60k to spend on new camaro. What do i get?

i have a malpractice pay out coming next year and i have devoted 60k to buy a new camaro. I have owned a 79 and a 91 and now want a 5 gen. i have thought about hennessey, or an SMS. or possibly buying all the parts to make a equal car for less money. or should I wait tell the z 28 comes out. please give me your opinion one what you would do. thank you

I say you either buy a Hennessey or get a SS and modify it. I wouldnt wait til the Z28 comes out unless you really want it. Nobody knows for sure if the Z28 will get held back again.

I personally would rather buy an SS and send it to Lingenfelter rather than buy a Hennessey Camaro but that's just me.

OP I believe it's time for you to join the LPE brotherhood.

I wish I had enough spare change because I would have already sent them my car.

I'd go with the SLP 575. I love the way they look.
