Until the companies have measurements of every component of the car, companies can't build replacement parts. I can't wait to see what there will be to offer.

I think I am just getting a little anxious, however with all the info coming out Monday it would be a lot of fun looking at after market option possibilties as well. That way I could already have them warm and toasty waiting in my garage.

If anything was out it'd be "premarket"...

Now that I think about it, you can start to build a sound system now. The front speakers look like 6.5-inch ones, and you can get any amp or subwoofer you can afford. Go ahead and get some wires and a cap, and you're on your way.

Camaro is the official car of SEMA this year, there will be tons of stuff there but we'll have to wait until November.

i hope there is an aftermarket to recreate the concept as much as possible...like getting rid of the rear bump and making the side skirts like the concept

although there isn't much you have to do to recreate the concept i want to know i can

bigger tires and lowering the vehicle should recreate the concept convertible i have as my avatar

So the rear quarter panels on the car are different than the concept?

I know I'll get a set of bigger wheels immediatley. Then, since it looks like it's coming with the LS3 motor, I'll see about getting performance upgrades. They should be out considering the LS3 is already in the Corvette. Maybe send it to Doug Rippie or another aftermarket tuner for a bad ass motor job.

its slight...they are a little bigger on the concepts and the slits are more open giving the concept a wider stance

at least from my observations through pictures

compare this picture
http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080718....n-car-revealed
to this one



but i believe the aftermarket can recreate that wider stance with ease

Ithought they did not have the same "pop" that the concept has, to bad that is one of my favorite parts of the concept. Maybe they will offer that with the SS or Z28

it shouldn't be hard to re-produce with a good bodykit or a good custom shop

i like that its slightly different from the concept that way i can make the changes and have my car shine

not that i know anything about customizing although it might be kind of hard considering the door is connected to that area
