I had an idea ...

I just saw a thing on autoblog about Corvette racing, and they had this picture:

Is something wrong with me for wanting someone to create a Corvette based El Camino?

Yes...yes there is.

ron10 · 04-14-2010, 07:20 PM

i would love for GM to make the EL Camino again.

WE WANT UTES!

I believe those G8 Sport Trucks work very well IMO.

i would take an ute any day. i hate massive trucks and SUV's but i would like something that is a bit better at moving and hauling things than my mustang. i don't care what it's based off of, just GIVE ME AN UTE.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

How about a C4 Camino?

84 ZR1 El Camino

But i think Ute's would fly too.

Hmm, long box or short box?

hmmm... as soon as i saw the pic, i knew exactly what you were gonna say before i scrolled down & saw the rest of the post

i gotta say, that GXP ute looks like it'd be pretty fun!

the only qualms i'd have would be getting that sucker to hook. vettes + more power = real traction issues anyway, so just imagine taking that much weight off your drive wheels...

Stiffer springs and/or traction bars would basically alleviate that though. I'd be more worried about the handling differences from moving the weight balance so far forward.

so maybe i shouldn't've said 'only'

i almost like that pic of the rolling chassis... really, what else do you need in a toy car? an engine, 4 wheels, & a place to put the butts of you & whoever you wanna scare the crap out of
