-ls7, ls7, come on "ls7", "cream of the crop" motor (yall know what it is)
-3300 from factory then strip er down to about 3100 or 3000 pounds (do what ever you gota do)
-t56 6 speed tranny
-aluminum or carbon fiber drive shaft
-beffy rear end, ect, (posi, supportive)
-put a good japenese suspension in there (aggresive)
-lip spoiler
-all black (color)
-a nice wide stance
-bulging "speed" hood (reverse scoop)
-18" in front 19" in back (first thing i'll do is have some lightweight drag deep dish aftermarket wheels put on)
-255's up front and 335's out back (in that area)
-2 seater
-targa or t-tops

Light weight, lots of power, with the agressive looks and handling and of corse some desent electronics for the intereir, flip screen or sumthin but no traction control or any of that crap, keep it dope GM, you some heros in my book if all goes good!

Wow are you a dreamer, and for the 100th time the LS7 will be gone before the Camaro even comes out.

To be honest it doesnt matter what they do or how close they come for what a vast majority of us wants. Not everyone is going to be happy. Bottom line!

English your second language? Its hardly a secret that the LS2 and the LS7 are going to be out of production and replaced by other motors before 2009.

I would like embroidered seats, to go along with the package you have.
I also agree with the Navigation system, preferably a touch screen deal, and also the HUD, that would be killer.

Hopefully they can make the backup lights brighter so when we tint our windows we can see what the hell is going on back there. ****, even without tint you can't see a damn thing.

I would also like to see automatic shift boots instead of those cheap slider things. I hate those damn sliders so much it's beyond words.

The last thing I NEED in this car are cup holders. I don't give a flying **** what anyone has to say about that either. I refuse to be one of those people who buy a A/C vent cup holder. Make it a slide out one or whatever, just include at least 2 cup holders.

Thanks for all of the great feedback everyone!

Gonna shut this thread down now since I'm preparing to head to Detroit.

This will make for a nice stack of paper to bring along!
