sleeper vs. bragger

Ok, I'll admit it. I was wrong about the 3.8/5.7 I can definitely afford an LT1, and the insurance quote I got from geico actually quoted me lower on the LT1 than in an Altima... (confused but not complaining.)

Anywho I'm probably getting ahead of myself, I may not even get the LT1, but... Would you rather keep Z28 badges on it, and put 5.7 inside window decals or would you rather strip the badges and put this (rather stylish) V6 badge on it and go around bragging about your 3.4?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHROM...QQcmdZViewItem

It's currently a toss up for me, I don't want to seem so damned proud of a 3.4... but it may be worth it to see the look on the stang GT kid's face when I destroy his V8.

Anywho to explain the options-

rip off Z28 badges and anyone than knows anything about Camaros will think its a V6 just by looks

Off with the Z28 and place V6 badges (for my friends who prolly don't know that no badge = V6)

Keep Z28 badge

Keep Z28 badge and put "5.7 inside" window decals (as a joke to my 5.0 friend)

Re: sleeper vs. bragger

I would keep the z28 badges. It would be fake otherwise. Plus... just by having the badges doesn't mean everyone will think its fast (and it very well could be)

That brings up an interesting question. Why are cars smooth? why Arn't they rough like those skark skin suits that swimmers wear. I think I am going to go cover my car in 20 grit sandpaper...

I'd say no badges if you can afford a nice paintjob that is simple, but grabs attention(graphite grey w/ black stripes or something) or keep the Z28 badges and don't worry about the paint. People will think you are the regular old 305

That brings up another option, get some 305 badges maybe?

Re: sleeper vs. bragger

Either remove them or keep them.

Just don't change them out with different ones.

Re: sleeper vs. bragger

If tou wanna be a sleeper take them off but if you want to be a bragger than go with Z28 badges. Dont put on 5.7L cuase then nobody would like you.
