Sport Coupe??

Hey, I bought a sport coupe last december. My question is, should I keep it a sport coupe or should I add the Z/28 GFX? I personally like the sport coupe look. Would a 2" cowl hood look dumb on my car? Post some pics of your coupes too, if you have them!

Thanks-
Levi

IMO keep it as a SC and buy a Z-28. Both have their own discintive looks and why try to clone a car when you can have both

You just said you like the sport coupe look, so why would you change it?

I wish I could keep my SC and buy a Z/28, but space, money and time definately play their part. I have to stick to one car. Good idea, though.

thats true, bulletboy 29. The only reason I was considering changing it over was because I am about to start the bodywork/paint. Well, now that - that's settled, does anyone have any pictures of just a SC?

Iron Duke, what kind of wheels and spoiler do you have on your SC?

For what it is worth I hope you do as you say and keep the SC look. You can build an SC with V8 power, choose good suspension parts and add SFCs, and good brakes to make it handle awesome.

Build a quick, nice handling car with fresh paint and a comfortable interior and you will have a Camaro that is fun to drive. Fun to drive in my opinion is the key to loving a car, not GFX and emblems.

You're right, and that is what I am now planning to do. One of the reasons I bought the car is because I wanted a fast, fun car that I didn't have to invest tons of money into it. And plus I won't be afraid to drive it, because it isnt my "rolling 401K plan", if you know what I mean. Thanks for the pics,guys!
