Schwabenfolia bolted on a TVS2300 Magnuson compressor to the Camaro SS’ 6.2-liter V8 engine boosting output to 518-horses (525PS).
To optimize handling, the tuner upgraded the chassis with a KW coilover suspension, while the SS rides on 20-inch wheels wrapped in tires size 245 up front and 275 at the rear.
On the outside, visual modifications include a special foil wrap in a matte shade called ‘Anodized Blue’, with the roof, center part of the hood, mirror caps and rear spoiler decorated in a 'Black Brushed Steel’ wrap, and the sides with a white pin stripe. The finish touch comes via a pair of LSD doors.
