It's not faster stock for stock than a 03 Cobra

 

the cat hump sucks, the gas mileage sucks and i HATE the salad shooters. that is about all.

 

Hah. No cupholders at all on the '87.

 

That's a bit of a problem too. It's not as bad as my Mustang was, but I'd still like to see the next Camaro have at least an 18 gallon tank like the GTO will have.

 

lol a few more, the cup holder, err cell-phone holder is somewhat useless. and also the v6 plastic wheels God i hate those.
squeek wise, mine is generally fine but my bros 2000 sSS's rear suspension squeaks a lot.

 

I just figured out why my left side power window seems so slow. I nearly always lower the windows simulateously - just before removing the T-tops - and the left one takes forever. If I just lower the left side by itself, it works quickly enough.

What we're seeing is some sort of voltage drop when both window motors are deployed simultaneously. Problem? Nah, just a "charming" excentricity.

 

Ok... I drove the 95 today and have a few more....

it only has one cupholder...

and, that annoying rattle in the dash that won't go away!

 

Mine's fairly rattle free... I think.

Can't hear any rattles over an open exhaust.

Let's see.... what else...

Oh yeah...

Mine's black. I won't buy black again - WAY too much work.


Ummmm....
I like the flip-out cupholder. With an M6 the center console one is worthless. Holds a 55 gallon drum of Pepsi, I mean a Big Gulp, just fine.


Ummmm....
Piston slap and oil consumption are two annoying, but not horrific, problems. Cat hump sucks - I've thought serously about pounding it out.


Ummm....
The Hurst shifter BLOWS. So do the clutch hydraulics. I experienced great joy when ripping both out.

I can forgive the 10-bolt, but I can't forgive the fact that it was not an 8.5" 10-bolt.

That's about it.

 

Without reading other posts (I'm sure these are common)...

Lowlights from my '93 Formula ownership experience:
-optispark
-excessively long plastic nose
-engine half-hidden
-huge dash
-hatch rattle
-bulbs always going out
-cheap center console
-wheel design
-stock 235 tires
-poor gearing and 115mph speedo

oh yeah:
-huge doors

Just so it's not all bad news, I did like:
-LT1 power
-6-way adjustable seat
-smooth, though long shifts
-exhaust note

 

I didn't have nearly as many complaints until I got a CTS, but just the same stuff as everybody else. The ride, compared to a modern chassis, is horrific. Oh and also the hump...CTS has TRUE DUALS that run down the driveshaft tunnel like C5, w/ LS1 style pup cats. F5 MUST follow suit and rid the car of that passenger side exhuast routing. Other than that, I really feel that a modern platformed F5 will address most if not all of the mentioned complaints. I simply cannot describe how great feeling this new car is. I can assure all of you that all of your concerns about ride, rattles, and stiffness will be addressed w/ a modern chassis. My main concern is that GM doesn't go cheap on the interior plastics and the leather.

 

I felt the same way after the puchase of the new Monte SS!

This is why I stand by my statement that there is nothign wrong with the current F-Body Formula. It just needs to be brought forward two decades in support, quality, design and engineering.
