Got an idea..

I was PM'n with one of the guys here.. he gave me a good idea of a car to swap my stuff into..I guess his dad snagged one local where he lives.

How's a 1996-1997 Camaro SS sound fellas..

I'll find one with a blown Engine and "resurrect" it..

Personally I wouldn't waste the time nor $$$. If anything I would try and find a high mileage 02-04 C5 Z06 and put time into one of those. Just me though...

I personally like f-bodies more than vettes but to each his own. A Lt1 SS would be **** if you can find one.

meh, i wouldnt waste my money, i still like ure idea about finding a v6 car, then put a 3" SS hood from VFN on it with a SS spoiler and SS badges. Save the money on the roller AND save a ton of money on the insurance since its just a "v6". IMO a SS is just a hood (which i really dont care for) and a spoiler, all which u can buy aftermarket. Eaither way id stick with the lt1 camaro body style, looks a lot meaner then lsx camaro!

Go for the V6 roller, if you like the hood/spoiler look of the SS just add them.

I was just wanting a true SS.. I won't build a clone SS.

Here is a better question before it starts a **** storm..

If I took a V6 car and integrated my Car into it..will it offend anyone if I run my Z28 Badge on the back of it..

I'm not running the side ones..give it the sleeper effect..

Oh ya my primary color I'm hunting for would be Purple Pearl Metallic, second would be Silver.

As rare as the 96-97 SSs' are I would keep your car the way it is and build the SS into a 383 na car but keep all of the original parts because the car will be worth big money down the road.

Hopefully it was a joke. Plenty of short deck windsors out there that would tear that ***.

I want one with a clean body..mine is pretty beat up and it would be cheaper to switch over to a car with a straight body intstead of fixing it all.

aw ****, I just busted out laughing. Good ****.

Whatever man, do whatever you want. The v6 is not a bad idea especially w/ the purple. No z28 badge dude.

If you're gonna do that, you might as well get the SS.
