LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW: Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels - An Optimistic Title Or JUSTIFIED?

Although this specific Chevrolet Camaro made its debut at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show, I just came around to it now.

What struck me in the 2011 Los Angeles Photo Show gallery was its green paint and ZL1 attributes. Then, after conducting some more research, it turns out that this Camaro is sort of a poser since it only has the standard LS3 V8 motor underneath the hood.

Wompwomp.

This left me wondering if this car is actually a HOT set of wheels or if it is just "meh."

I mean, the standard Camaro's proportions leaves the car looking somewhat cartoon-y as it stands, now with these enhancements it is bordering on looking like an actual Hot Wheels car.

...Maybe the name is fitting after all...
