Rob my buddy Chris has a 01 Z28 Bone stock LS1 6 speed. All he had done was a Whisper lid, MAF, Smooth bellows, and a Loud mouth exhaust, and ran a 12.84 @ 111mph on stock tires and stock gear. Them cars RUN!!! He actually wants a piece of you!
The cool thing would be to get a 1LE SS Camaro. They are bare fisted street warriors with no options....crank windows, no power locks, etc.
