As for being passionate, yes, I am ... especially if I'm spending $70k. Damn, that is one SHIT interior for a $70k car. And you know what? Work on those headlights while you're at it. “CTS”, be honest, it’s a SHIT interior for a $70k car and it wouldn’t have cost significantly more to design a better one.

Impulsive i give you credit for being passinate about what you like. how about if gm does a nicer interior, and charge an additional $480,000for it. :) GM just to be fair make a luxury vette that has the xlr-v interior, so you sacrifice a few tenths, so what.

If you are in the market for a modern sports car, you would expect it to do many things and not just lapping around being the fastest in racetracks. You obviously will not use all that 500hp on public roads without paying the consequences. So I still think GM should fix the subpar interior trade off versus ultimate speed equation. More comfort and perceived quality will certainly do wonders for the Corvette. Convert more people coming from the Euro crowd to the Corvette.

It will not be an inexpensive car and the V-6 model won't be that great if you want a "muscle" car. My question is, when will GM build us an inexpensive, lightweight rear wheel drive coupe/sedan with a four cylinder and a manual transmission for $18k-$24k? Cheap and lightweight is what the original muscle car formula was all about once you swap a bigger, better engine into it. This is what GM really needs to focus on for the youth market if it wants any buyers under the age of 40 who can afford a GM performance offering... that is actually a performance platform.

And to take alliance with one like deantj who is probably also you on this board judging from the similarly infantile bilge you splurge is really just a step below functional human life. I offered a good natured truce as both sides got out of hand. But of course someone approaching 'genius' would have picked up on that. Someone with average intelligence and any kind of social skills would also have seized on the opportunity to start fresh and possibly actually become friendly in our differences of opinion. Personally, the whole concept of this board to me is entertainment, I too find it entertaining, possibly the most entertaining aspect is you going back and researching your posts. What a tremendous waste of time. You need to get a hobby dude. In terms of the profane, feel free to continue exposing youself as feeble minded, uneducated and lacking in sophistication. Having been a professional athlete and spending countless hours in dugouts/bullpens/clubhouses all across this country I am not shocked by anything the dark corners of your mind can produce. And to belabor the point, teammates and opponents who trended to this form of communication were indeed, weak minded, uneducated and totally unsophisticated. One last point If deantj is in fact a different poster from impulsive, well, I dont think inmates should be allowed access to the internet. And to even feign the wish of death on someone due to a difference of opinion on an automotive board is a new low. Truly you should be ashamed, but I doubt you have enough personal pride to feel shame in the first place. I just really feel sorry for you.

Civility was never your intention or inclination. Your continued foul language and worse socialization skills are proof of that. You have proven yourself to be little more than a belligerent, ass-headed, man-child. Worse your are just a brat, period. What ever high regard you hold for yourself pales tremendously to the low regard the rest of us have for you due to your own lack of respect for others. This was demonstrated by your extreme attitude toward the adoration others have for something you consider not to your liking. Your lack of ability to accept the opinions of others as their own and not attempt to impose your flimsy will on others has damaged your standing in this community. We are free to disagree with each other but you nor anyone has any call to pick a fight because of a disagreement. If your desire was to get noticed, you have been and I doubt anyone will much more to do with you except to make your little monkey-ass jump for their own amusement at your expense. What was a fight turned into a poke-fest as you snapped at everyone who got over it and you didn't. You are a fool and a sucker. You will get no sympathy from me. I just feel for the Admin who has to sort through this crud periodically. Whatever, Impulsive.

Within the same minute I respond to "gitcypher" stating (and deservedly taking my civil responses to a lower, more appropriate level considering my audience and critic) the interior is shit for me and essentially I have a right to voice my opinion on what I believe is a subpar interior. I then follow up with a remark responding to his/her mom comment with one of my own. February 13, 3:52pm ... CTS DRIVER stated I don't get it, implying that a sports car should not expect to have a good interior (in essence, agreeing that it is subpar but acceptable for a niche vehicle ... which is NOT good enough FOR ME in any vehicle). At this point, none of my posts added nor removed anything that had previously been stated as MY view of an unacceptable interior. The immature, childish, schoolyard tactics of the monkeys started and continued discussing issues which had nothing to do with my view which was, and still remains, that it's a SHIT interior for a $70k car. The next 3 (three) days were filled with nothing but used toilet paper by these same monkeys who digressed and resorted to pathetic, primary school fighting to argue something which cannot be argued ... it's a SHIT interior for a $70k car.

