How are you supposed to monitor things with the gauges there?

Same way you did back in '69:

Did the interior get uglier?

I don't mind the outside.

BigAls87Z28 03-16-2009 07:38 PM

Reading the comparision, the SS does NOT get the gas guzzler tax, but the 425hp Challenger SRT8 does, putting it 11k over the price of a 1SS car.

Interior is good, I just want to see the quality of the parts.
I want one...real bad.

Frosty 03-16-2009 08:08 PM

I still think the interior is fugly.

i am really liking the car overall. two things that bother me are the chrome around the taillights and how the stereo area looks like a sony xplode head unit/original nintendo controller. other then that, i like!

my gauges are hanging from underneath the dash in the same spot and i can monitor things just fine. engine coolant temp, oil pressure and battery are in the pod, so they are things that need to be monitored from time to time. i would love to move them to the console, and that is the plan when i finally get my hands on some cash.

speaking of which, that is the only thing holding me back from ordering one. i know exactly what i want, so that is no problem, and the car will be dead sexy inside and out. i am going to go full bore, all available options, so expect the price tag to reflect that, as well. it's kind of a "hell, it's been ten years that i've been dealing with this pain, so i deserve a brand new toy" type deal. now, if the court case decides to take another year, so be it. i might be able to find one used, just coming off of a one year lease, if i get lucky. but it has to be exactly what i am looking for - i will not compromise just to save a couple of thousand dollars. i figure it will be worth it to spend the extra to get the car exactly as i want it.

sorry to be so long winded, but i wanted to state my position as exactly as i could. if the court case were to end tomorrow, i would be at the chevy dealer (or Newman Chevy on the internet) to order my car. as it stands now, the next court date is in May, so i won't be getting one of the first cars.

So are those the production headlights? :lol:

I like the looks of the car, the interior I don't really care about either way because I don't need fancy hi-tech stuff. Can you get it with radio delete to reduce the cost? I would trade the radio stuff for a factory installed trailer hitch! :nod:

i went on and built a 1ss, with everything i want for 35.8k +TTL

1972LT1 03-19-2009 11:41 PM

Can you get them without Traction control or Stabilitrac?

BigAls87Z28 03-20-2009 12:10 AM

Nope, all standard, but can be defeated 100%.
SS had 3 or 4 modes of Stabilitrac.
100% on
Competition
Balls Out
Snow
