A Camaro That Leaves A Wake 391
Artana Niveus Corvum writes "I came across this entirely at random, but it seems like someone with too much time on his hands has taken an old idea and improved on it... and come up with something truly unique and cool: a car based on a 2002 Camaro body with a Subaru WRX Turbo engine (300 horsepower) capable of going over 125MPH that doubles as a boat capable of going over 40MPH."

The STi adds a larger turbo, a strengthened block, and different pistons which reduce the friction.
But it's the same engine design.

Liter for liter, the Subaru engine is better for this application.

'Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Now I'm in all the papers
My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don't leave a scratch'
Somehow that seemed more clever when I was 16...

Pushing a Camaro out of 2.5 feet deep flowing water REALLY sucks.
