That looks amazing. Did you have to do anything to get the 315's and 11"wheels to fit the front?

Nitto NT05's, 315/35/17's all around. Wheels are 50mm offset. I do have to run a 6mm spacer in the front to clear the spindle, so I'm running longer ARP studs as well. The back has the BFH mod and shaved bump stops, but I haven't had to roll the fender. And I'm lowered 1.25". I have the fronts cambered in -1.8 deg too, without that the top of the tire would probably stick out farther than I'd like.
Ah, what the hell. I wanted to take nicer pictures but the weather is so crappy here now this will have to do.
17x9.5 Z06 replicas. Nothing special - but they fit perfect and I wanted 17's as we have low profile tires on another car and it rides like crap. This is a happy medium.
As 'common' as those wheels are on these cars, they STILL look great on them, clean and simple.
Pewter 2001 Camaro SS set up for road racing.
I was ready to upgrade to a C6Z so I sold Blue. I saw this on the site and said, here I go again! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this one when I drive it but I should of held out for the Z.
Will probably revisit selling it at the beg of the month.

Did it have the seats/harnesses/cage in it when you bought it, or did you install all of that?
I hear ya on the C6 Z06, as at this point I would be over-joyed to just have a C5 Z06, but even those are still top dollar in decent shape, and < 75K miles.

It had all of the fixings when I bought it. Car currently has 56k on the clock with 3.73 gears. I've driven modded versions of both generation Z's (loved both) but for me its gotta be the C6Z.
Suspension and brake mods on the current SS are
Unbalanced Engineering Decoupling Torque Arm
Strano lowering springs
Strano sway bars
UMI Sub-frame connectors
UMI rear lower control arms, cromoly, roto-joints
UMI rear LCA relocation brackets
UMI panhard bar, cromoly, roto-joints
UMI strut tower brace, cromoly
Global West front upper control arms
Koni 4/4 adjustable race shocks
Energy Suspension polyurethane motor mounts
Energy Suspension polyurethane transmission mount
Caliber Customs 6-point roll bar, painted and cleared, gunmetal metallic
Simpson 5 point harnesses
Procar adjustable racing seats
^^^About the only things you are 'missing' are a Watts Link, and the SKF Vette front hub conversion (and maybe eventually either the Strano/UMI/Afco, or UE/Penske coil overs with, and valved for higher spring rates).
Do you run it on the Hoosier R7 gumballs for track days??

I wont hi-jack the thread but I ran hoosiers in the rear and nittos in the front for track. Running Cooper Zeon RS3-A's now, great tire for the price. Watts link was the 1st thing I was going to do after buying the car but I came across a Z that I really wanted and the investments planned for this car came to a complete stop. I wanted to make it as close to the STI Killer as I possibly could in the handling department with some personal preferences to use a LS3 vs LS6 and rear-end choice Mid-west chassis fab 9 vs Strange.
