No one has done it and no one probably will. It would run too much, enough for most to just consider buying the actual car..

Agreed 100%. Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it. With that being said, just sell the 5th Gen, buy a 6th Gen and save a pile of money. It is the same as the guys buying a V6, then wanting to drop a V8 into the car (just buy an SS from the start). Hey, if throwing money down the toilet is your thing...go for it. Good luck.

Wasn't there a concept custom 5th gen Camaro that had a similar front end to what finally evolved on the 6th gen? I think it was yellow in color.

Yeah, it was the 2014 Camaro Concept, I think. Same style used for one of Bumblebee's forms in Age of Extinction, if I recall. Didn't look as mean as the 6th, it just looked... thin.

I swear. If your reply is always about feasibility, then the question probably wasn't for you. I got the same shit when I started my v6 to v8 swap on my 2012 formerly v6 camaro.

Did you ever finish that swap? I never saw how your build turned out.

Never re-build what could already be bought from the mothership.

I'm referring to the exact "wannabee" copies.

Sure there are exceptions with some exotic cars, a replica Shelby Cobra comes to mind

Otherwise, it just doesn't make financial sense period.
