If it was what I would want there would be a way to order a Camaro with a V8, upgraded suspension, and manual tranmission without having to pay for a package that includes leather power seats, super upgraded stereo, or any of the other things that I have no interest in. Unfortunately none of the big three make any such models any more.
No because that is a terrible business model. Most people buy cars as dd's as well. They like having seats that can be sat in to california, a super upgraded stereo that also has a back up cam and can adjust the car on the fly, and all of the other things you don't have an interest in the majority do. You would be the smallest minority wanting a stripped enthusiast pavement pounder. At that point, wouldn't you want to build the car yourself to your desires and standards?
