no, its supposed to come with the orange interior. i wonder why this one didnt have the orange accent panels though.

 

It looks to me like there aren't any interior trim panels installed. Don't the base cars even have the metallic looking door panels? I wonder if the orange seats were ready but they didn't have enough trim panels or something and since it's a pilot car they just left 'em off for now.

 

i was snooping around on camaro 5 and found this picture from the same car



Now if im not mistaken the 2 SS is fully mech adjustable seats.

My theory is that they intended this to be a 1 SS then just decided to stick on a gauge pack and the orange leather...

More to back it up... Look at the armrest on the door for both of these pictures... on the first (the 1SS) there is no orange stitching but then on the 2nd picture (2SS) at Barrett Jackson there is orange stitching... Then the reason is on the first pic (1SS) sides of the center armrest are more grainy and low quality plastic while on the B.J. camaro (2SS) it is more of a high quality and smooth and shiny enough to reflect my flash finish to it.

i hope that is enough to prove it is a 1SS!

 

I remember that was the same thing we said in late 1997 when the LS1 made it's way into the F-body. Everyone said it didn't feel fast especially down low where the torque peak of the LT1 was. We all thought that our LT1's with "only 20hp" less would run close. But the beauty of the alloy LS1 was it's smooth power delivery and as they say the rest is history.

Sure there is an extra 400-500 lbs of car to haul but the LS3 is plenty powerful enough to make up for it. I think time will judge this car well in terms of it's drag prowness.

 

Wow I've been hating on this car because of the interior, but that 2ss looks awesome with the colored leather... I guess I should wait till I actually sit in one to make my decision

 

That head rest is bleh, IMO hehe.

 

i sat in one today and it is indeed comfortable (way better then the mustang!) but the interior is still a let down. IMO the design is horrible and the plastics used are not the best.


out of all 3 (camaro, mustang, challenger) the challenger wins hands down. too bad they are too big and heavy. nevermind you need to step up to SRT-8 specs. camaros will make a good used buy when the price drops to match the low end interior.

 

Yeah, it looks like it has 1SS door panels and dash inserts.
I wonder what gives.

That's the way I would actually want mine (light gray interior w/light gray fabric door & dash inserts). I don't like the shiny, hard plastic inserts.

 

If that is a SS IMO its just too bland for a SS car.

I am no fan of non functioning hood scoops, useless badging and wings but that car looks really bland and generally boring. I love the design of the new Camaro but cant they spice it up a bit for the SS?

 

If the car has a VIN with 210 at the end it is a sellable car.
Will probably be used by an executive to drive around for 3-6months or so, but that car will be on a dealer's lot for sale within 6-9months.

The all new 2003 Cadillac CTS came out January 2, 2002. I have personally seen CTSs on the dealers lots as executive cars built in November 2001.

 

What is bland for it? There are alot of difference between this car you are seeing and a V6 car...

 

God, you guys remeber all the good times..... My most memorable camaro moment was when I picked "muscle car" magazine and on the front page it said. "GM to kill the Camaro"

I almost cryied

 

I can't state with any certainty exactly what the SS Camaro will do on the test track but the following articles are vehicles that in my opinion serve as good examples of where I believe we should expect the SS to perform.

Lexus IS-F

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

2010 Jaguar XKR

 

I forgot to ask but did you have a chance to engage the Launch Control feature on your test drive? And the weight is supposed to be 3860 lbs, roughly 40-50 lbs. heavier than the comparison cars I listed in my post above, with considerably more torque as well though (and yes, the Aston is 200 lbs lighter, but in the same ballpark in my opinion).

 

Nope. Exterior is front bumper, emblems, and mailslot. Interior is gauges and SS on seats. I agree with the blandness. They both look too similar. (V6 has the better front bumper also)
