What are my big picture goals?

Well, here are some Camaros I am using for ideas:

Some of the things I have started looking into:

Mechanical/drivetrain:

3.91 gears (includes posi-mod & differential bushings)
CTS-V Big-brake kit
Upgraded clutch
Coilovers
Cam & all subsequent matching parts (rods, springs, oil pump, etc)
Forced induction. Not sure if I'll be going with a supercharger or twin turbo, but I know there will be quite a few associated mods with either route (axles, driveshafts, fuel pump, etc)

Cosmetic:

Vented front fenders. Probably one from Gary's Customs, although I love the widebody look of the Black Gumball car above (and yes, I know that would involve changing the front bumper again).
Vented hood. Have no idea on this one. Probably won't happen until after the FI is done. I'm thinking either the Hex vents (so I can hide them in the stripes) or maybe a new hood altogether with vents built in. The ZL1/1LE vented hood doesn't really work with the stripes I have.
Spoiler. I really like the high-wing spoilers in the "idea" cars above, but Mrs Dex likes the Anvil.
Nightowl Halo kit.
Painted door/dash inserts. Thinking of having them hydro-dipped with a yellow carbon fiber.

Ultimately I want to have what I would imagine if Bumble Bee was a street-legal racecar putting down over 700rwhp.
