I used to work in the Family Classics Building , http://www.familyclassiccars.com/

and one time they had a very nice 2nd gen Camaro. One of the lot porters asked me if I could have anything on the showroom floor, what would I take? Told him " The Ford GT" You wouldnt want the Camaro? " Heck, I got one of those !!"

Like I've said before--The second gen Camaro is the best ever. Someday I'll tell you all about all the Second Gen "F" bodies I've had.:drink:

Then you haven't been in one. They suck for tall/big men. Chick car IMHO. Crampy like a 57 Bird.

I've been in them. Plenty of room for a 6' 1" guy like me. Remember, there's tall and there's bigbird tall.

Been in a 57, 56 and 55 T-bird. I couldn't believe how big the seat was---I was 12 years old.:rolleyes:

I tried to move a customer's '67 427 tri power Covette out of my dads shop once and I had to open the door so I could put my foot on the clutch. With the door closed my leg would hit the steering wheel and door.

Yep, in the 38 years I have had my C2 it gets harder to get into and out of. On our last run my right knee kept hitting the T-handle on the shifter. I don't remember it doing that before.:rolleyes:

That's what I love about Vettes and Vipers and RX7s over Mustangs. I feel like I'm in a cockpit, not like I'm in a cruiser with a big motor. The Chargers are the worst. It's a 60s Cadillac with a cheap interior and a big engine.

I don't know what mustangs you are riding in but I have my seat all the way back and my upper body is leaning in the back seat just so my head in not pressed against the roof. In my dad's Mach I have to open the door to apply the e-brake.

Newer Mustangs have gotten much better, true. But it still doesn't feel like a cockpit.

[enkeivette]

My reason for asking, my friends mom was looking for a new vert. She ended up with a Saab. Very nice car, like a Mercedes on this inside, pretty damn quick too. V6T felt like a FWD car though.

That's the exact way i would describe the interior of chargers/300's and challengers.

[Vettezuki]

I've thought about it. I rather like the new(ish) BMW Z4 hardtop convertible.

Those cars remind me of a retarded combination of an XKR, a 7 series, and a Miata. :barf:

Me too. I like the Z3 better. I want to see an LSX in a Z3.

It's impossible to have an original idea nowadays. YouTube- 1996 BMW Z3 (LS1 Swap) Dyno

Yup, if it has 4 wheels and a diff in the back you can be sure someone's put a SBC in it.

I've seen that. What a waste of a Vette motor.

Tfor driving pleasure I would rock the brand new boxer spyder or a lightly seasoned Solstice. The new boxer is pretty bad ass though.

Yeah, the new Boxster with the PDK is pretty damn impressive.
