Prequel to a Camaro Project
As I am currently driving a Formula, I don't have the Camaro I want to build right now, but I'm trying to figure out what it would take to build the car I want at, of course, the lowest possible price. The Navy doesn't pay me enough to be too ambitious. This is where I will assemble my thoughts until I decide to buy a Camaro to build. I am planning on going with the lowest possible bidder on the parts I want. Vendors are more than welcome to participate in this thread and even contribute their lower priced parts for consideration.
Any feedback or recommendations are always more than welcome. You guys always have good ideas. That's why I love this place. 2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS A6 VR EXTERIOR GM Heritage Grille (92208704)—from GM Parts House; unpainted, like a boss Unrestricted Motorsports Dovetail Spoiler—direct from Unrestricted Motorsports, consider the stock one for sale Street Scene lower grille with ducts (950-85224) SLP blackout kit (100044A)—best deal is a tie between LM Performance and Summit Racing Fog Lights at Night Harness—Gen5DIY allows for use of fogs at night VHT Niteshades tint spray—expect a DIY thread on tail lights and side markers sometime in the future Lemans stripes (vendors, talk to me) black lightweight rims—would probably trade RS rims for 1LE if anyone wants them functional mail slot—a Gen5DIY project more aggressive rear diffuser than stock—something I may consider, but not sure yet, been talking to 2SSRS MRT Louver—at the posted price is prohibitively expensive, but will consider eventually INTERIOR dash light DIY1 or dash light DIY2 using these parts—Gen5DIY ABL door mod DIY Remin Real Carbon Fiber dash kit—best price appears to be CarID PERFORMANCE 1LE strut tower brace (22756880)—planning on purchasing as part of a large order from patrickt at GM Parts House 1LE 3.91 gears (22813040)—no link available, but plan on purchasing with other GM parts through patrickt Stainless Power Headers with High-Flow Catalytic Converters—Auto Agenda is the place to go Stainless Works Catback Exhaust—Auto Agenda and I have been talking conservative tune that I can take nationwide (vendors, talk to me) VMAX throttle body—coming from JDP Motorsports LSXr intake manifold—coming from JDP Motorsports with all upgrades available in the very distant future VaraRam Tune Intake—based on the heat transfer properties of plastics versus steel, it is undesirable to have metal as the intake material if possible; someone give me an awesome price GM 1LE track package suspension components (23102311)—plan to do this purchase through GM Parts House, but I have a link for the sake of sharing here LS3 CNC-Ported Heads (88958758)—would like to order from GM Parts House again, but will depend on price WEIGHT REDUCTION Enkei Raijin 18" Wheels fiberglass quarters fiberglass doors fiberglass trunk fiberglass hoodAUDIO Xplod 10" sub and 300W amp 10" sub box (vendors, talk to me)

Very Ambitious!
Good luck, subscribed! I also want to see some pricing and Vendors competing for business in this thread, lol |

I do, too. Obviously, I would need to get good deals on a great number of parts. Much of this would take some patience, and I have to get a Camaro SS first. This is a sort of brainstorm.

I honestly think all Vendors should compete for our business and some i know who stand out from the rest will most likely be the ones to post here first! But it is a very interesting concept that i also did when i first came onto this forum!

I look forward to this coming to fruition.
I remember the first ideas you had years ago...this one idea looks like you can pull it off, and should be pretty stinking awesome! |

Prequel to a Camaro Project
I figured it was time to update this thread. Here's the plan as it stands today. Forgive the cheesy "stage" monikers. They just help me organize my thoughts. It's my build thread and I can write whatever I want!
Stage 0: How It Should Have Been Made
Stage 1: Breathe Easy
Stage 2: Tune Strongly Recommended
Stage 3: Track Performance
Stage 4: Because Racecar
Stage 5: Resurrection
Why did I pick these parts and vendors? All of this is subject to change, so feel free to give me feedback on your experiences. More information from Camaro5 means a better build.
