One Sweet Camaro!

I would love to have this engine set up in my Firebird..... :hail:






The painted Firehawk wheels add an interesting touch. Im not too fond of the pastel colors though.

I am new to the new engines, but what is so nice about the LT5? And why would it go for $20,000?

I was wondering the same thing. I like pastels, but only in one solid color. I don't care for the paint at all. ZR1 install is out of this world because that engine is so expensive to get, not to mention repair.
