Regarding my post about accessories and customization parts, I would like the emphasize performance parts moreso than appearance; although I am liking what shots we've seen of the appearance parts. If I can't afford the top-of-the-line car, I'd like to be able to build my car up to something similar. For example, a supercharger kit, or even an upgrade, to something like the LS9's supercharger, would be bad @$$.
Thanks.

Some people don't like superchargers plus a blower will increase the price. If you want a blower put on an after market one. it will get more HP anyway. Especially the LS3 that thing can take some serious upgrades without hurting the engine. Just give me 430 HP naturally aspirated and then you can sup it up the way you want it.

But We're mostly referring to the top dog HiPo version of the Camaro. I think in light of the CTS-V and ZR1 we can make a claim that a Blower should be an option.

And although the LS7 isn't likely for the Camaro, I'd really like to see it in a ZL-1.

E85, E85, E85!!! Please use a flex-fuel engine in as many of the different models as possible...esp. a V-8 flex engine.
sorry to make a second post, keep thinking of other ideas...

One thing I forgot to mention in my earlyer post. If it is going to be a AFM engine hopefully the (LS3). Make a button (on/off) switch for it. Just like the traction control. A LS3 with AFM would be great for those long drives to hot august nites in Reno. But for those short drives down the track it would be nice to turn it off with a button. I'm sure predator tuner will make a (on/off) switch but then you need to plug it in. A button on the dash would be outstanding.

I think I too have read that the LSA or LS8 will be replacing the LS7, which I'm fine with. The LS9 is a lot more different than the LSA, as I'm sure many people have already read: different S/C, oil squirters for the pistons, forged pistons, different intercooler, different head bolts, etc. It makes more boost than LSA does also. I wonder what power it ends up with though, since it makes peak power at redline (which I suspect would continue to rise if you were to raise fuel cutoff at 7000.) Anyhow, I'm only suggesting a SC powerplant for the top of the line, not the base.

The list looks GREAT, and I can honestly say that I agree with almost every item on the list. Thanks for compiling everything. Let's hope GM agrees, listens, and can make an affordable car implementing all of these suggestions.

im more of an exterior guy. i like the fact that the mules have the duel headlights, it sets it's self apart from the mustang. the only difference i would suggest is that you make one of the lights bigger with the smaller light just to the inside. keep the lights projection style or led. im partial to the light set up on the cadillac sts 2005 and up only because i have one. and put some chrome in the light housing like the sts. other than that i know you guys will make a ground pounder.
