Note the shorter wheelbase, cut down rear door, modified C-pillar and bolted on fender flares. Pic was taken in Australia.

For comparison, here's a production Commodore.

What is the standard wheel base for the Commodore? The base doesn't look that much different IMO if you compare wheel center and the the curve of the c-pillar. I don't see much difference in the c-pillar either, just a chance in the rear window.

Flares are all I see different except door delete...

Interesting still though...

The Camaro will lose 2.xx inches in wheelbase compared to the Commodore. The mods made to the C-pillar and rear doors look about right to accommodate that to me.

Too bad the photographer's rear view mirror is blocking the area behind the front wheel. I'd like to get a better look at that.

2 inches is what I was going to say..that back door seam would be right on the wheelwell opening if it extended into the fender flare....so vs. the stock picture I'd say exactly 2 inches is pretty close.

Charlie, I don't see the post on Cz28? Did they take it down?

Z284ever · 04-20-2007, 05:17 PM

It's still up.

I just dont see it i guess. That picture is interesting but, it looks to sedan like.

Very interesting, that could very well be a mule car

This vehicle also seems to have a wider track or at least, made to handle larger tires.

Note the fender flaring on both the front as well as the rear wheel openings.
