Welcome,
It would be prohibitively expensive to convert any non AWD car to AWD.

I can't imagine a successful conversion costing less than twenty thousand dollars. I'd even be surprised if the total came in that low.

That would involve so much customizing it would be stupidly expensive. Probably the cheapest way to do it would be to put a Camaro body on a modified AWD chassis of some kind, but then is it still a Camaro?

You could do an IRS conversion more successfully, and cheaper.

Yeah I see some of those conversion kits. Axle chassis to IRS? I'm confused.

I'm trying to picture how you would even get such a powertrain to work with the f-body platform.

You forgot about Syclones and Typhoons.


Honestly, AWD is great when you're a street car, but get in the low 11's and 10's and it starts slowing you down.

And GMC Yukon Denali's. 6.0 liter, 4l65E, and AWD factory stock. I'm not sure how you'd cram it under a Camaro, but it should be cheaper than 20K.

Just buy a WRX.
