The good thing about having dealer installed performance parts is that it would be covered under warranty.

These are not the final customer versions of this stuff. FBodFather had already confirmed that it has mistakes. As for the gauges on a 1SS, they will be available as an accessory OTC.

I'm really happy that it has 275 tires in the rear. I thought they were 245s all around.

Why are they putting 19 and 20 inch rims on the Camaro? Performance would be better if it came with 17's or 18's. GM, don't be a follower, be a leader.

With the size they made the wheelwells you have to have that big of a wheel to fill it, otherwise you will end up with a tire with a huge sidewall which will hurt performance even more. i think i remember hearing stock tire diameter is around 29"!! Thats way taller then stock 4th gen size

factory performance mods are great for warranty, but they rape you for labor and about 3-4x the cost of the same mod anywhere else

1) spare tires are optional on all '09 chevy cars, they come with an inflater thing standard...
2) i noticed on the order code page that the camaro is now an "E" body, not an "F" body... wonder y they couldn't use the old code...
