However, it seems certain fans just can't wait to see how things work out between the motion picture and GM's sixth-gen Camaro, so these people have decided to take their fate into their own hands.

Let's take the owner of the 2016 Camaro SS in the image above, for example. The man recently took delivery of his Corvette-engine Camaro and decided to apply a visual Bumblebee treatment to his new acquisition.

Aside from the obvious black stripes that adorn this yellow Camaro, you should notice the blacked out side markers and the Transformers logos on the side of the car. Oh, and there's also the mandatory window tint.

As for the technical side of the transformation, the owner, who is a member of the Camaro6 forums, has only one complain about his vehicle and it has to do with the shy exhaust sound.

As a result, the muscle car is being gifted with a custom exhaust supplied by Borla these days.

The guy also has future plans - as a Camaro owner who has a history of modifying his previous Chevys, the man isn't sure that LT1 will remain in the engine bay forever.

"I think I'm going to stay NA route on this one.. maybe a 454 I know about LS3 but need to catch up on the new LT1," he explains.

Resisting the temptation to take that LT1 down the forced induction route is pretty difficult, we have to give the man that much. After all, the tuning market has already come with both a supercharged and a twin-turbo package for the SS and the developers don't plan on stopping here. It's enough to talk about how multiple examples of the machine now play in the 9s quarter mile league to understand the tuning frenzy surrounding the new Camaro.
