Re: Build Your 2009 Camaro thread II (Prices Included)
Are you even reading my post??????
I DONT KNOW WHAT THE LS7 REPLACMENT IS
The LS3 will replace the LS2
The LS9 is just another engine....
At the same time the LS9 is the LS3 but with a blower and stronger hardware to handle the extra power.
Seriously I feel like I’ve posted the exact same info 4 times now…..I can’t make it any clearer if you don’t get it…….I’m writing this in plain English…..

If you took the leather out, you could still use the same harness, and keep the power functions on the seat, you'd just have cloth instead of leather.
Power (driver side, no need for a power passenger seat imo) Cloth seats would be ideal.
I honestly couldn't care less about HUD though. If it saves me a few $$ I'll gladly leave it out.

Other then that, thank you

This could be the first car I own that I remove the badges from it if I have to get an 'SS' badged car...

Also, I don't think forced induction big cubed V8's fit in any roadracing series class's very well, if at all. Its gotta be able to fit in nicely ,like in the Grand Am cup running against the sorts like 350z, M3's and Mustangs..

I think the BIG brakes, coolers, etc., should be a standard part of the Z/28 package.
And I'd also prefer a high compression, NA, smallblock....(in a very nasty state of tune of course
) than a heavier, more complex, SC'd motor.

Re: Build Your 2009 Camaro thread II (Prices Included)
can not believe nobody else has said this, but the z28 needs bigger wheels and tires. a 275 is not big enough for 525hp. it would need a 325mm rear tire at a minimum. the z06 gets 335 for crying out loud. if i am paying 45 grand for a z28. it better have at least 345 rear and a 295 front with brakes comparable to the current zo6.
also, the camaro needs a double din radio opening for the aftermarket radio's out there, and the double din would be large enough for the people that want to spend 3000 on a factory navigation unit. if i am spending 3000 grand on a navigation system, it needs to be a dvd player, have pre- outs for the custom sub woofer system and amps for upgraded speakers, and not be tied into the climate control system. cars that have the climate control and radio system using the same display are not what most of us that customize their car want because it makes installing aftermarket radio's a pain in the ***.
just my 2 cents.
thanks
