Might have a few deletes you can do on the list to shave weight and have HP but no drastic changes occurring.
Hideaway headlamps will never return as much as I'd like that. They don't work well. How many times have you seen that corvette or fiero with one headlight stuck open? Too often.
As for mpgs on LS7, is that really an issue? Really? "I want an ls7, but im not going to get it unless it gets umpteen mpg." Completely idiotic and inane. A car like that can get 3 mpg for all I care, if you're worried about mpgs get a v6 or better yet go electric or a smart car. What are you? Treehugging? Power will come at an expense. The term pay to play stands and won't ever change.

I pretty much can tell that you are missing the point when the acronym "MPG's" gets thrown out here..it's about the cost of ownership bud. I am not willing to pay the government 2K on top of the price of a car because it gets shitty mileage. That is what is insane!! There are options out there and other companies achieve better HP ratings on smaller displacement engines but we are OK with settling on "what is available" I did pay to play when I bought my SS back in early '09 and being and R6P car I purchased it without seeing one in person because I WANTED it and I could. I think it is time to step up the game and GM has with the addition of the LT series motors. That would be my choice for the engine in this car, and yes it would be more expensive, but putting an out-dated LS7 in the Camaro just to say my D*$k is bigger than yours is absolutely dumb. Spend the money, pull it into your garage and mod it yourself, get to know your tools, change the cam, change your own oil..you'll have the satisfaction of you're own success and an awesome performing car...that's how I grew up.
