You can bum off a Z/28 chassis if you want.

Just imagine and LS7 working as a generator with capacitors to power electric motors for an entirely flat 500hp max torque curve...

As a doctor of the inner city automotive arts, I agree.

Ill tell you what, the 90's rivs, are within fractions of an inch of being the perfect luxocrusier in my mind

for some reason they always reminded me of a Rebel Troop carrier from star wars.

I think this is a bad ass design concept for a car.

I thought those carriers were for the sands of Tatooine ? But yes, I agree, super sleek

Shit, that's my 3rd pair of pants today.

Really, though. A higher-end Camaro with a Buick Riviera nameplate would be fantastic. Give it some leather, a new nose, new tail lights, the obligatory four ventiports, and a softer suspension and they'd have a winner. Price it at $45k or so (??)

I'm planning on a 98 or 99 riv for my next car and dear lord can the LeSabre die already so I can make it a reality?

Id pull a Jay Leno Ala Torino and convert it to RWD with a supercharged 455.

The exhaust tunnel could easily house a driveshaft. Not sure how you'd get up to par structurally, though.

Very Carefully sir!

For sure. Emerald green with bronze or graphite-grey wheels and blacked-out chrome.

If only someone could figure out a way to get the Chinese to like personal luxury coupes and stop drinking the crossover Kool Aid. I think that would be our only chance for a revival.

I work for Volvo. The Chinese want their executive cars for sure. They convinced Volco to bring back the S90 despite Volvo not wanting to. As for a premium GT car, I'm not too sure. Chine loves their Buick though.
