Project Z/LE
Hey everyone , I'm going to start another build thread for my other upcoming camaro ( hopefully ) .
Project Z/LE why the name ? because i always wanted to own a 1LE camaro , and in my country they don't offer them in showrooms , and if i wanted one id have to wait for 6 months to get it. but normal SS camaro's are in stock. so getting back to the name Z/LE i was inspired by the Z/28 , I'm not a man that likes exact replica projects , sooooo..... combining both the 1LE and the Z/28 , I've gotten an idea of building a normal camaro SS into a track capable car , which contains some of the exteriors of the Z/28 and the 1LE combined. (20-5-2014) Car color ? there are two 2014 camaro's that are available in the showroom , and if they get sold , ordering a camaro would be my only option , so I'm stuck between black and a red rock metallic. (31-08-2014) when ? i just bought a 2014 camaro 2ss rs in summit white , took a long time to wait but let the fun begin mods ? going with my own taste of mods and they are the following ( for now ): Performance: 1- Kooks longtube Headers 2- CAI intake 3- Air-raid throttle body spacers 4- BBK throttle body 5- SLP performance thermostat 6- BMR drop springs 7- Taylor spark plug wires 8- NPP dual mode exhaust 9- Dyno Tune 10- Nightfury Cams 11- L99 to LS3 swap Exterior: 1- Flat black hood ( 1LE inspired ) 2- ACS side rockers 3- Carbon Fiber hood vent ( Z/28 inspired ) 4- Giovanni portofino wheels in gloss black 20" 5- ACS front splitter 6- VDI lambo doors 7- Oracle Ghosted sidemarkers 8- Carbon Fiber spoiler ( Z/28 inspired ) 9- Custom Fenders ( Z/28 inspired ) 10- Heritage Grille 11- Custom Flowtie 12- Xenon Side scoops 13- Custom Z/LE badges around the car I'm going to leave you guys with the custom badges that I've created combining the Z/28 with the 1LE logo and the car stay tuned for updates Last edited by SilverSlayer-SS; 09-01-2014 at 12:00 PM. |

I like this concept. You're going to have a great vehicle, but for the performance aspects of either the Z/28 or 1LE, I have a couple of suggestions for parts that might not be up to the standards mentioned.
I would hold off on the lowering springs, throttle body, and throttle body spacer. The throttle body will help more when you're moving past the basic bolt-ons. The spacer is throttle response, not performance. The drop spring are going to be placed on stock suspension equipment. For real performance, you want coilovers, and you should consider a full 1LE Track Pack while you're under there. The benefits will be much better. I like the cosmetic work. You're going to have an awesome car.
