ROCKET WAGON got mine back from the dealer new carpet looks new. After driving the LS for a few days I'm impressed with the suspension the way it is maybe I won't put the pedders on it.

Yeah yeah Sam, you just want to sell it for massive profit to the poor soul that's looking for one on here!

HEAD ROOM! I'm 6'4" and even with the seat all the way down I have to **** my head to the side...and I have a shaved head, so it's not my kewl gel coated spikes brushing the roof. I have to sit with my butt like 2 inches forward in the seat to be comfy. I still bought it though...the rest of it is that awesome.

I only wish they'd put the limited slip in the auto's. I would have got a stick but it's her car and she doesn't do manuals.

Well, I dont hate....but I wish the car:
Gave you more for the money and I am not talking about power.
Better, techy,options would have been great for the ridiculous price you pay for this car. Look at a new Kia Soul Sport and see what standard features you get for the money. The Soul is a hot seller right now and gets excellent reviews. I am getting 2012 Soul next year.....6 speed auto, 38MPG,Bluetooth, USB port that actually works, projector headlamps,sunroof to name a few....all standard. AWD coming too.
Back to topic:
The interior is by far the cheapest plastic look of any gm car I ever owned.
AWD would have been a nice option.
Stage 1 could have been better thought out.
Dual exhaust would have been nice too.
GM marketed this car poorly and it could have been so much better.
For performance, this car is great and a load of fun.......but.....you really dont get much else with this car as far as any techy options or a great interior for the price. There are better buys out there. I will miss the power but I wont miss having to run premium and the over all cheapness.

Stuff I dislike:

- rattles in the headliner / dash
- cheap sway bar linkages (both replaced before 90K)
- replacing my shifter cables now as they are seizing (again, less thank 90K)
- cheap rubber on suspension that squeeks during the winter even above freezing
- all four doors were rusting inside bottom less than 1 year old
- wheel finish is GM cheap

One thing I wish it had - telescopic steering wheel

Other than the above, I love the beasty, especially with Stage 1 installed.

Yeah, I'm 6'4" and you can't have a sunroof at this height. And you have to duck a bit at traffic lights to see them, but I knew that when I bought the car.

What I hate are all the people asking me where I got the front end for my SS. Then I have to explain the thing is stock GM and a real SS. Yes GM did make these and yes it is a Turbo.

I find it funny how so many think I did a custom thing with my SS and they have no clue it is all GM.
