Nitto NT-05, 275/40R20 in the front, 315/35R20 in the rear. They're an excellent all-around performing tire, especially for a versatile vehicle like this (i.e. good straight-line traction, great handling, good wear and low operational noise).



Haha, trust me, I feel where you're coming from.

However, my theory with any build (whether $1,500.00 or $150,000.00) is that the car must be purposed built for the end user. In Eric's case, he made it abundantly clear that the car needs to be subtle, as he is not a flashly individual (hence, why he wanted a Camaro in the first place, and not a Ferrari F430 or Lamborghini Murcielago). Ultimately, the car should reflect your personality when you're building on this level. We wanted the car to be under the radar, almost to the point where a lesser informed individual would mistake it for an OEM optioned vehicle.

Personally, if I had an NZ1200 Camaro, I'd actually leave it 100% stock body with some lower key wheels and a little reduction in ride height. That's just my personality though, I can definitely appreciate nicely done aesthetics.
Okay but still. What about getting CF pieces for the weight reduction and painting them black so no one would know. Or maybe just leave a pinstripe in CF. It wouldn't be flashy at all but it would help the performance!
