I completely agree with you Chris. The styling of gmci's stripe on the "YENKO" is very reminiscient of a MOTION Phaselll stripe. I hope the YENKO family can win their name back

Historically Phase III belongs to Motion Performance, maybe even legally?

It just doesn't sound right on a Yenko, at least to me.

Don did use Stage I and Stage II for his Yenko Turbo Z28s.

I believe that Joel does legally own the PHASEIII designation. Im not sure but does it seem to anyone else like the gmci car is kinda trying to steal from 2 of the greatest supercar builders MOTION and YENKO?I clearly see styling cues from the Motion Phase III stripe in their variation of the YENKO stripe and using the phase III moniker is just looking for trouble. Maybe gmci wants sued.Stupid is as stupid does

I just googled the other guys car, and yes, the stripe is a disturbing combination.

Yeah it looks like crap. Atleast the SYCs version is true to form. I'd like to see GMCI pull this crap on Joel. I dont think it would be a pleasant event

They can call it what they want but I think that stripe package is ugly. The aero package is just as tacky and doesn't belong on that car. So far I think the best looking tuner Camaro is the one being sold by SLP. They came up with their own idea and aren't trying to resurrect, and profit from, names of the past.

touche'; I guess what I meant to say was they are allowing the car to speak for itself and make it's own mark. No need to try and tie the new car to a legendary name like Yenko, Nickey, Gibb and the like. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to bash those who are aligning themselves with those legendary names; I just think it's commendable that companies like SLP are trying to make their own mark.
