Camaro Performers Readers Rides!

In a 3rd gen no less!
My wife is always giving me grief over how many car magazines I buy & read so when I picked up the current issue while out Xmas shopping yesterday her jaw dropped when I showed her this pic! She actually teared up!
It's only a Readers Ride pic, I'll save the full feature for the 72 when it's done.
Special thanks to Steve1968LS2 over at Pro-Touring.com for getting this done!!

Re: Camaro Performers Readers Rides!

I think that's a really great gift for the boy, I hope you have raised him to respect authority, automobiles, and be appreciative and grateful for everything he is given.

Nice car and cool feature, pics in front of the hanger.. very classy!

Those are ROH Snypers, which are no longer made.

For awhile they were direct fits for 3rd gens, then ROH started making them in the 4th gen offset. Then ROH started making the ZS Racing ones instead.

Only way to get them now, is used. Oh....I think they were only available in 17" x 9".....That's what mine are.

Hmm, we're ok then as this will only be his "show car" . He's been driving a Grand Cherokee for a year now with no incidents. Knock on wood!

Ain't no way the Camaro will be his daily driver!
