I was debating buying a TA and a donor GTO, and putting at least the seats from the Goat inro the 'bird. Not really sure if they will fit or not. Probably not. However, about the cup holder, I'd use the one for the passenger.

I was referring to the hump on the passenger floor up front, not the driveshaft hump.

Now a hard choice (which may be solved by availability, and price). I have to decide whether I like the Z28 or the T/A better. I figure I'll save my self a little a month by forgoing the WS6 or SS. I'm going to mod it anyway. THe first things I'm going to do is get DR's, a B&M shifter, and drag bags(are these available on the f-bodies?). The one weird thing I noticed was the tach is a little delayed(which I've heard once before).

Any opinions on Z28 vs. T/A. I will be doing plenty of research myself, but would like to hear from people who have owned/driven both before. Thanks.

Ummm..guys. I was talking about the interior of a TA vs a Z28. Where the hell did me comparing the TAs interior to a GTO come from?

The thread author was comparing the F-body and GTO interior, and you stated in the very next thread that you liked the T/A interior better.

The Classic said:
"Well, today I got to drive an '02 WS6 M6. All I can say is that was an amazing car. I've owned an '04 GTO A4 before, but this T/A put it to shame(performance wise). The interior is no match, but the fact that this is at least 300 lbs. lighter than the GTO makes it so much better."

Redline LS1 then said in the very next post:
"I personally think the interior is a bit nicer on the TA. As for looks, thats a personal opinion. If you really aren't too picky about which one to get, get the nicest/cleanest one out of the bunch. JMO

-Your move

Whats the major difference between a TA and a Camaro? The overall body style and the interior. Almost everything else is identical. We all know the GTOs interior is nicer. I was responding to his question. Again, I'll quote his question.

Any opinions on Z28 vs. T/A. I will be doing plenty of research myself, but would like to hear from people who have owned/driven both before. Thanks.
Your move.

No biggie - just easy to misunderstand what you wrote.

I can understand where my post would be misleading but since the question was geared towards a z28 and a TA I didn't think I had to specify.

You're right. Its no biggie. Its like arguing over a penny you found in the street.

Man.........I'm gone for a couple hours, and a fight breaks out. Oh, well. I'm definately learning a lot from this forum. Lots of good information. Good news. I've called the dealership, and told them to start looking for an '01/'02 Z28 or TA M6, anything but white(no offense, that just doesn't do it for me). So hopefully the search won't take too long. I'm very impatient.

The Formula is sweet. I can't debate that. However, I like the more aggressive styling of the T/A or the WS6.

have you guys noticed the cup holder at the bottom of the passenger side door?
