Suicide Doors

[OneBad9D5]

I was reading about the lambo doors on a camaro, and I think there ugly. The I was on ebay just looking around and I found this, Suicide doors on a camaro

This is the first camaro I have seen these on, and the camaro looks good. Has anyone else done this or seen another camaro with suicide doors?

I think they are way better looking than lambo doors.

Those aren't technically suicide doors.

Suicide doors are on four-door cars, it's the way pillar-less doors latch themselves together - the back door latches in place, then the front door latches in place. The reason they were called suicide doors is taht the first types of setups like this weren't very reliable and if you were holding on to the door handle in the backseat and the latch failed... out the door you go!

Eh, I like the lambo doors better, if it wasn't for the fender interferance. Thats about the only thing I don't like about the lambo doors. The suicide doors really don't have much purpose to me other than show. But hey, to each his own.

I have thought of suicide doors before. I think it would be cool. I'd have to see one in person, or one that wasn't so, how should I put this.... "showy" haha. But... Dan, I always heard that suicide doors got their name b/c the old 30s and 40s gansters would open up the door and shoot and since the door open backwards there was nothing to protect them from getting shot back at. Maybe that's just a myth. but anyways... cool find.

it would be harder to suicide your doors than it would be to do a lambo conversion. just because of everything inside the door that needs to be flip flopped. I like it better than lambo doors, but still much harder to do.

If you were driving and opened a suicide door, the wind would catch it and slam it wide open, and maybe take you with it! Suicide, indeed!
