And keep in mind that the 700hp version will carry no warranty and may not even be street legal (if it includes any of the engines referred to as "for off road use only" by Stefano Bimbi of Nickey).
the Nickey probably ain't gonna be any more expensive than a Callaway or Lingenfelter (should they choose to do something). the desire for the Camaro over a similarly-powered Z06 w/warranty is most likely just a pure aesthetic want for a hopped-up Camaro. if you're fortunate enough to be able to spend the cash for one, i don't see why you shouldn't have what you want.
