It gets announced to the public with a limited production run and a sticker price to match. How should it be done? For one model year I should be able to walk into any Chevrolet dealer and ask a salesman; “Hey, what are the chances I could order a new Camaro with an LS7?” Then an order could be placed and it would/could all be done by word of mouth, no advertising, no hype. Fuck, even make it a 2 year run where you could do that. LSX 454 in a brand new Camaro? Sure. Keep it all under $60K. le rep for you. ---

If it was street legal and looked like the V6 Camaro, even more badasserer. I like how the original COPOs looked, like any other stock Camaro. ---

I was wondering what platform those 5.3’s are made from, LSX block must have a crazy short stroke and big bore to only get a 5.3! I like the 427 option myself. :excited ---

Its cool an all but to me theres nothing spectacular about taking a normal street car, different suspension, ton of weight out, different motor, different trans, rear etc etc and making it go fast. Also dumping $100,000 when all is said and done. Its just not an exciting thing to me.
