I harbor an intense dislike for the new Camaro, but even it does not deserve this. I would give money to see the bank manager's face when they reposess this and he realizes he has to auction it.

Here's what Chevy should have emulated:

titanium?
IIRC, there is a style in Japan where they meticulously weld several beveled sections of straight pipe together to make curves. Can't recall the term for it at the moment.
That's a style? My buddy at Ballistic Motorsports has been doing all his stuff that way for as long as I can remember. Pretty welds.
"Pie Cuts."
Apparently it's because you can't bend titanium the same way you can bend steel. I always assumed it was just fabrication masturbation.
Titanium is bendable, but "springback" and "metal memory" are two terms that come to mind. Must be mandrel and bend s l o w l y. Newfound appreciation:

I wouldn't call the pie cuts a "style." Really it's just that Japanese culture puts a very high value on the type of craftsmanship you need to do something like fabricating titanium. They're willing to pay for it, too.

Are those Gurney headers titanium!? It doesn't look like it, but they are certainly gorgeous.

An alternative to the pie cutting is filling titanium tubes with sand and bending them while extremely hot, demonstrated here on an AC Sanctuary Zephyr.
