Default 5th Gen LS1tech Edition Camaro

You all know about the Berger, GMMG, Intimidator, and Dick Harrell edition camaros, well what if we could get GM to make a LS1tech Special Edition Camaro. I see it as everyone on here would vote on what motor to put in it, what mods to have done to it and everything else your mind fancys. Would it be possible to make a petition to persuade GM to let the members of LS1tech create the newest 5th Gen Camaro special edition??? Im sure Nineball would be very happy to see that this fourm made such an impact on bringing the Camaro back, that GM would consider this idea to make the LS1tech Special edition Camaro. Who on here would be interested in something like this???

I would say throw in an ls7, 6 speed, with a real rearend, and great brakes that don't warp and a discount and I'd be all over it.

Haha, yeah, that's a great idea. But if they did that, it means they'd have to contract someone to custom fit FORD rearends.....and that ****'s just not gonna fly with management

Maybe just asking GM to start with an 'adequate' rearend would be the way to go.
