Charley, when will they be done with yours? I still like the Mule better!

I'd much rather have El Mule, too. This thing is way too pimped for me. I'd like to see the toned down version, though...

I am with you on that Jeff, would love to see the one that looks more like a original 69 Phase III camaro, its still hard to beat the Mule, or Stuart Adams Aluminator!

Can't argue with you about what a great car the Mule is--------------But---pimped up ??--They pushed the ideas envelope --But far from pimped up--

[dreemz]

Wild and exotic-certainly not pimped up; just the way they were back then

Just back in from SEMA. All I can say is WOW. In true Motion style, totally cutting edge and simply blowing away anything else that is being built out there. If anyone were to have the opportunity to see this car in person as I and many others just did, the last thing out of their mouth would be "pimped out". Some amazing sleek body mods (all done in pure metal), a great stance, all of today's technology and a true Motion attitude. Afterall, that is what Joel's cars have always been about. Come on, I own two of his craziest creations that regularly get ripped on this board. He has never been about doing the norm. That is what made Motion great.

Which brings me to my next point. How dare anyone out there question Joel's use of his rightfully owned names?? I own both "Baldwin Motion" and "Motion" cars and quite frankly I don't give a S#*! where the car came from as long as Joel had his hand in making the car. I think it is lunacy to think that a car is worth more because it was sold by a particular dealership. Who cares?? The magic was done after the fact. The truth be known many chassis that Joel modified were used and not from Baldwin. Why not, he was going to change them completely anyway. I think it is way cool that "Baldwin Motion" is back. A tremendous boost to our hobby and everyone who owns these cars. We all will benefit by seeing our cars back in the limelight.

CONGRATUATIONS MR. MOTION FOR TAKING GM'S SEMA CAR OF THE SHOW AWARD!

I wouldn't paint the black grill either--It does look sinister-------------

It could be the pictures that don't give as good of a view of the car as being there in person, but this car is way over the top for me(and I was thinking pimped out as well). The rear wheels look too big with not enough profile like mentioned. The engine is cool as heck, but I would rather have the MULE or something toned down a lot more. But if they can sell them for $427K then it doesn't matter what us observers think. But you have to give Joel a for making it happen.

Funny ------I thought we were just viewing the Debut of a Motion Camaro reintroduced to the public with updated engineering and concepts ------If you feel some of the concepts were over the top that's OK--I'm not a big fan of the oversized mags todays trend seem to dictate----But to say pimped out is a bit harsh and uncalled for.-------- If that's the case---I guess all dealer cars and factory cars with graphics- stripes-scoops --hood tachs--spoilers etc. were pimped out---------I don't think they were---They were signs of the times--As this New Motion Camaro is---

This is exactly what guys are building today....It IS the Mule....Pro Touring gone wild !! the cleanliness of the build is what makes it so cool...
