GN's are cool, but I say keep what ever makes you happier. If your gonna make your Camaro into a good looking, big horse power machine. Id say do that. Most Camaros you see now a days look like ****, a nice clean LSX powered Camaro with a good cammed rumble will put a smile on any face.

Let me put it this way. I see about four to five camaros on average EVERY day. I have YET to see a GN in person. Keep the GN. Buy another camaro down the road.

Well sound slike you made the right decison. The GN might very well be one of the only cars now that is going to steadily appreciate in value for a very very long time. ANy money you put into it you will most likely get back out of it plus some.
Modding the GN isnt actually as expensive as some would think, a converter, bigger turbo, intercooler and injectors will make that a low low 12 second car that weighs 4k+ lbs. the rear ends untouched will get you to the 10s. the tranny will need to be built but i say the GN is more responsive to mods then a camaro, mainly because its forced induction i suppose.

I understand the rarity of the GN. Cant remember the last time i saw one. Looks are nothing rememberable. Something like a Cutlass or Grand Prix. Very boring. But if your camaro is beat up, you could sell that and still buy a little nicer one and have both.

To each man his own I guess..
I'm all for the GN's looks. They're kinda classy, and it looks like its up to no good with the straight black paint, maybe smoked out rears and headlights. Can't forget the huge DRs/Slicks in the back to let everyone know what's up.
Basically it's my secret dream car..
And there's nothing more badass then owning a turbocharged car anyways.
