Please remove your chip and kindly STICK IT UP YOUR chocolate whizzway. Nice to know it bothered you though!
Wanna race my Camaro? I'll Drive backwards to keep it fair.
J/K Haha.
Oh yeah--- It might beat a Hemi BUT IT WON'T BEAT A NEON!

But just to rebuttal...last time I checked, the LS4 interiors are much nicer than both a 2000 camaro AND a neon. I do agree our interiors could be better...I especially hate the plastic doors....but really you're comparing with a dated camaro and a neon interior...lol.I've walked a neon...before mods. Neons are def good bang for your buck cars speedwise...and there are some factory freaks running good 13's....but...it's still a girls car at the end of the day...

He probably doesn't even own a Camaro. He's probably some 15 year old kid with no car that has nothing better to do then come on here and talk nonsense. Silly kids. Mom needs to make the parental controls on his computer a little stronger.
Buts its ok, these guy will clean it up.

By the time you add all the options that come standard on the Grand Prix GXP to the Charger R/T You have a $36,000 car. Get the GXP and spend less than half the price diff. on mods and you'll spank any new era Charger dodge has to offer including the SRT8 and do it for less money than those poor guys spent.

But on the real, the interior IS better than a 2000 camaro or neon. Def needs work though. I'm hoping the G8 will solve all my problems....even if it isn't a monte. =P

The MCSS has a way better interior than the Imp, ergo wise. The '06 MCSS and ImpSS do not share the same interior. As we covered in a previous thread, the seats and console are different, IP may be the same, but dash is not.
Just drove a Imp when the MCSS went in for a new TPMS system (damn good remote range - WOW!), thought I was going to slide out of the seat everytime I turned a corner.
MCSS interior is by far more comfortable than the Camaro's, the LED backlighting is killer on the MCSS, makes the Camaro's look very dim.
And yes, you are comparing an '06 to a '98 design, which is a compliment to the Camaro since it's 8 years older. From what I see, the Z28SS was built for one thing, to be a street legal race car, no excuses made.
Ride quality - MCSS; ergo - MCSS; snow traction - MCSS; acceleration - Z28SS; top speed - Z28SS; from a dig (any where / any speed) - Z28SS; high speed cornering - Z28SS; braking confidence - Z28SS; female attention - Z28SS; Police attention - Z28SS
You want to see a damn nice interior, sit in a C6 Vette with the M6 and the telescoping steering column. Combine into the Z06, end of discussion.
This is again why I feel the MCSS makes a great daily driver, I feel it will do 75 - 80% of what the Z28SS will do, and can be driven 365.

I had a GTO http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...2/OurGoata.jpg. Until wife totalled. You are right seats don't fold down and trunk is TINY.
But who needs a meaner look coming at you when you can intimidate the hell out of them blowing by them from behind, or killing them off the line. I had straight pipes installed with tips and removed the mufflers, and let me tell you the sound of that LS2 breathing was enough to scare most right out of racing. Im still mourning the loss of our dead Goat. But now I've gotten completely off topic.

Cool, I had a GTO that got totalled too! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t=accident.jpg
Great performer and the quality was top-notch, but some people actually mistook it for a Civic! I bought the T/A to replace it when it got totalled but it is a much cruder and less comfortable car. Too bad I can't have the interior from a GTO in my T/A.
