Try having a black Trans Am. lol. Make sure you keep your t-top shades in, too. That makes a tremendous difference.

Oh. I bet the tan interior is nice. Since mine is a '98, I have the charcoal interior, not ebony.

Yea, I also like the contrast it gives against the black. Anything making the heat a little less bad is a definite plus to me!

Besides the comfort of the interior, my engine doesn't like this heat. You can't go skating on the cold roads either lol.

If your like me it has become part of your routine everyday year around regardless of the temp.

I replaced my leathers for some ebony cloth and it has helped moderate the temperature a little bit. My back and arms no longer peel off the seat when I get out of the car in the summer which is the main thing.
