Always wanted one and the time is right so I've took the plunge, I reckon 500hp will be ok but lets see! I still have the Lambo for that kind of madness.

Not sure yet, I have a spare LS1 but the Firenza has a LS2 so really the Camaro needs to be bigger.

No but by the time they've collected it (its about 500 miles from the port) and other fees it works out at about Ł2200 which I think is cheap enough.

My friend has just brought in a Mach 1 mustang, 1972 I think, he paid about the same shipping but is thinking of flipping it and buying another.

Hell yes, good choice! A '68 Camaro has a slot in my dream garage line up.
The '69 turned a little ugly although I'd be happy with a '67!

I'd consider supercharging it but have zero interest in turboing it.
