How do you guys feel about the rest of the car? Do the panels fit nicely, is the interior comfortable, does the car ride well?

Looks like a slight bump in low end tq in the 3000 rpm range. You should spec out that cam. Just curious since they supposedly gave it a differerent camshaft.

Hope the motor is positioned in the body better so you can get to the damn plugs better.

While I know they're not going to perform like a quality long tube they might be better than the stock F-body/C5 versions hopefully.

I read that too. I think that 250 rating is not a HP rating but what Aussies use to calculate power. I'm not sure what they call it. It's in the mag. Anyway the US HP rating is 350HP.

Come on guys, do you really think we'll quit with swapping heads/cam? The goat will have some sort of forced induction by March, but we'll share more information on that as it gets closer.

The interior is definitely the best part of the car (not counting the drivetrain of course!). GM needs to take notes because it is certainly one of the nicest interiors to roll out in a GM car. The car has a full-size feel but is ready to run when your foot gets heavy. We've already taken some various parts of the car apart, and it's pretty interesting what we've found. We're keeping somewhat tight-lipped for now since we have some parts in development, but it's pretty cool. I really like the full-size feel of the car. It gives the car a truly useful backseat that is REALLY comfortable with the rear buckets! Someone over 5' tall can actually fit back there comfortably, something us f-body owners aren't used to! We'll have some pictures added to our website soon.

Patriots probably 25-30HP
Good Exhaust (headers etc.): 15-20HP (min.)
Dyno tune (10-15 HP)

All these together would probably put car in 335-345 RWHP range

BTW, what is the weight on this pig????? (lol)
