since you have both a vert and coupe, let me ask you which one feels i guess you would call it stiffer or more controlable on the road? alot of coupe guys say it acts diff with the targa top out, so i am wondering what a vert feels like next to a coupe handling wise?? if any at all?
thanks

I noticed on your red coupe that it looks like you have the chrome wheels. How do you like them? My 88 looks identical to yours and I've been toying with the idea of replacing the stock wheels with chrome ones. Several guys have talked me out of it saying that they don't hold up as well as the clear-coated stock ones. If you bought them from someone where did you get them? Any other pics?

Thanks.

I would have to say the coupe handles the best because it has select ride control and a 383 under the hood plus it has the heavy duty
suspension the roadster is bone stock with just over 9k miles on the clock both are 6speeds

My copue has chrome plated 89 sawblades on it
I had them plated a few years ago back then the cost was around $150.00 dollars per wheel
I have allways liked the look of the wheels but the old ones looked like a dog had peed on them they were very dull
I am very happy with them now

WHat kind of exhaust system do you have? THe car sounds great. Also, how hard is it to maintain those wheels? Are they easily chipped or damaged?

My exhaust is TPIS headers a hollowed out cat with a pair of low restrictive mufflers and stainless steel tips as you can see in the pictures

As far as my wheels I had them plated about three years ago they have never been a issue and very easy to clean (my car never sees any salt or snow though either)
