It just doesn't happen.
Kris may have helped GMMG render their car, but the ORIGINAL concept (Sunoco Camaro) was ALL Chevrolet. I'd put money on it.

) I know the Sunoco Camaro was the inspiration for the DH car but what I mean was that the 3D rendering (which the thread is about) was done by Kris. I am not suggesting that GM/Dick Harrel used Kris' design but merely that DH retained Kris' services for a computer version of their car. I am in agreement with you but I've been referring to the 3D rendition rather than the car...
to summarize:
The SUNOCO was GM's baby 100%
the DH edition was Berger Chevrolet's baby 100% (GM was aware of it)
the DH 3D rendering was KrisH's baby based on specs from DH. (hence why it is on the official GMMG site.)

Re: GMMG Website...Camaro?
It's been tossed back and forth but lets clarify.
GM made the Sunoco Camaro car a few years ago. GMMG who made the Blackbird, Intimidator SS, Tom Henry SS, Berger SS, ZL-1, and 35th Performance edition had about 30 cars left at the end of their run of those cars. They toyed with the idea of doing a Baldwin-Motion car but decided on the Dick Harrell supercar. They based it off the Sunoco car with GM's blessing (GMMG and GM are not officially affiliated in any way). Kris helped them in the begginning stages by making a 3D rendering which was used to help dimension the cars body panels (which had to be fabricated).
The car is not a concept
the car is being sold
The Dick Harrell supercar is not made by GM
