I would say your power-train warranty will be gone if you supercharge it.

And no, "lambo" doors are not cool.

Please don't put lambo doors on. and yes that ruins your warranty. Why would you spend 7 grand on a supercharger? You could have got an SS for 7 grand more.

Agreed. You're going to spend at least 5K-6K+ on a supercharger, and it probably still won't be faster than an SS.

Do what you want to YOUR car. make it your own. a supercharger would void your warranty.

I have always agree'd with this. There is a point when you need to step in and help someone before they make silly decisions. But yes if you want a supercharged v6...it's not exactly the most economical way to go but go for it. If you go the route though make it AWD and you'll have yourself an awesome mini-GTR

I've never been a fan of lambo doors but I actually think they look great on our camaros.

Yes, it will void warranty, but with the insurance savings from a v6 to a ss. it will still cost less in the the long run..

I pay less than 500 a year on my 2012, LS, if I gone with a ss it would have been 1200 year, through USAA. Thats with 50 ded comp and collision and high liability coverage.

Some of the Supercharger options for the V6 have an optional warranty. The price will be higher, but you can probably get it all for ~$6K.

Tell usaa you tossed on a supercharger and see what happens. Ps not telling them constitutes insurance fraud and could result in denial of claims and you get dropped.
