Question for ya fred. You mentioned the room in the back seat, how about it in the front seat? Im 6'8" so im not short, and if i can't fit in the camaro im not going to buy it. Im sure Heather can answer this much better since she has spent a lot of time in the car but what do you guys think, is there a lot of front seat room?

mitchell87 · 12-26-2008, 04:11 PM

I don't think you'll have any problem with leg room. Of course all of us there were in the 6 foot even range!

I disagree, I have had both fwd and rwd vehicles for winter.. including LS1 and LT1 powered vehicles. 2 snow tires on the rear are only going to get you moving. What happens when you want to corner or stop? Sure you can get by with good all seasons, but if your gonna put snows on why not do it the proper way? Those two snows on the rear aren't going to do you any good when it comes to handling or hard braking. The purpose of snow tires is really only about 25% meant for traction from a standstill and the other 75% is for what is important when driving in the snow, and that it handling and braking.

And even good front tires do not compare with snow tires.. snow tires are meant just for that, snow. Mixing tires with less grip with ones that have mor grip could cause you to go into a skid, or have more problems with control. They don't sell them in sets of 4 just because they wanna make money, they do it because it's the safe way to do it. I have driven my vehicles with great rated all seasons, but after the snow tires are on, the vehicle is an entirely different vehicle.

Bottom line, you can GET BY with 2 winter tires but seriously if you are too cheap to spend another $200-300 for two more tires to decrease the chance of an accident in your $30k+ car, then I don't know what to say...

Thanks fred! I almost wish I went down there but that video is awesome. My family thinks I'm an idiot for getting all gitty over this thing but I can't help myself. Sounds amazing!!! I hope there's another one that comes through town before my final order goes through... still deciding between the 1SS and 2SS.

Thanks fred & Heather. The nose on the car looks mean as Hell!! anyone agree?

fixxer56 · 12-26-2008, 07:30 PM

Thanks Fred, that's awsome sounding!

SSmoke · 12-26-2008, 07:54 PM

But I figured you might let me slide for lookin like the first time poster if I offered up some pics and videos!

Yep that was me in the drivers seat in Fred's video... Here's another video of the SS rumble...it was sweet. I have over 100 pics that my buddy and I took so if anyone is looking for anything in particular PM me and let me know and I'll see if I can find it.

The best part was that after awhile everyone pretty much just walked away and we were there to pick through the car and see whatever we wanted. I was impressed with the interior- not cheap and feels very solid. That was my biggest concern seeing as how I've seen the car a few times now but was never able to get in it. We looked it over inside and out and didn't find one thing we weren't pleased with. It only took like an hour to calm down after we left lol...

Here's another vid of me starting the car....
