The ex-generation Camaro SS, be it a coupe or a convertible, is a muscle car that has plenty of thrills to offer. But what do you do when you own one of these and find yourself in Monaco, trying to impress?
Since the city/state is one of the world's supercar capitals, you would imagine that the sea of Ferraris, McLarens and Bentleys casts an invisibility spell on the Camaro.
And while that may be true for the standard car, there are a few little things that can make a huge difference. Perhaps the best example comes in the form of a KITT-like light bar.
We were tempted to label this as the "good old" Knight Rider light bar, since these things have been around since 2009 or so. However, one shouldn't make the mistake of believing Europe has gotten tired of these gimmicks.
To be more precise, we are referring to a red LED light scanner, which is mounted on the faux hood air intake of the Camaro. This replicates the light patterns we've seen on the original KITT, a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, as well as on the Shelby GT500KR used in the less successful Knight Rider 2008 TV series.
As you'll be able to see in the video below, which seems to be your typical Monaco car spotter production, a black Camaro SS Convertible fitted with the light bar, as well as with a custom exhaust, seems to work well for drawing a bit of attention in the city that marked the first LaFerrari customer crash.
Given the red light and the scan-like movement, we expect this piece of kit to be less than legal. Perhaps this is why the driver of this Camaro decides to turn the thing off after a while (but not before it was caught by the spotters).
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
