426HP = under 4 second 0-60?

1969 (COPO 9560) 427/430bhp: 0-60 in 5.3 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.16 sec @ 110 mph That would be a ZL1 Camaro...Therefore I need to rework my thinking on what's a speed capable car as per your definition?

Several sanctioned racing series get above 60 MPH to settle the winners from losers. Draw what conclusions from that you choose.

Did you not see the END SARCASM thing at the end of my post?

Hello..I was being deliberately obtuse to make a point that people's expectations can be ridiculous.

Here's a quick question: how was the interior in terms of room? Over at ChallengerTalk ( http://www.challengertalk.com/forums...37/index6.html ) they are saying how terribly cramped it is and how their heads were touching the roof. I know to take what they say with a grain of salt (as almost no one has said ANYTHING positive) but I was curious as to less biased thoughts.

For all people who were wondering why theres no orange panels heres my theory...


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.

Yep what you said, Ellie pulled a quote of what i said which was the same thing in the page before, but atleast you have the pics to back it up, but it also doesnt have the Boston Acoustics sound
Its funny, this is the second car that we know to date that is set up the same exact way. The IOM SS/RS from CIAS is exactly the same thing with white stripes. Its just odd that there are two like this when we have only seen 2 or 3 IOM camaros, none of which have a complete IOM interior. Im just hoping i spot one soon, and im hoping its a 2LT.

Ive sat in the Challenger, and honestly, its massive. Me and my brother were comenting on how it was like a bus. We liked it. Now we both sat in the SS at CIAS and the CHallenger does not compare. It has a cockpit feel just like in the vette. You have to adjust the seats to make sure you fit well but believe me, you will fit well and you will love it. My brother ate his words after sitting in the Camaro (Mustang owner)
I think its that the Chally guys are now used to sitting is such a spacious car. When you sit in the Camaro, the car feels like its caressing you and the view and everythiong just fits right and you get a feeling like your in a sophisticated(if thats how you spell that) chopped car. How tall are you. Ive heard even extremely Tall people have fit in the car. Im sure Ellie can reasure you on this.

Ok Zedder - who is this person driving? (I'm assuming it's the same car you posted about).

No, I admit that I did not note that element of your post.

A bit tired on this end, but not the least weary.

My only response is an apology, a virtual offer of a friendly handshake, one fan to another.
