No, it goes like this....

A guy buys a body in white after the 2009 PRI Show when it is not guaranteed that GM Performance would still exist in 2010 and beyond. The BIW finally showed up in the Fall of 2010. That same guy was told at the 2011 PRI Show that if the COPO did actually get built he was unlikely to be selected for one. So, he went home and started construction on a stocker instead. He then got the call from Chevrolet that he was getting a COPO. The BIW project got put to the side. In 2013 when he was told that he couldn't have a second COPO that guy went back to work on his BIW (And purchased another BIW, but that story is for another time). Guess what, that guy got the call that he could indeed buy a second COPO in 2014. So, the BIW got pushed to the side again. A decent specification was released yesterday. Care to guess what that guy is going to do?

Also, that guy has two 2016 CRC Camaros, so he is not sure what he will bring to Indy.......

A 2015 Camaro SS flood car will get you part of the way there.

Let me guess!! This narcissistic guy who speaks in the 3rd person is going to build said soft combo, show up at Indy with a shotgun for a knife fight, win class and then walk around with his head high and chest out as if he actually accomplished something in stock eliminator?

Is the 2014-2015 body unique in that none of the 2010-2013 body parts will interchange ?

The shell, doors, and front fenders are the same. The deck lid, fascias, lights, inner fenders, and hood are different. There are a bunch of small parts too. Chevrolet gave away some kits in 2014. It is a pretty easy swap. About a days work.
