Although I'm kind of rehashing a few of my previous statements, I wanna hear what you personally plan on doing to your Camaro.

For me, I'm going to turn it into a road racer. Plenty of stuff to add to it. Start with an LS3 and a 6 speed, slightly used to save some bucks

Engine work - Probably a bore and stroke, new heads, more aggressive cam, better air delivery
Brake upgrades, along with stainless lines
Coilover suspension
Better LSD maybe, depending on the factory one (if there is one from the factory)
Lightweight hood, trunk
Lightweight forged wheels
Yank out some heavier items, such as rear seats, possibly A/C too, some sound deadening
Chromoly roll cage and seats with a place for racing harnesses
Chassis stiffening parts and a tubular k-member
New exhaust system, maybe some new headers
Stronger clutch, lightweight flywheel, lightweight driveshaft

It will be a work in progress, but I have big plans for it and plan to keep it a very long time. Trying to get the weight down and make it a complete package, not just a strip monster. Anyone planning on some mods?
