Awesome SS! Look good. Still can't get over the cloth seats in an SS, but to each his own I guess.

Yeah I would of rather had leather, but it's not that easy to find an SS in this area, but it doesn't really matter to me about the seats. The rest of the car helps me get over it.

Welcome! I just did the same thing. I've been on this board for a while and then I got my first LS1 Sunday. It's an '01 SS as well! I suppose that you're coming to the same realizations that I am: that they are AWESOME cars!

yeah, the exhaust doesen look stock and ive never seen cloth interior on an SS. I thought leather was standard, maybe the original owner asked for cloth and u have a very rare car in that aspect. If u really want leather though, these cars are like lego cars, i swapped out my interior, to include door panels for a friends leather interior and it loos lie it came that way. nice ride though, nothin better than a red SS!
