The leather shifter knob is history, replaced by a white ball or brushed aluminum T-handle, depending on my mood that day.

I may look into the Cragar wheels; they just look kind of strange once they get that large in diameter.

Those 20" cragars definitely lose their luster. They carry an 18" similar to the old sst but, I don't think they will fit. My '68 has a brushed aluminum t-handle. For those of you who have never shifted with one you don't know what your missing (especially going into third!)

side pipes no, wont fi this car unless it its kind you can see except the exhaust whole. The old SS should be on it, i think GM messed that one up, but to me thats a no brainer, they kept the challenger the same. Not that hate the bowtie love it on the truck but the bow tie is synomanous with the truck. think they did the bow tie to promote the chevy brand. Not bad idea.

Your best bet for Torque Thrusts (or something like them) is the Nickey Camaro mag wheels when they finally get them in stock. It's what I'll be putting on mine.

Yea, careful on the SidePipes, Many of DATES Slightly burned on those. Don't think todays pipes really have that problem anymore.

Used to put Airshocks on and Jackup the backend alittle bit. But today the look is more Slammed to the ground.

Lets see, the Big Giant Spoiler thing is gone by the way of the Super Bee, so thats kinda history.

Gosh I dunno I think they did a pretty good job on the car as is. I think it needs Coil Over Lowering however.

BlackCamaroSS · 07-17-2009, 08:36 AM

In my opinion, lowering is anything BUT old school.

big cowl hood with a carb'd big block under it and some Cragars

pck823 · 07-17-2009, 08:47 AM

Hmmm...Hubby say's Maybe a Motion Camaro Spear on the side?

But he is just waiting on some real racecars to be made and seen at the Dragway or Road Racing tracks like the old Trans Am Series or in the Rolex GT class.
White Camaro's are coming right. How about a Bill Grumpy Jenkins Paint Scheme?! Not sure of the Grump Lump Hood scoop though on a 2010 Might look silly!

Yeah a NHRA Pro Stock 2010 Camaro is what he wants to see!

Fuzzy Dice ? They have them for our Camaro's you know! Check Fleabay!
