At least trailing arms, toe rods, cradle bushings, and delrin bushings if you are going to track it or boost it.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!

Welcome aboard! What are your plans? Are you looking for bolt-on or forced induction? Daily car? Track only?

Wow, legal long tubes, cams, heads, those are the stuff of yesteryear’s dreams here in the Republik of Calunicornia. We just aspire to eating inside a restaurant again.
Congrats!

Bad timing. I have a friend selling his 2013 1LE with all those mods plus a 4L80e swap for a great price. It originally was his daily but has been a designated drag strip car for the past couple seasons. BTW, it is a low to mid 7 second 1/8 mile.

Welcome and congrats! Cold air intake, long tube headers, ported throttle body, and possibly catback exhaust are some forum favorites. After that it's all about what you plan on doing with the car.
