To contain the 376ci beast, the SS has a Level 5-built T-56 from RPM Transmissions. A Pro 5.0 shifter and SPEC Stage 3 clutch negotiate the beefed-up six-speed, which is matched to a SPEC billet flywheel. A 3.5-inch aluminum driveshaft, from fellow Floridians BMR Fabrication, transmits the LS3's commands to a Moser 12-bolt. A 4.10 ring gear, Eaton posi, and 33-spline axles provide not only excellent street manners, but also the means to mount up a set of slicks and head to the track. In the coming months Anti Venom expects to have the SS back at the track for some updated times.
When the SS returns to the old 1320, Lovell will be glad he outfitted it with a full complement of BMR suspension parts. From the tubular K-member and A-arms to reduce frontend weight to the Extreme torque arm, subframe connectors, and adjustable street rear control arms, you can be sure that this SS is quite well-endowed. Greg even installed an adjustable Panhard bar and relocation mount to provide the added room for a future true dual-exhaust system. The car is lowered 1 inch closer to the Earth with the help of BMR progressive rate springs, as a BMR 32mm front and 21mm rear sway bar add roll stiffness to the full-weight street car. A Baer two-piston front brake kit also adds to the F-body's handling abilities, with the stockers proving more than adequate in the rear. Black Grand Sport 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear wheels give the SS an edge, while Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs give traction.
Subtle is the word of the day--from the painted rims to the flamed Bow-Tie emblem on the front bumper. The export version rear bumper, however, is perhaps the most remarkable touch for its rarity. Few to no other U.S. F-bodies have ever worn this piece--but it pays to know people. If you look closely, you'll notice the taillights are also swiped from the European-spec Camaro. The factory black leather interior is intact, but contrasted by Macewan white gauge face overlays. Another nuance Greg added to the cockpit was a one-click "express" down control on the passenger window (just like the driver side). While Lovell and the crew at Anti Venom familiarize themselves with the LS3, don't expect this Camaro to stay subtle for very long as they unlock the Gen IV's true potential on the track and the dyno.

 The interior is standard fare...  The interior is standard fare for an SS, enhanced only by Macewan white-face gauge overlays and an "express" down window control on the passenger side. A Pro 5.0 shifter navigates the RPM Level 5-built T-56. |  Grand Sport 17x9.5 and 17x11...  Grand Sport 17x9.5 and 17x11 rims are a subtle departure from the stock SS rims, however, they allow ample Goodyear rubber. Baer two-piston front brakes add a touch more stopping power and fade resistance. |  You know what the difference...  You know what the difference is between a Camaro in America and a Camaro in France? It's the little differences, as Vincent Vega would say. Notice the lights in the bumper and the peculiar configuration of the taillights ... both pieces were ripped from the export-only version. I wonder if they call it "Le Camaro." |
