That's what I plan on doing. I'm not gonna go too extreme with my Maxima when I'm only gonna have it for a couple more years at the most. Then I plan on trading it in for a used 2010 V6 Camaro. Then switching out the V6 fascia for the SS fascia.

in a few years, you might be able to find a great deal on a used SS

Honestly, I would love a used 2010 SS. My only fear is that I'll get an SS, and gas prices will rob all of my money.

I never thought about a cam
So wouldnt know really, maybe someone here will point out, then again theres a V8 bolt on section
I guess now that I think of it if I get remotely close to 500 I'll be happy
