I helped a friend do a manual swap in a VW, it went pretty well so in some cases it's definitely possible. I am not sure it's possible with a 6th Gen Camaro though. The car can only use 2 electronic...

I looked into it and unfortunately you really want the ZLE bumper, fenders, hood and rockers with side skirts. At that point I might vinyl wrap the whole car too. Not cheap or easy. The wider fenders...

SS 1LE is worth it imo, but tbh I'd go T4 1LE before V6 as the T4 can likely make more power cheaper and is 3300 lbs with 50/50 weight distribution. With a larger turbo and E85 it'll likely beat a...

My feeling is a stiffer front bar keeps the rear end from stepping out as much in slaloms and tight corners which is much better for autox, it basically makes the car narrower in some situations, and...
