You will have a car that is very close to what the GTR offers from the factory. Don't get me wrong I love the Camaro. But if I'm going to get bent over a barrel from the General, I might spend my money in the land of the rising sun.
If you have to spend over 30k in go fast goodies on the Camaro to beat a GT-R you are doing something wrong. And I'm not talking about just a straight line either. It may still lose a bit with the handling, but for 30 grand I'm sure that you could get a blower (or turbo) +intercooler plus other bits for the engine, complete suspension upgrade, new tranny, and new brakes. Plus prbably be able to have some light weight body pannels
