I want to spill the commercial can of beans, but I only have
• Tremec 6060 6 Speed Manual Transmission • MTI Short Throw Shifter • Driveshaft Shop HD 1400HP Axle Shafts • Be Cool Radiator • American Racing Headers • Forgeline Wheels, 20”X10.5” • Michelin Tires, 305/35ZR20 • Specter Werkes Extractor Hood • RPM Six Point Roll Bar • Corbeau TRS Leather Seats and 5 Point Belts • LS7 Engine, 681HP @ 6700 RPM / 588 LB/FT @5600 • 9.5” Differential, 373 Ratio with no preload TracRite® GT – Helical Gear Limited Slip In a few days and no further than 10 days out. I'll name names and post a rendering. I believe that this Camaro build will be a community event. There are so many that have contributed. This thread is a perfect example. I can't imagine GM isn't watching and learning because we certainly are. The only portion of this build that will disappoint the true Z/28 enthusiast is the price point. That is the only bad news and it really isn't that bad. The first car is built to a ridiculous standard. Customer builds will reflect the customer's wants, desires and budget. Only GM would be able to produce the Z/28 with more customer friendly pricing because they won't have a pile of expensive take off parts. You know, a LS3, a Tremec gear box, Brembo brakes, suspension, wheels and tires... not to mention the labor to strip it all out. The ZL1 posted spectacular numbers from the Ring run. I 'know' what our car would do, but knowing and proving are two different things. I have checked a number of items off my bucket list. I have not checked off the run the Ring with a Pedderised Camaro box. Then again, I wasn't too sure I would be involved in a build like this |

Depending on the ZL1 pricing I may find myself following what Pete is up to. I would love the see that 'Ring time.
Picking some parts from the above I think you could make your own corner carver for less than a ZL1. Figure a nice SS for about $35k, add $10k in mods, save $10k from a ZL1. I know what a Pedderised G8 can do (amazing), maybe one of these days I'll be in a Pederised SS.

Thank you, I am celebrating my 5 year anniversary of my 21st birthday to day lets hope it ends the same.
But that only means we will have just over two months for it to make production and delivered before the world end lol. But I guess I can live with what I get today, BB king is playing at my University today, so nice for the University to get him for my birthday I mean it is for me right. Also Forza 4 is waiting at my house for when I get off work.
