Honestly, who uses that cup holder anyways? Who even drinks in their cars. If I drink anything in my car it's gonna be bottled water. It doesent stain and I can just throw it on the passenger seat.

Some times I buy a fountain drink before I go to work and have no were to hold the drink and shift. And if I put the drink in the back cup holders it will fall.

Ok, my Integra daily driver isn't probably going to throw a code or break something in the drivetrain, but then again, it's damn hard to break an 18 second quarter mile car.
Just ask some of these kids that put big *** fart pipes, cut their springs, have their cars running so pig rich it blackens their bumper above their big *** fart pipes, the rust spots from misdrilling their three-tiered park bench on their trunk lid, the rusty holes where they pryed off their "Civic" badge from, or the excessive ticking noises their engines make from constantly being revved above 7k rpms when their engines are still cold, or the bad shift hesistations because their slushbox is shot from being manually shifted 10,000 times how reliable their car REALLY is...

1). Piston slap.
2). Cheap leather seats. The leather seats in our family minivan are 10x the quality.
3). Crappy paint (or quality control) - Come see the paint bubbling on my roof if you don't believe me.
But like the others said, I love my car!

5) The odometer changes (goes up) when I drive it
6) I hang out way too much in LS1Tech because I own one.
7) For once I live where it snows and have to drive in it. ( I miss Bradenton!).
8) My wife hates that hump on the passenger side so when we take a long trip we must take her car.
9) I refuse to put anything less than 93 octane in her and gas prices are high!
10) It came with a friggin payment book!

Okay, since we are new LS1 owners... I would just like to add that it is starting to get annoying that every tool out there that thinks they have a fast car (mainly the import crowd?!?) just has to pass and get in front of the SS... Even if we are just cruising at the speed limit...
Dang now my wife and I know what it is like to drive the "yardstick" that all other cars try to measure up too...

all this hate....i'll say what's best about it...which is, you can't beat 300 n/a rwhp in a stock used Fbody that can be had for under $10k right now, like a '98 Z/28.
you can do it with a Fox Mustang, but then it would cost almost the same (if you don't skip on the supporting parts like a stronger transmission, etc) ...it'll be quicker due to lesser weight, but you'll still have an older car, with horrible aerodynamics, drum brakes, no airbag (unless a '93), etc. you can cut corner by buying an old $2000 Mustang, but then you'll be putting nice, new, powerful high performance parts into a POS rustbucket.
now if you go beyond the basic bolt-ons, then the parts are expensive as hell compared to the Fox Mustang market.
