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

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...

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

I'm pretty sure that's a second gen. Ford Probe.

Edit: I recall seeing a Trans-Am or a Firebird from some country with a completely custom fabbed body kit from nose to tail. It was a cool color purple. 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.

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.

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).

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

Very creative....damn! It would be cool to see the lights recessed a bit more and behind a piece of lens cover, one piece for the entire area. Then change that grill to a black mesh and a nice shiny turbo intercooler behind it:D

I really like the purple firebird, but it looked better when it was red without that hood.

All i have to say about the one with the "grill" is wow.

The purple T/A is very cool actually. The front end with a little bit of work like Wraith said would look killer

i looked at his cardomain and it looks like it started life as a 3400 series. i wonder if he put in an LS1.

I know the topic's about foreign Camaros, but I had to get the ball rolling here again. Besides, I'm not sure exactly what country this car's from. This Camaro makes baby Jesus cry:

am i the only one thinking WTF is the spring loaded cup holder for? When your coffee gets cold u can james bond it out the t-tops..

what a waste..
I actually think that's the best designed thing on the car... I'm pretty sure it's meant for cups to fit INSIDE not on top. Our cup holders suck, that's a pretty genius way to fix that

yeah... it appears that there arent enough "unique" f bodies in the world to keep this from becoming a "look how ****ty this car is" thread...

why not make a "lets find pictures of all the integramaros out there" thread :rolleyes:

This thread wasn't started as a showcase of cool things done to cars necessarily. It's about the outrageous modifications that people in other countries do to them. If some of the cars are cool (the purple firebird might be considered cool) then that's fine too.

http://www.streetridez.net/images/gallery/temp/temp_259089.jpg

I'm pretty sure that's a second gen. Ford Probe.

If you look at the engine, you can see three intake runners, lined up side by side. That indicates a transversely-mounted engine (i.e. front wheel drive), and either three or six cylinders.

Just more evidence that it's a Probe. :D

word, thats waht i was thinking, but i wasnt sure, i was thinkin maybe some japanese engine swap? idk.. whatever they think is cool in switzerland, haha

and yeah, i know what the threads for.. i didnt mean to sound like a dick.. these cars are without a doubt outrageous, haha

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.
http://www.streetridez.net/images/gallery/temp/temp_268541.jpg

I wonder why nobody has really commented on this picture yet. I wish more pictures of the car were available; that's the most attractive 2nd gen rear end on a Firebird I've ever seen! The exhaust is perfect.
