ZL1 Drivetrain Suspension

I hope I live to see the day that some billionaire has the wild idea to put the suspension and drive train of the new ZL1 Camaro into a thirdgen. Why? Why not. Barely street legal.. I think I heard something similar in a VW commercial

Re: ZL1 Drivetrain Suspension

I'm assuming it would be a very complicated swap if you wanted to retain the MR shock damping ability. The number of computers in that car talking to each other is insane.

Re: ZL1 Drivetrain Suspension

I'd use the motor, trans, calipers, rotors, turn the diff into a stick axle and ditch the indy rear crap.
