Check out this 1999 Hugger Orange Chevy Camaro SS - known all around the world as the HOSS.
In 1999 General Motors (GM) only made 375 HOSS Camaros with T-Tops, out of those 375 only 174 were Manual 6 speed cars! This is an SLP (Street Legal Performance) Build #1373​ Born December 4th, 1998.
Hugger Orange was only used by GM in 1969 and 1999. They only used this paint color on the Camaro, never to be used again!

[@toysforboysrc]

My media question is why are you using a BMW transmission? Is zippy because it had to be done like that? Would it of had still worked with the V6 or V8 Camaro transmission? I’ve been wanting to do a case swap for so long in the 1998 Camaro is one of my favorite chassis, So that’s why I’m asking?

[@andrewziegler2608]

There is no replacement for displacement but this k swap is perfect for a track build. The car will be lighter than a v8 better for the corners. Plus more room for a turbo. You will just need some coil overs cuz of the weight difference. Can’t wait to see this finished

[@HOSSgarage]

Man I cannot wait to get it on the track I’d love to see how the car handles straight and through the curves

[@sstevocamaro]

[@gtgodbear6320]

With that long front end. That Camaro might end up being a front mid-engine car. Build a 850hp+ K24/K20 head and that could be a circuit monster. Light, great handling, balanced weight distribution. The sound might not match the look but it would be an awesome racecar.

[@emperornero5178]

I've been thinking about either putting a k series or a Barra in my 92 caprice

[@toweringhorse2054]

I’m thinking about doing a k20/24 build for a Pontiac Firebird. What transmission are you using? Also would an S2000 6 speed work too?

[@HOSSgarage]

Dude that’s awesome! I love the Firebird!! I’m using a BMW ZF5 speed trans oh that’s 2006 speed will also work it’s all a matter of finding the right adapter plate! If you do it let me know it would be cool to do a video together and have them side-by-side

[@toweringhorse2054]

@@HOSSgarage I’ll definitely be sure to keep you updated. Getting everything in there wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But engine and transmission mounts will probably be the biggest problem.

Not the first 4cylinder Camaro 👌🏻 I owned a 1984 with the Iron Puke TH700R4 many years ago. Always wanted to do a Pontiac Solstice motor, made since at the time as it was the Technology available in those days. I currently own my dads old 71 C10 V8 and daily an 06 CR-V after years of rocking a 98 EJ8 Civic and owning a bit of everything makes me love shit like this.

[@HOSSgarage]

Definitely not the first “4 cylinder Camaro” but definitely the worlds first “4 cylinder Honda Powered Camaro” Pontiac solstice engine sound cool too! I love third gen camaros!

[@benbutcher86]

@@HOSSgarage Kinda sad it was a real SS but anything can be reversed if so desired later. I’ve been looking into alternative power plants for the C10 LS LT and Electric And after seeing GM put Turbo four cylinders into the Silverados I’d imagine this is a cost effective way to lighten up the truck, increase power over the stock 307 it came with and possibly see mileage gains while enjoying Honda tuning in an unsuspecting package.

[@kevincrawford6864]

Reminds me of f1, when they took the heavy v8 motors out and threw in a smaller turbo motor making the cars faster.
