The new Chevelle HRSS concept - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

merkerguitars · 11-05-2004, 09:41 PM

Pretty much this is a concept chevelle made from the new GTO, the company can't really call it a chevelle since GM owns the rights they call it a HRSS, This comes in a 454 option that comes pushes 600hp...heres the specs of the 454 model from their website:

Quote:

The HRSS454 is based on the C5-R all aluminum, 5th generation Corvette racing block. It also features LS6 based heads, Wilson intake manifold, and a 10.7:1 compression ratio. Exclusive to the HRSS454, it will be capable of delivering a massive 600 horsepower and 600 ft/lbs of torque. Specifications are subject to change based on availability of components. Specifications can also be changed to fit your own needs and personal taste.

twilightfoix · 11-05-2004, 09:50 PM

a really nice loooking car and shit with numbers like 600hp/600 ft lb of torque, believe me i will not complain, in fact i'll give a big

and a

ElwoodBlues · 11-05-2004, 10:37 PM

I like the rear end, but for 135 grand they should give it a better looking front and some better proportioned wheels

DJMala · 11-05-2004, 11:27 PM

It's an interesting idea, especially since the only real weakness with the new GTO is its ho-hum styling.

I like it from the windshield back, but that front clip really needs help. Maybe a larger, single headlight that follows the angle of the grille, and less of a square-jawed look. Maybe they figure it'll go so fast that no one will ever get a good look at the front, anyway.

Jeff · 11-06-2004, 02:15 AM

Yeah, I really don't like the front end. Other than that, it's quite a radical car.

1slOwCD8 · 11-06-2004, 09:16 AM

The front end just looks wierd. Whats up with the grill? The rear looks pretty good, but i dont like the wheels. Why arent they just reguar 5 spokes, whats with the solid pieces in between?

Ilow · 11-06-2004, 09:15 PM

i also agree that the front looks a little weird, I mean what's with the Avanti headlight "eyebrows"? The rear looke really good and 600 HP is awesome, but for that $$ I'd get a new Ford GT (and I'm not even a Ford guy!).

MSD · 11-07-2004, 11:02 PM

With the exception of the front, it's perfect. For some reason, the front gives me the impression that it's trying a little too hard to look like a Bentley

silent_jay · 11-08-2004, 08:07 AM

I was expecting better, the back looks alright, but the front is just a clusterfuck. I agree Mr.SelfDestruct it might just be trying a little too hard to look like a Bentley

I second that.... or third rather.

Ramega · 11-08-2004, 07:08 PM

These threads are rapidly turning in to the "Detroit is out of ideas" variety. I like the throwback styles but I think this one is really ugly.

Still waiting to see a new 'Stang on the road.

john0a · 11-08-2004, 08:34 PM

Yea it does remind me of a Chevelle. The rear end for the most part.

I'm not to fond of the front end either.

The red with black stripes is what make it look Chevellishness the most.

irseg · 11-08-2004, 09:57 PM

It looks like the designers started at the back of the car, then ran out of money and/or got really hammered by the time they got to the front clip. Not only does it look like a Bentley+Cadillac CTS ripoff, but the fit & finish looks terrible.

Cool car otherwise, though!

phyzix525 · 11-08-2004, 11:16 PM

Apparently it takes more talent then I thought to combine a new car styling and an old car. I am sorry, but that car looks too pieced together for me. Its just not fluid enough, you can almost tell the new parts from the old(inspired) parts.

Scorps · 11-11-2004, 09:38 AM

That front end needs a little work but other way its a nice looking car...I would own one if I had the cash!

Are you talking about the website where the pics came from? If so http://www.alohadreamcars.com/hrss.htm

LoganSnake · 11-11-2004, 10:27 AM

I think the car is ugly as sin. The whole new-age retro look doesn't work for me. Specs are nice as hell, but won't Mustang Saleen be more powerful?

Since it's a concept, there's always time to improve the nose at least.

Stare At The Sun · 11-11-2004, 03:51 PM

I like it all, other than the front end. Looks to much like a 300c/bentley.

overall, i'd still drive it

onetime2 · 11-11-2004, 06:33 PM

There isn't a single thing on the car I like. I would prefer to put the $135k toward the Ford GT.

I love the idea of bringing the Chevelle back (it's absolutely my favorite muscle car) but this is not it.
