If you order a crate motor as an GMPP accessory, does that mean you will have two engines? Similar to ordering the CAT Back. I'm assuming you keep the original CAT and pay full price for the new one. So, will the crate motors be the same, or will they allow some sort of Core return so you can disount the price of the crate motor with a credit of some kind if they keep the original? And, what is the list of motors that you can arder for the camaro?
My same thought process. I'm assuming that most of the GMPP LS blocks would fit in that space. And they are listed at the site. I'm talking with a guy next Friday about all of this when i finall get to put my down payment .... down. I'm looking for those three options and then the Interior Package and the RS package. So yeah, I'll see if i can't get something out of them.




OH YEAH! also i got a response from LPE today. They are indeed building kits for the Camaro, said they'd be along the same lines as the C6 kits. so a 650HP Twin Turbo, or a 520 kit. Sooooooo I'll be talking to them when Feb rolls around.

I'd beg to differ. VERY much so...but that's not what I want to say.

I just want to ask you (and others) to please try not to put down another Camaro just because it's not good enough for you. Or because "it's not a V8"....

...not to very long ago...anything with 300hp was something to brag about....

We're all here out of for the Camaro...it doesn't matter which one.

Hmmm...blade spoiler...quite possibly the only aesthetic option I could see myself paying for. Other than ambient lighting of course.

+1 This is the way to go. Stock for V6, Pedestal for the kiddies that play XBOX.

BTW, as far as the complaining on this thread about all the accessories....you don't have to purchase them. I think it's great that GM has decided to create all of these options BEFORE the car hits the market. Can you tell me when this has ever been done to such extent before by GM? The more options, the better. Makes the car more customizable by its owner...and isn't that how the original 1st gen was? The only difference is that these accessories are dealer-adds, not factory adds. Thumbs up GM, I love the accessories! I might not like all of them, but I'm glad you are offering them. Hell, I am just glad I will get to order a new Camaro that will be the standard by which all American pony cars will be judged!:flag2:

lets face it there are gonna be 100k per year approximately made. that means some people will rice it out. who cares. for me i like having something that other people dont have or dont see. people having more options to make the car thier own makes your vehicle even more special for being your own.

What is HUD?

Accessoiries look great. Except for the spoiler thing. I would go for the ground effect things; but also painted in same black as the car... No two-tone for me.

can't wait to get it overhere in Belgium...

I'm not putting it down, I'm simply saying that those stats aren't anything to brag about because they are not that impressive. I didn't say anything remotely close to "the V6 sucks because it doesn't have impressive power" or anything like that. I'm just saying that the power to weight ratio is not something to brag about...I don't see how that is putting down the Camaro...it sucks you took it that way.

A HUD is a heads up display like in a fighter jet. It will show a tach, your speed, blinkers, radio info, etc. reflected in the windshield in front of you.

What is the deal with the lighted trim kit? Doesn't look like the cool light bar effect from before. Is it only in those three colors as well? No ice blue/silver?
