There isn't a single component, here, that doesn't already exist and/or isn't GM-certified/validated, now or shortly.
This is
not a new concept... All manner of Camaro-based support for a BOSS-specific competitor exists, and has since
well before the BOSS appeared...
Serious discussions occurred in Summer/Fall-'09, regarding this type of Package. Through an enterprise well-regarded by GM, but ultimately lacking Team support, then; the supply of cars was given as the "issue" and, as you know, "two-sticker" Programs are "banned". But
that was "then"...and
this is "now". Since then, ZL1-specific components await: trans, HD driveline, brakes, wheels/tires; FE4 is now developed.
Just how many Camaros, as spec'd above, does the Team need to create a
Spring-'12 Launch? 2,000? 5,000? 2-per-Dealer?
Float
this specific idea in
HRM, or
Motor Trend, or
CandD, or
Camaro Performers and see what the response is. Fulfilling the above numbers
would happen!
Regardless of the numbers required, I can
GUARANTEE you 1...Black-on-Black, hold the stripes!
Oh, and the name? Does anyone need to
ASK?!
