2010 Camaro Bandit?!!!!
 
wtf?!

I saw a black and gold new Camaro today with the words "BANDIT" on the door sills and across the trunk spoiler. I don't have a camera phone or I would have taken a picture.

Totally hideous looking car, btw. I think I heard it crying a little as I went by.

I did a search on some websites but haven't found anything about it.

Have any of you guys seen anything similar lately?

EDIT: Yeah, I know this should be in OT. I was so aghast by the car I must have lost my mind.

KCTarga3.2 10-26-2009 12:51 PM

I wonder if the guy knows that the "Bandit" was a Pontiac Trans Am?

Wyvern 10-26-2009 12:52 PM

Yup ...

I like the "Bert 3" sticker most of all.

Holy crap is that one of the stupidest cars I have ever seen. I was hoping that my eyes had been decieving me. Where's that huge manatee pic when you need it?


Now, these are pretty good looking:

Wait, I thought the Bandit was Pontiac Trans Am...ohh General, we have no money, Motors, no more Pontiac. Right. Clever not so much, collector potential, doubtful. Lame most definitely.

Oh Haha 10-26-2009 01:02 PM

I was telling my wife about it and she told me it's someone local who owns it. Even SHE knew that the Bandit is supposed to be a Trans Am and she hates the movie.

Thats wrong on so many different levels.

Jeez thats ugly. Thats like a guy getting one of those lower back tattoos

I like the Camaro but not the bandit stickers....do you guys not like the camaro? The styling is pretty good but the specs are great...other than the weight.

Hell yeah, the specs are great. The base V-6 is faster than a 911SC.

DCOP 10-26-2009 04:47 PM

I saw the Transformer edition in Concord NH that was won in a national raffle. Only one of 4 made I heard. I must admit the yellow with the black stripe kit looked pretty sharp. But that Bandit get up makes a decent retro car look cheap!
I'll think I will keep my 40 year old Porsche that still has the grin factor every time I drive it :D

Also, what's up with the mufflers hanging down below the body. You can see these when I'm following. Almost look like mini gas tanks. Not a very good idea.

m21sniper 10-27-2009 10:35 AM

I just saw a gunmetal gray Camaro at Best Buy the other day. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Eric 951 10-27-2009 11:27 AM

Too much stupid...a bandit Camaro.....

Reminds me of the Dukesfest I went to a few years back at Cooters' place in Sperryville VA(yeah--really)

They had about 20 cloned General Lees, which is fine if that is your cup of tea, but some of the clones were 68 Chargers, some were 70 Chargers.

If you are going to go through all the trouble to clone a well-known car, at least use the right year/model/make.....

The new camaros aren't too bad in general though--a ***** to see out of the rear, and ,low headroom, but not too bad.

There are ones out on the showroom floor for $40K+.

Let's make a short list of slightly preowned Porsche vehicles that fall into that same price range..

Early 997.
Nice 996S.
993C4S
964 Turbo.
Any 930.
Newer Boxster or Boxster S.
Cayman.

Try to convince me that the Camaro is a good decision to buy new over any of those above used.

porsche4life 10-27-2009 06:17 PM

Dude I have seen 996TTs and GT3s in that price range...

None of those look like a Camaro.

And the Camaro does not look like a Volkswagon Beetle either, for that matter.
