It has slotted rotors that are larger than stock GXP and the rear caliper is clocked higher than the stocker

Yup, thats what I am looking for. Lets be super technical! Thanks.

BTW, what tinted door lights are you talking about?

Look above the red round reflector on the inside of the door. There'* a smoked lens there and behind it is a light

Man they should have changed the grills and that'* it. I like almost everything on the concept better than the production model.

true very true. Manufacturers always seem to cut the quality and looks for cost saving

Yup.
No special engine.
No 19'*
No Corsa exhaust

Even those bits would have added a couple of grand to the price. The others would have added less, but still made a difference.

Problem is, Pontiac was asking too much for this car from day one, so they should have added this stuff to make it worthwhile.

But, I guess that is what we can do now.

I'm willimg to bet that it has the Cadillac N* aswell. Pontiac got a de-tuned version, GM'* thinking - "A camaro can't be faster than a corvette"

a set of 18" tires arent to expensive. and 18" rims will look great and handling and performance will be good also. 18" rims will be your best bet
