Short-throw shifter
Front/rear strut braces
...and some kind of lowering kit.

Really, that's it for me. I don't want a nav system, fancy transmission, 2000 watt stereo, or anything. I might have to put the strut braces on myself, but I think it's realistic <3

You eat plain yogurt don't you...

Common'! You can do better than stock!

I like vanilla yogurt...?

I want my Camaro turbo'd. There, I said it. I want the biggest, nastiest snail shell I can fit under the hood piped to the biggest chromed intercooler anyone has ever imagined. I want a frontbar with massive jowles that my intercooler peers through, and I want all the ricers to burst into tears at the thought of such a fanged beast. I want to be running on so much boost that the car is riding the upper edge of absolute unenjoyable power. Then, I want the most unnecessarily loud BOV I can find, so I can revel in joy every time I shift, as for some strange reason I can hear it over the roaring V8. While all wheel drive would be great, because I would be doing disgusting 4-wheel burnouts down the street whenever I get the whim... I'd prefer RWD as I ache to learn to put my car sideways around corners, but stay in control.

I want some magical all-window tint that fades at the push of a button so that cops can't ticket me.

That's what I want... *sigh*

...Wow.






Isn't it nice to release, and admit you're a power-hungry, Camaro enthusiast?

And Diarmadhi, I thought that when you said 'replace the drivetrain with a V8" that you assumed the Roadster held as much power as a Chevy Small block. That's why I mentioned it. No biggie

Oh, and because I'm a post-whore : I don't want any piece of GT-R underneath my Camaro...

Never thought of being the "designer", only the one to add mods to a factory car. So many thoughts going on here lol.

My dream Camaro from the factory:

- Red paint, Red interior. Red on red is amazing..
- Leather interior.
- Two painted white stripes going down the center of the car parallel to each other.
- 4 inch cal hood.
- RWD
- 6 speed automatic Transmission WITH paddle shifters.
- 4 wheel disc brakes
- Flow Master exhaust system, or some type of identical exhaust made from the factory.
- Chrome rims.
- Spoiler. (Not too big, maybe one like on the 4th gens.)
- Removable Hardtop.
- 500+ HORSEPOWER
- Cold air induction system.
- Z rated tires from Goodyear.
- TUBED CHAISE.
- FULLY TUBBED WITH HUGE SLICKS IN BACK.
- Radar scrambler.
- Lowest to ground aloud by law, (3 inches? not sure but I think its 3.)
- Oh hell, lets throw a super charger on it with a 3 inch belt

Well thats my dream car.. its a SS and a half, thats for sure. As far as me being a designer for GM, I would probably incorporate some of those things into the Camaro and make a concept with all of them for me to keep.

Say it with me now... AHHHHHHHH! Isn't that nice?!

I now give you the you deserve!

Thought of a couple of additions and I was inspired by some other folks' comments...

My Ride: AWD Camaro ZR1 Rally Sport V2

_Engine_
-GEN V DOHC Engine (4.0L->5.0L) featuring:
--Machined 7075-T7 block with plasma coated cylinder bores
--Forged rotating assembly (4340 crank, titanium connecting rods, 4bolt mains, forged pistons) so it can spin to 9000rpm!
--Sodium filled exhaust valves with 3 angle port and polish on the heads
--Long tube headers with the dual-mode exhaust from the Z06 (which can switch from 'loud' to 'louder than hell's marching band')
--Twin Mitsubishi Dual-Scroll Turbo's (larger version of those found on the BMW 335i)
--Engine Control Unit with toggle-switch-style user interface (like on a fighter plane) so I can flip to 'cruising mode' for better mileage or 'attack mode' for, um, attacking!

The goal here is 500hp with a superlight engine that can cruise the highway with good mileage (turbo's aren't active and the cylinder deactivation is runnin)

_Mechanicals_
-AWD System from the Sierra Denali
-Full Independent long travel suspension from the Holden Commodore Ute.
-Hydroformed Aluminum Frame from the Z06
-Carbon-Ceramic brakes from the ZR1
-Carbon Body panels from the ZR1
-6 Speed Auto from ZR1 with padel shifters
-Magnorheological Fluid Dampers from Cadillac
-Air Ride suspension that can be raised or lowered depending on road conditions (from Cadillac Escalade)

_Interior Items (thnx Dragoneye!):_

-Full Leather package offered in the Corvette (which covers EVERYTHING in buttery leather) with my own 'Alcantra' inserts on the steering wheel, center of the seats, and on the headliner.
-Chrome toggle switch panel underneath a hideaway panel with keypad entry (so the Valet can't mess with it!)
-Digital Display for gauges with user-configurable output (with the ability to display EVERYTHING about the car, a la' the Nissan GTR's crazy setup)
-User configurable interior soft lighting with puddle-lamps
-Engine-Turned waterfall style center console (old hot-rod look)
-Hidden stereo with iPod interface

_Exterior Style_
-Perlescent Royal Blue Exterior Paint
-White Pearl 'Rally Stripes' painted on!
--Carbon fiber hood and trunk have thin layer of paint so you can see the carbon weave just below the surface
-Chrome Wheels (just like concept) in 21" up front and 22" out back
-'Gurney Flap' type spoiler on trunklid
-Carbon Fiber splitter on the front, with chrome supports
-HID Headlamps with hideaway covers

Now we're gettin somewhere!...
