They do strange things to our cars in other countries (post pics)

I decided to make a new topic, similar to the "post a pic of the most amazing 4th gen" topic. This time, here are the rules:

1. The car must be an F-body or Corvette, no other makes/marques, and must be from some country other than the US.

2. This is NOT a topic like ls1tech's post a pic of cheezy f-bodies, so NO PICTURES OF JUST RANDOM UGLY RICERS AND CRAP.

3. The car must be unusual--meaning weird body panels or maybe it's super cool looking. Doesn't matter. It just can't look stock.


I'll start. This Firebird is in Switzerland (as far as I know) and... it IS indeed a Firebird as far as I can tell...

This baby looks like it has exhaust similar to the design of a Lamborghini Murcielago's. Don't know for sure, but it looks like the body has been shaved.

Didn't expect to see a Callaway Corvette at a Swiss car show, muchless a two-tone one.


Minty.



I've never seen these ground effects, what are they?

I can't place what country it was from to search for it though. Did you ever see it? I think I may have posted about it here. I think one feature of it was a carbon fiber halo.

I think you're right, the bumper threw me off because of the center part that has that distinctive Firebird look to it.

Sadly I didn't find very much good stuff in my search through these Swiss galleries... Some of this stuff may need to be removed by me later, but I wanted to inspire people to post stuff.

I remember a gold and green Firebird from Poland with an Integra looking rearend, but no purple one.

This is the "Greenwood" body kit and is fairly common around race tracks.

F*** yeah! I found the car I was talking about. Took 45 minutes of my time at work, but I found it!

It's all hand fabricated bodywork on it. I think it looks really menacing, cool, and ugly all at the same time.

I see what he was going for on that green Camaro, and I think it would have looked cool if it was executed a little better. The bumper is too low if you ask me, otherwise it'd be cool.

Here's a Japanese Camaro. I'm sure this one has been posted before. If not, I'm sure you've seen it. I'll post it's many revisions.







Edit: Cardomain link for *** Camaro. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/487275

I remember that purple one now, but SHEESH that Turkish one looks like something from the nightmares I had that one time I ate Turkish food!

Here's the Polish (Poland) firebird: click for larger pics







Don't laugh too hard at this one, you and I both know that deep down in our hearts, we wish we had our dash covered in leather like that (just not yellow).
