01 TA vs 04 nissian Z and 06 bmw 550i My mods are k&n intake, 3.73's, and bassani cat back.
Well I'm on my way home and my bro pulls up next to me in his 550i and we happen to hit a light
We both nodded our heads and as soon as it turned green we both took off, I got him 2-3 up to about 110mph. I thought it would be alot closer considering those make 360hp. His car is bone stock too.
I also raced my friends nissian that he got about 2 months ago, he has just an intake, and we did two one for a dig and one from a 15mph roll, beat him for a dig by about 2-3 and I didn't even launch and for a roll about 3-4. He was really cool about it. The thing I like about his Z tho is the interior quality is leagues better our cars, but he's gonna mod it and come back for some more later

I would say f-body interiors are just really basic. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with them other than that. They work fine for a $25,000 car. I do agree though that if the Z has a better interior, it is marginally better based on what I have seen. It's not like the difference between our cars and a Mercedes or something. Either way, good kills!

Damn that a BAD *** 3rd gen! I just finished restoring my dads, but it bone stock(well flowmaster muffler, and a generic cold air intake) slow as ****, its got the 5.0 TPI but at least it looks good! To me third gens are one of the best looking f-bodies when fixed up right!

I have pampered the damn thing since I bought it brand new, but I guess this is what happens with 10 years and almost 100,000 miles. Oh well. I still think it looks cool and sounds cool. Still too damn slow though.

I don't think thats the fault of your center console. I've never seen nor heard of one "melting" before, especially not on a car thats garaged. Our center consoles are made from pretty decent plastic. Sounds like you have some nasty chemical based air freshener that melted the plastic.
