Autobahn/Nurburgring 2SS build!

So I just received orders for permanent change of station to Ansbach Germany. Looks like my baby is going to need a few upgrades to keep up with all those Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, and all the other Euro Stars. Think I will give em a run for their money.

A little background on my 2011 Black 2SS. Purchased December 13th 2010 from KEVIN WHITAKER Chevrolet in Greenville, South Caroline. I had joined the Army in June of 2010 and finished training on December 7th. I had orders to 25th Combat Aviation Brigade in Hawaii and decided that I needed a sports car to tear up the beautiful sunny roads. I decided to purchase a brand new Camaro (like everyone else in the army) and began my search. I finally stumbled uppon my 2SS online and decided to take a drive from my home in Western North Carolina to take a look. It was love at first sight!




After 4 days of it sitting waiting for the snow that fell the night after I purchsed it, I shipped her out for Honolulu, Hawaii. What a scary day, it would be 4 weeks until I saw my baby again and by the time she was put on the truck she had 410 miles on her.

January 16th 2011 I left work to pick her up in downtown Honolulu! Talk about the best day ever. I finished the inspection at the shipping yard and away I went. I hit 500 miles on the H1 freeway right infront of Honolulu airport and decided to punch it since I could go over 100mph after the 500 mile break in. 135 MPH before traffic started to be congestive.

To this day she is still stock and ready for mods. I was planning to sell her but decided to keep her once I received orders. Hopefully I can get her built quick before I leave Island for Germany.

Plans for my baby! I want to build a Z/28 style everyday track performer. Since I don't have a 1le because I got my car too early, I will be doing most of the 1le mods and upgrades.

Suspension/Brakes/Chassis:
-I want to put the PFADT stage 5 ZL spec kit so that I have the best handling for the Nurburgring, or the LG G5 coilovers.
-Brembo GT-R Brakes or the Z/28 Carbon Ceramic setup. Depends on what's available when I have the money.
-Lg Motorsports Chassis stiffeners and strut bar
-Proven Wicked Bolt in roll cage system and remove the rear seat's
-Fat boy program! Gotta get that weight down big time.

Engine/Driveline:
-GMPP Ported Cylinder Heads and LS7 Cam kit
-Vararam Intake kit with a later upgrade to Kinsler cross ram or the OZMO engineering Carbon intake manifold.
-Quarter Master or tilton clutch kit, don't know exactly what yet
-Lg motorsports Longtube header's with bolt in cats/race pipes.
-racing pedal box w/ brake and clutch master cylinder
-1le transmission or sequential race transmission
-1le or zl1 rear diff and driveline upgrade

Body:
-Unkown at this time

Updates coming as I know. Any advice would be helpful.
