Default Thinking about buying/modding a 2ss.

Hey,

Looking to add a nice bit of American muscle to my collection. I test drove a 2SS w/ an exhaust earlier this year, and that v8 gurgle is just intoxicating, plus it having an IRS is a big selling feature.

What I'm hoping to get out of the Camaro: *very* comfortable cruiser, excellent exhaust note, smoking tires.

I would like to go the modded route to ideally double the factory power. is 650-700 whp feasible on factory internals on pump gas? (94 Octane here)

I know absolutely nothing about tuning companies for Domestics, Can anyone recommend anyone but hennesy?

The SS I drove didn't seem to have an in cabin button to adjust the suspension. I thought the Camaro's came with GM's magneto ride suspension? Is it possible/easy to swap the suspension from a ZL1 back to a 2SS? I'm just looking for comfort as I said, and adjustability.

I was thinking of a CTS-V, but sadly it comes supercharged already so less modding for me to do, and the tail on the coupe is just hideous.

Also, does the 2SS by default come with a LSD?

You could buy a Callaway supercharged Camaro. They come with up to 572 hp, and without voiding the warranty.

Only problem really is the dog ugly hood.
