Well I have always thought that the GFX free Camaros made awesome drag cars. I really like both cars but you need to get some matching skinnies for the front of yours to complete the look. I really do like the simple no frills plain white wrapper. Sweet rides.

thanks for the new front wheels!
(it's just money man, when it comes in, i'll have the front wheels, those actually have my drag radials on the back, i'm out street tires until my new street wheels come in, so i can put street tires back on the car)

Mike, the IROC springs made a HUGE difference. we also put on a rear sway bar at the same time, it made such a difference in the way the car handles, i can actually feel the sloppy side-wall in them big tires out back. we'll be putting some 235/60/15's on the car to replace those big meats so the car can handle abit better, and have proper gearing, and better fuel economy as well! the springs have also settled alittle since these pictures and the stance is great. exactly where we wanted it, which is about 2" lower than the stock springs had it at.

I hear ya! I started my third gen adventures back in the day with an 85 sport coupe, and thought it was so smooth. I've got a Z28, so there will be no gfx on the sc if I end up putting one together. This would have a slammed "g-machine" look - if it happens.

OK Matt I'll strike a deal with ya, I'll foot the bill for your new front rollers, and since you are such a TPI fan, you can pay for my aftermarket base and runners! Sound like a plan? I also take donations if anyone else is interested...

mw66nova,
You inspired me to go out and take some new pics of my car today. It was a perfect day outside..doesn't happen often in Indiana. I don't mean to hijack your thread but I thought I would post a few pics. I didn't think you would mind some more sport coupe pics. It looks better with the ET streets on the back(little wider and taller) but I'm still running the street tires for now.
