On another note the author of this thread indicated that on a Camaro you could change classes by changing the hood alone .To properly make it into an SS one must also add the "correct" three piece rear spoiler among other small items . Super Sport Camaro's were available in 1996 on.........

Good catch Jack, I realized that after the post went up. I couldn't find anything that stated the SS was availiable in 96, forgot about the spoiler so I guess it was a few more cosmetics than I actually mentioned.
It appears to me that the best option for running a F body would be the Pontiac based on the numerous ndy choices.
