but i think this could have gotten a way bettter makeover than it did. An the motor forgive if im wrong but it looks like there common ole run of the mill ls1 motor they seem to stick in everything now....i mean i dont knock them for trying to keep the legend alive but like the new monte carlo it lacked in a body styling that only could have come out of the 50's 60's an 70's..............the idea though of owning one of 30 of these is pretty sweet but i think chevy an ford (they kinda gave up though after bringing back the thunderbird) should just drop the whole reliving the golden age of cars an start trying to catch up to this compact car craze all the kids are raving about....i mean look at dodge an there new srt turbo neon....crazy shit. i like cars in general but im ford man but not your run of the mill mustang man lol i dunno. i have a 64 nova that im currently putting together an a 65 ford falcon that i bracket race with... the thought of them bringing the car back in the market is cool but to me pretty much all theyre doing in the end is bringing back the name an sticking it on poorly designed imposter.

johnny Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i disagree, i think the new mustangs are pretty rad. the GT/COBRA's at least. i'm not big on FORD at all either. i had a late 60's mustang and completely destroyed the car doing retarded adolescent shit.

why write? Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i like that they tried to give it a old school new school feel, but the headlights, belong where the grill is aligned too...cause that popping out grill, what the fuck is this batman car or some shit.....they did the back of the car perfect, i think the front could of been better...and i dont like the bottom too, but it was a good attempt i guess....good idea and concept, bad job putting the front together.....i rather drive the old school ver. though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyNapua Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I have to agree about the headlights but over all I really like it. There are always going to be things about something that could have been better. As for the new Mustangs....I think they are hot as hell.

Zack Morris Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 the front end needs a bit more stream line to it, it just comes off looking like the front end of a box and it completely throws off the lines. The tires and fenders look far to small on this car especially in the back due to the height of the trunk. In all honesty there could have been a much better modern chevelle created than this. It just looks generic and if I was a chevelle fan I would be almost insulted by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malibou's are pussy mobiles too now, how they could run such a great name down into the ground is pretty fuckin horrible....2 names actually, and they did it with the nova in the 80s i believe, with those shitty 4 door fuckin compact bitch piles....

Guest Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 When did the world become one gigantic DON'T? The way people look in general has been plummeting since the 60s, but it seems like the whole of culture is at an all-time aesthetic low. Women think we like fake tits and toe rings, men over 40 are still putting gel in their hair, and even your close friends can't resist tossing on some sport sandals during Spring Break. Things have gotten so bad, we're taking advice from a bald fag with expensive sunglasses wedged on his head. And it doesn't stop at pants. Everything looks like shit. Toaster ovens are available in Mac colors, ghetto blasters look like Super Soakers, furniture is just wood veneer over compressed cardboard, and even lost-cat posters have fallen victim to the ubiquitous home computer that lets every fucking retard with AIDS for a brain use Quark to show us how talentless he is. The rich are even worse. Have you ever seen Cribs? Snoop Dog's house looks like it was decorated by an Italian grandmother on welfare. They all do. Even the houses themselves are hideous. Architecture in general has become an excuse for illegal aliens to take three days obediently piling plastic and aluminum into a gigantic square of Lego. I realize the profits from cutting corners are important when a handful of corporations are making 98% of the stuff, but what's your excuse? The most graphic example of this degradation is the automobile. Remember the Chevy Nova? Shit, even corny Dad cars like the Volvo had nice square edges and looked like something a grown man should drive. Now they look like fucking cough drops. Whose idea was it to turn them into globular tears? Was it corporate greed? "No, it was a simple math mistake," says Mark Stehrenberger, the designer of the Grand Cherokee. "Back in the 60s and 70s, everyone became obsessed with ‘the oil crisis' and thought improving mileage was going to save the world. Unfortunately, an aerodynamic shape only improves mileage by five to seven percent, and that's only at Autobahn speeds. Put an aerodynamic car on American highways with American speed limits and heavy traffic, and that tiny margin of efficiency is erased." Dear old people, are you hearing this? If you want to save money on gas, stop driving. What the fuck are you doing living in LA anyway? And if you want cheap furniture, go to a garage sale. Everything about you looks like shit, so stop watching home makeover shows. If you want to see real design, check out the makeshift knife in your son's pants. Or the roach traps poor people make. Shit, just take a look at our living room. It's a thousand times nicer than yours, and we're broke.

SteveAustin Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 eh, I'm not really feeling the design either. It doesn't seem to flow very well. I especially don't like the headlights in that flat recessed area with that cow guard front grill. And how about the wheels? blah. I think it looks more like a 1970's designer took an old chevelle and built a concept car of what we'd be driving in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