Connecting rods made out of titanium lighten the reciprocating mass of the engine while being stronger than the steel rods they replace. The primary structural element of the C6 Z06 is hydro-formed aluminum instead of steel as on the non-Z06 cars. The front fenders are made of carbon fiber to reduce weight, while wider rear fenders allow for the wider tires. The C6 Corvette Z06 is the first 500+ hp production car to avoid the US government Gas Guzzler tax. So what is your arguement now....the interior is cheap for 50K car?!?!?! But I guess instead of titanium connecting rods they should have given it a better interior so "enthusiasts" like you would not complain....but then again a true enthusiast would not complain about a carbon fiber, dry sumps, titaniumn connecting rods and an aluminum chassis.

I have a BMW 6 series with a very nice interior. My friend has a 2006 C6. The interior of that car may not be as nice as mine, but it's quite acceptable. It's fine actually. The 'cutback' on luxury is more than made up by the supercar performance. I think the Corvette team did a great job in trading one aspect of the driving experience for another. If they had a luxury interior option, then I think you can win over many of the 'Vette's critics. In reality, I'm not in my car for the majority of my day. And when I am, I'm rarely at the performance edge of my sluggish 6 series. And perhaps rarely do I appreciate the fact that I have a fine interior. In fact, I think we're all kind of stupid to pant over fancy cars when for over 90% of the time we drive and appreciate our fancy cars as much as we do a cheap Toyota --that is we don't notice our cars at all, but just need to get from point A to B while sitting in traffic.

But people here have to accept that it is not perfect. If the interior looks bad, a good redesign can always fix it. It makes us wonder why GM didn't hit the sweet spot at first try. After all, this is GM's flagship sports car and it deserves a new better interior. Because if GM didn't let you know from what car is the interior of the current Vette is, you most probably mistake it for a hohum family seday interior. Past Corvettes have a unique signature interior design. Sadly, I can't see it in its current form. Can't have the upcoming Camaro better the Corvette.

When the volume (number produced) is going to be high you can spend more to develop it but when it is not going to be you have to decide where you will spend the money. It is not a question of DESIGN....how about learning something about the design, developing and building of products before you cock off and question someone who works in the field everyday. It's not material either, it's process....the Germans and Japanese add an extra process to make some their moldings that involves over molding of a more desirable textured material, normally with very thin foam backing to give it spongy soft feel over the plastic (the same thermo set plastic the Germans and Japanese use) or they paint the parts or cover them in fabric....they also are better at hiding the mold part lines but GM has gotten a lot better at that too. If your views are only held by yourself and you got them from nowhere else I would recommend learning a little bit about what you are talking about because you honestly don't have clue!

When the volume (number produced) is going to be high you can spend more to develop it but when it is not going to be you have to decide where you will spend the money. It is not a question of DESIGN….how about learning something about the design, developing and building of products before you cock off and question someone who works in the field everyday. It’s not material either, it’s process….the Germans and Japanese add an extra process to make some their moldings that involves over molding of a more desirable textured material, normally with very thin foam backing to give it spongy soft feel over the plastic (the same thermo set plastic the Germans and Japanese use) or they paint the parts or cover them in fabric….they also are better at hiding the mold part lines but GM has gotten a lot better at that too.

It might have gotten away before being spotted because it is fast. 200 mph. Piablo says “Who feels the Vette was actually the lone gunman on the grassy knoll in Dealy Plaza?” what if it was?

Why is this still being discussed? If you think it's acceptable, good for you. And if you have the money and desire, buy the car as is. I don't work for GM's design department nor do I get paid a penny for my input here, so why would I offer you my detailed solution? You going to make a donation for my time to draw up an appropriate design with material specs? Get real. Move on. Really, why would you care what exactly I would have done?
