Default Aftermarket for the '09s

The engine I'm not worried about, most major shops and builders have the LSx motors down to a science and any variant of the aforementioned shouldn't pose any issues. But what about the rest of car? How long till we see Headers, cat backs, suspension parts and other such vehicle specific parts? Any educated guess? It's hard to judge using the 93s and 98s, technology is a lot better than from 93 for the after market far as tooling and development goes, and this isn't a new motor in a older plat form.

If it hits the street with the LS3 then you will have things available right when it comes out (probably before). I have a feeling this thing is going to be huge before it comes out (already is media wise).

I just want a good intake and catback exhaust. Mine won't be modded more than that for a long time.

The aftermarket will do what it has always done, perhaps a little bit faster this time around.

Look to the right, find the PEDDERS SUSPENSION graphic, and click on it.
They make suspension parts for the 2009 Camaro already.

2007 Holden Commodore = Zeta
2008 Pontiac G8 = Zeta
2009 Camaro = Zeta

Pedders is headquartered in Australia, so they have easy access to the new Holden Commodore.

Yup, Zeta is an extremely versatile structure, it's pretty bad ***.

Zeta will ultimately underpin 750,000+ cars annually.
This is why putting IRS in Camaro doesn't add much to the cost.

I'll be doing suspension mods first thing to my 2010 camaro SS, then power adders so I can get that power to the ground.
