what mod will you make to your 5th gen

What mods will you do to your 5th gen based from the concepts. Engine wise exterior or interior and of course the diff. engines that you want to use like the rumored LS3 or LS7.

personally i will probaly get a perfomance programmer and better spark plugs and a cold air induction system.

I'll buy whatever the 1LE-equivalent is.

For mods, I'll get a second set of wheels and a set of track tires, and then I'll spend time driving the car hard and getting to know it before I decide what to change.

A windscreen, if it's not a OEM option.

my vote is booooost or H/C :usa:

The FIRST thing I'm going to do is get rid of that AWFUL gold bow-tie.:mad:

Besides that, I can't see doing too much at first. Maybe some simple bolt-on's. We'll probably have to wait a little while for the aftermarket to catch up.

Eventually I'd like to do headers, exhaust, computer tune...that sort of stuff...have to see what the aftermarket will bring us.

cannons in the head lights...

Stripes and cowl hood. w00t

Appearance wise, nothing. Performance wise, I would start with a full exhaust and go from there.

Sub-Frame connectors, chip, K&N filter to start

Having gone down this slippery slope with my '98 SS and experienced many of the positives and negatives associated with adding mods, my sincere hope is that GM will make available a Top Dawg Camaro with 500+ HP that will suit my needs just fine, without having to do anything over and above a couple of basic bolt-ons. (if that)
Obviously, everyone has their own priorities with respect to what they want the car to be capable of. What works for one person won't necessarily work for the next guy. I feel somewhat fortunate in that my priorities are fairly basic. I'm interested in having a versatile, comfortable car that is easy to drive, can give a good account of itself on an autoX layout and stay out on a road course for a 20-30 min. lapping session without any brake fade. I also need it to be a great long distance cruiser that gives reasonable fuel economy on the highway. Drag racing does not come into the picture at all for me.
After a couple of experiences behind the wheel of a C6 Z06, I do not feel that my expectations are unreasonable. In my mind, the Z06 has a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde personality in that by keeping a light foot on the throttle, the car gives very few clues as to what it can do. It's a very easy and civilized car to drive around town. But hammering the loud pedal obviously transforms the car into a sharp-edged, highly capable missile that plays in a league with cars costing tens of thousands more.
Am I expecting comparable performance from the Top Dawg Camaro? Realistically, I'd like to see the performance level of that car fall somewhere between the current C6 Z06 and my (modified for the road course) SS. Somewhat more power, better (and more sure-footed) handling... without as many "rough edges" as my car... would fill the bill very nicely... thank you very much, GM. From what I've seen, I know that it can be done!
But just don't get rid of all the rough edges!:D

Best regardSS,

Elie

Elie, I have the same feelings you do. I hope I'll have have to do to a fifth gen is a CAI and cat-back and have between 450-500 hp. Lord knows when I want to waste money on mods, they're going on the RS :)

full exhaust, CAI, and probably a tune. Then try to hold of on heads/cam till after i get the car paid off :(. I might do some appearance mods but im more of a go guy than i am a show guy.

Nothing like getting ahead of yourself. What the hell, I'll buy a WS6 hood for mine.

Swap the gold bowtie for a blue one.

I'll certainly be doing a catback and cold air induction almost immediately. I'd think a set of longtubes would be next, provided there are some dyno charts around to indicate they're worth it. Then a tune. I'm hoping this will be on a LS3 that is already making 425+ hp, so those mods if they do the usual amount of gain will put it making some quite impressive power IMO.

I'd like to be tooling around w/ a brand new car, w/ minimal bolt ons putting down at/over 400 rwhp, the more the better (I'm crossing my fingers it makes about that stock, but who knows). If they can put this thing out w/ the LS3 and not weight 3800+lbs it's going to haul ass.

I would probally change the grill and tint the windows. Also a new exaust. Performance wise depends on what they offer if i get a 500 Hp + moter i will keep it preaty much stock. (for awile;)

I'll wait for the actual production specs to be released before I decide on what I may or may not change. :p

Single stripe..
grille swap..
anti-squat traction add ons..
CAI
Programmer
good rubber

I'll probably upgrade the audio system and install an alarm system. I'm not going to get ahead of myself on anything else until I actually own the car and see what I want to improve. Since this will be a daily driver, I'm guessing that 400-ish horsepower will be plenty for me, and I won't drop a grand on a catback, so unless there are affordable catback options, I'll probably happily live with the original.

I'd rather put mod money into my IROC than my daily driver.

I'm gonna put a car seat in the back.

LOL.... that's funny.... becasue I will be doing the same :)

Vigilante torque converter and drag radials along with a 160 stat and cooling fan switch would be the first things done.....

No car seat for me, but I hope there's enough room in back for my lab. :D

Ha ha, no bitches in my car ;) (well, not the ones with 4 legs :think: ).

Realistically, probably a set of long-tubes, and "maybe" a cat-back if the factory exhaust doesn't cut it (although the Concept sounds nice? ;)) and then likely a CAI or whatever the aftermarket offers for "improved" air intake :) (ie: lid) ... and a tune :thumb:.

Assuming the car comes with well over 400 HP from the factory, there won't be such an "urgency" to get more power out of it. Heck, it's taken me over 4 years with my '02 to finally get to doing headers and a tune!! :lol:

I would remove those stupid GM logos that I'm sure they'll put on the fenders. That's about it.

Aftermarket performance tires and lightweight rims, strip down of alot of the interior, and finally roots style blower to sit on top of the engine while being exposed through the carbon fiber hood. fuel injecters will be on the intake manifold if you needed to know,, just a air filter will sit above the blower.

Add a few decals to personalize it and I'm done.

Who you callin' a bitch!?!

Sadly I will probably have to get rig od Big Red (my Silverado) when I get the Camaro... so my Yellow Lab will be riding shotgun right next to me....

cam, headers, exaust, chip n maybe a procharger

I'm going to slap a big autobot logo on the hood. That way, I'll be able to pic up chics in my bitchen camaro. :cool:
