March 09' Super Chevy Yenko continuation review
 

A friend of mine just dropped off the latest issue of Super Chevy with a cover story on the "new" continuation Yenko Camaro's. Since when is a Chinese bodied Camaro a Yenko? You can have all the legal documents you want and call it a Yenko, but really, who are you kidding. The magazine quotes Jim Barber as saying " I have to admit, it gets to me seeing a modified Camaro with stripes being called a Yenko clone" funny that's EXACTLY what you are building. According to Barber, "What you have here is not a Yenko clone, but an honest-to-goodness brand new Yenko Camaro".

It also goes on to tell all of us uneducated readers how it stacks up against an original? Well if this "new" Yenko Camaro is a Yenko, then why ask? Confusing isn't it. Barber goes on to say "I had three gentleman, Larry Christiansen, Jerry MacNeish and Tom Clary of Yenko.net review the car, and there were only three things wrong."

Well I asked Tom about this, and he knows nothing about it. And since when is Jerry and Larry the official mouthpiece of the Yenko.net. Larry has not been to an sYc event in years, and Jerry has never been to an sYc event. That's just the facts. So speaking on behalf of the sYc and giving this car credence is only their opinions, if in fact that even happened. Sort of like me giving a shout out to the CRG site with my one total post...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

LOL..Three things wrong.......

1. Chevrolet didn't build it

2. Don Yenko had absolutly nothing to do with it

3. It ain't a Yenko

Nice...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Super Chevy at one time was a premier chevy magazine, but it has turned into a real rag. Last I subscribed to the magazine was mid eighties. The last couple of times I pick it up at the news stand left me very disappointed and frustrated at the lack of accuracy and content. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif This is just more of the same. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

I am with you Steve. I don't go to the events anymore and hardly ever glance through a copy at the grocery store! I have NO interest in that mag. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
