There’s some stuff that just won’t fly for pedestrian safety on cars any more, probably going to be deeper into EV availability before we see pointy cars with front mounted power trains like the 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies and Chrysler LH cars due to that, as well as the bumper height difference between cars and trucks.

Ceaser_Salad Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This car reminds me of the "modern firebird" People using body kits to make their cars into older muscle just turns out... badly. Take the daytona for instance: Modern Muscle is not particularly interesting to begin with. But trying to turn it into the original?

iamsuperdan Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 That rendering has been out there for a few years now. There's also one of the "new" Chevelle that is almost as bad. Nice idea, but no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSheep214 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looks like it can pass as a modernized Barracuda to me. Yeah the stance is a bit too low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal form of the verb "ir", meaning "you go" or or "it goes" "No" means the same in English or Spanish. Translation: "No va" means, "you don't go" or "it doesn't go" Which is also why GM never sold any in Mexico. They knew what it meant.

But I come from a group of Hispanic family and friends who all said the same negative connotation with the car's name. They were very superstitious and stated that they would never buy a car that said it wouldn't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitchdup Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 My photoshop skill is pretty non existant but I tried to improve it a little by swapping the arches and stretching the front a little to balance it out.

Mark Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Any Yenko-badged car newer than 1982 or so shouldn't be a Chevrolet, it should be a Honda.
