So, Why Would YOU Modify Your Chevrolet Camaro When You Can Just Get An OEM ZL1?

So, Why Would YOU Modify Your Chevrolet Camaro When You Can Just Get An OEM ZL1?
Ah, the age-old battle of to modify or to NOT modify.

As you already know, we're a fan of personalization and making something your own. That's half the fun of making any purchase, whether it's an automobile or a new iPhone or Android.

But I can't just wrap my head around some of the projects and modifications that come out from tuners, custom designers and the like. Frankly, they just don't add anything nor do they look particularly good in a majority of the cases.

Take, for example, the Paul Jr. Designs Camaro. Sure there's the additional power, coil over suspension and modified interior, but then the rest of it is, arguably, heinous. I can't even look at those 22-inch Forgiato wheels without getting cross eyed.

And if you really want that aftermarket look, the ZL1 essentially provides that with its carbon fiber-insert hood, optional black wheels, quad-tipped exhaust and massive front valence.

So, why would YOU modify your Chevrolet Camaro when you can just get an OEM ZL1?

Most of the time folks wind up investing as much as it would have cost to just go get the OEM variant anyhow...

Ummmm, maybe because you couldn't afford to buy a ZL1 when you bought your Camaro? Or because you genuinely enjoy working on your car. Maybe you don't want Orem power and you'd like to drop a supercharger and a different exhaust on your car. There are hundreds of reasons.

Strongly second comments above. I would put one reason at the top of the list because it truly reflects human nature... " Anybody with a big check book can buy a cookie cutter car from the factory but I want to stand out and make the car my own, make a a statement and draw attention to me !"

Why would anyone want to buy a high performance Camaro with its so called "heartbeat of America" engine built in.....MEXICO.

So much for the American Camaro. A total falsehood.
