Anyone can get out of a jet-black Lincoln Town Car that has a stretch on it. That’s nothing…hell, it’s almost plebeian anymore. You have to up your limo game, son! You can’t just get into any car with a stretch on it and think that you’re going to be stunning the crowds wherever you go. You have to have taste, a bit of flash, a bit of class, and of course a good bit of style if you are going to pull off the stretch-limo deal successfully. Whether you own the damn thing or just ride in the back, all of these traits are necessary…remember, this is a car that for all intents and purposes, is NOT necessary. This is a statement with a license plate, and that statement speaks volumes about you.
Take this beauty here. It’s a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro that has been stretched ten feet. This isn’t a stuffy Cadillac or an old-school Lincoln, and when it’s sitting among those has-beens and all of the black-tie SUVs, it will stand out. It’s a modern muscle car, but it’s so much more. See those front doors? Lamborghini doors, brah…that’s right, they swing up. And in the back are gullwing doors, like a DeLorean or a Tesla Model X. That’s right, this five-year-old Camaro had gullwing doors before Telsa did! You know what else this ivory slab of awesomeness has that Tesla doesn’t? A real engine…that’s right! There are explosions happening at the front that make the rear tires turn! The seller is a bit shy about saying what engine is under the hood, but we all know that the LS-series V8 fits under there. And if you’re really a boss, you’ll put the six-speed manual behind it…because nobody has had a manual-trans limo since what, the 1930s?
Before you all call me out, yes, I’m having a bit of a go at this Camaro. I’ve never understood why modern muscle cars get the limousine treatment…to me, it seems excessive and pointless. I guess if you’ve got the money, go for it. But one guy who we trust when it comes to stretched rides, Scott Ligget, made sure to inform us that this particular Camaro is a decent bit of kit. According to Scott, “It’s a class build, whoever built it,” and would have taken a quarter-million dollars to build. If you can bring yourself to ignore the Transformers theme inside, a $45,000 price tag isn’t too bad…especially if you do swap in a solid LS and a six-speed. You would rule Power Tour, that’s for sure!
A stretched Chevy hunka shit with an interior that looks like and probably smells like a whore\’s panties is still a hunka shit!
That’s the only way I’ll ever fit into the back seat of a modern Camaro.
