Choppin' Competition 14 - Chevrolet Camaro Concept

[Northstar]

Well, I've finally gotten off my lazy butt and decided to start a new comp. I got a little burned out from the comps and haven't had much free time with basketball to keep them going. Anyways...

Welcome to Choppin' Competition 14!

Your task is to chop the photo provided below in any way you want. Change the wheels, background, etc.

Please resize your entries to 768 pixels wide.

Please copy + paste the link below into your browser (clicking it will not work) and download the pic:

Also, I realize the angle is not necessarily the most common angle for chopping, so if lots of people object to it I will select a different pic in a more natural angle.

Good shot of my favorite car ever.

I think this chop contest will (hopefully) get more enteries than the Solstice coupe concept one did. I got an idea on what I'm gonna do for this.

This should be fun...

[Flybrian]

Now featuring prizes!

This competition's winner will recieve a Chevrolet keychain that, while it doesn't morph like this is cool nonetheless.

[Fijian]

***raises hand****

whens it due????

[NOS2006]

Ooh, I can use a Chevy Keychain. I already have one that says "Camaro"

Perfect!

[Northstar]

There's no deadline right now (which is why I didn't post one) but I'd like to have it over with in about a week or 10 days.

[NOS2006]

I hope you guys are getting something ready.. Because I've got a winner so far!

[BuddyP]

I might jump back in on this one, if I can find some time

[NOS2006]

You better!

[wilde1988]

This is my first post, but I decided to give it a try

[NOS2006]

Cool idea, wilde, and welcome!

[Sixty8panther]

Hello Wilde, welcome!

I'll have my chop done shortly... I just started last night & am almost half done.

Okay, here it is as promissed:

In a perfect world (I know this will not happen) the Camaro owuld hit the streets fall of this year, say Sept. 29th :wink: There would be much hoop-la about the 40th Anniversary. The 2007 and 2008 models would be exactly like the concept... but in the mean time for MY2009 a minor refresh (as depicted by me) would give the 5.1 gen an even more 1969-like face and fenders.

Here's what I changed: (top to bottom)

* eliminated double-bubble roof

* deleted the ram-air style scoop, it's redundant w/ the cowl induction since air is taken in at the base of the winshield

* changed the bowtie from gold to blue, it's a car not truck!

* moved the headlights inboard like on the 1969 Camaros

* removed the blinkers from inside the grille wraparound header panel

* deleted high mounted side marker light

* replaced fat round wheel arches wiht horizontal "speed lines" ala '69

* cut down the height of the "air intake" behind the door, functional brake cooling ducts like on the Z06

* inboard blinkers that hang low in the front fascia just like on a '69

* added blinker/foglight cluster low in the corner of the bumper cover

* grahite-onyx rims

[Camaroman22]

nice idea, 68, but i think that's just what the designers of the 5th gen were tryin to get away from: too much retro. whatever floats your boat though.

Hey Camaroman.......nice, but flare the fenders more ala Corvette, fastback the roofline, and cut back the front area where the parking lights are!!!!!!! Will look for your magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuel_sipping]

Wow... first off, since when did the chopping thread become so popular again?

Its nice see the participation.

Nice one camaroman, I kinda like that look. It looks more modern but is still distinctively camaro. Maybe the reverse scoop thing was taking it a little far but it adds boldness.

Thats a nice flaming chicken too NOS. lol

Sixty8, Very Retro :AH-HA_wink:

Edited February 21, 2006 by fuel_sipping

[Sixty8panther]

Yeah..... after not looking at it for a few hours, seeing the speed lines comming off the wheel arches look horrible. I'm still very much in favor of the inboard headlights and less pronounced rea quarter "gills".

[gt1750]

I might enter this one too. When's the deadline?

[NOS2006]

It's still TBA.. so get choppin'!

[gt1750]

It's still TBA.. so get choppin'!

I can't start chopping before Sunday evening. If the deadline's going to be set on Wenesday - Thursday, then it's OK for me.

[Ravenfreak13]

^My entry

I:

-took out the foglights and put vents there.

-added 2 more headlights due to lack of foglights.

-rounded out the front.

-took the horizontal bar out of the grill.

-put turning lights in the side mirrors.

-removed the vents at the very bottom of the front bumper.

-removed the hole in the hood.

I call it, "Less is more."

thanks for the suggestions, but i'm done with this one .

[gt1750]

Here's mine. I modified just few things the way I'd like the new Camaro to look.

Mods: lowered, different mask with LED lights, raised hood, modified wheels, sidepipes, SS emblems, color change.

[04monteintimidator]

wow... gt that thing is sexy... there are some real good chops in here this is gunna be a close one

[99camaroSS]

oh sweet lord GT that is damn sexy, it just makes me want to go sing "long cool woman in a black dress" by the hollies

"My temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress

Just a 5-9 beautiful tall

With just one look I was a bad mess

'Cause that long cool woman had it all"

after seeing that chop I have a feeling my camaro will be ordered in a deep black

[T-O-X-I-C]

[Camaroman22]

it is a split grill, look closely, it's just that it's recessed, so it's not as obvious.

[04monteintimidator]
