All good points, I always wondered why they called to swap in a NA V8 with similar hp/tq numbers as it seems clear the V8 wouldn’t have improved the raw performance numbers.

Seems like they may...

Funny that you and they should mention that since it was up against a 100k AWD BMW.

I think the 1SS with no options is a better choice for the added content beyond the LT1. That’s debatable, of course.

Love this idea. Use that sweet twin turbo V6 at Chevy, not BMW prices. If they wanted to improve livability over the Camaro, wouldn’t be a bad Buick Regal GNX shock release motor

Should I order a Camaro

Looke like we have another 1.5 to 2.5 years to get these cars, I think they're a good value if you look at the dynamics vs the price. If you are careful with the order sheet you can get an SS for...

He's right except that the ratio is ludicrous. By that standard, someone making 80k a year would be limited to a 13k car, which is silly and puts most cheapo Kia's out of reach.

Also, get off the...

Given that your SS mods would probably duplicate ZL1 performance I'd say just get the ZL1, enjoy the warranty and be done with it if you can afford that.
