No! Fleet sales! Profits! Motor trend!

Sorry I can't control myself when I spend too much time on Camaro6. Now I have a mullet as well. Please help me.
Are you finding close relatives unusually attractive yet?

Camaro is 455HP and (the important part) 455 ft/lbs of torque. The Ford Power Packs are not going to get you another 55 ft/lbs.
That's why we have an extra non-overdrive gear in the manual transmission along with different ratios. When you look at the torque to the wheels in the area it matters (for racing), you'll notice the advantage the camaro has is largely gone.

With that said, the camaro is always going to be/feel faster off of idle and lower rpm conditions due to it's greater LOW END torque.

New lightweight wheels for sure, those PP 19's are anchors at 33 pounds a piece. Rear seat is a good removal, light weight rotots, light weight battery, exhaust to remove the suitcase, and a lighter driveshaft. Just read the whole what weighs what thread for the 30 plus pages on the shitter.
Yup, these are definitely on the list.

Seems very fitting where you read the thread...:lol:
