I still respectfully disagree guys, I don't really see much of a difference between a new pickup truck interior and the interior of the new vettes. Seems like they vetterized the interior of an avalanche or something. You bring up the price tag... there's NO doubt the Z06 and any vette for that matter is amazing bang for the buck. While it is a matter of materials as well, its more so a matter of interior design and look. There's painted plastic everywhere! I think they could do a MUCH better job with the same budget if they simply took a more european approach to it. Don't get me started on the seats either... If it weren't for these things, I'd be strolling around in a Vette for sure.
As for the LSx swap...not a bad idea. I know theres a few LSx Z33's out there that perform beautifully. Great motor, very light weight too. I wouldn't be surprised if a newer LSx motor would be lighter than our V6. Wouldn't have to go FI, less moving parts, more torque, fitting it shouldnt be much of a problem and you can pick one up for not that much... May not be that bad of an Idea...
