Default Building a Supersnake

If you were going to mod a car to LOOK like a supersnake, would you start with a GT or GT500? I don't really care about the supercharger, I care more about the looks than performance. In other words, adding a hood, Alcoa wheels, single stripe, lowering etc...

Your best starting point would be a GT500. Considering it is a GT500 Supersnake.

if you dont care about the power, then the gt would be cheaper route to go.

I do think if you are going to put the Snake emblems on, then you should have the "go" to back it.
It's no different than a V6 adding GT or GT500 parts minus the emblems, it's all about looks. Trust me, V6 owners get ragged on all the time about it!

GT500 or go home

If it ain't one to start, IMO you shouldn't be trying to replicate it.

emulate the vehicle a bit...that is cool and everybody does it. IMO you should only do the CLONE if you go ***** out and do it 100%.



otherwise, if you just want looks, a V-6 will give you a better CHEAPER platform to start from.
