Corvette suspension in first gen Camaro?
 

I'm looking around for a first gen camaro and have seen one with what looks like a complete corvette drivetrain and rear suspension... what's involved in this... any internet writeups... approximate costs... etc.

Yay! First post! :willy:

Thanks, and I hope you guys can take greater pity on this BMW boy than my brother-in-laws do (1974 Gold Duster w/ 340 cu in and a 1970 Chevelle SS with a 540 cu in). Its my only claim to fame in the domestic muscle car world.

The front suspension swap is pretty cut and dried as it's been done quite a bit. It's as easy as a subframe swap. However, for the rear, that's a different story. It will take quite a bit of fabricating, I'd suggest talking to a professional builder that's done it before. 21st Century Street Machines would be a good place to start.

BTW, welcome to Lateral-g. :thumbsup:

Hmmm... where the heck did they get a complete 2005 C6 drivetrain from?

Anyway, I'm thinking for the price I will probably go with a complete air ride setup front and rear. I'm sure the stuff is heavy, but its suppose to be an excellent road racing suspension.

was a wrecked car

there's also a cheaper ls1 drivetrain on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LS1-S...07986648QQrdZ1

You might want to explain what your definition of 'excellent' is. I don't think 'air bags' and 'handling' really go in the same sentence just yet. They still have some questions to answer over at PT.com
