Even though the Z interior was covered with leather, it just felt too plain and almost like it was nothing but plastic.

The one I drove…you could tell it was an older one by how noisy the interior was. That alone would keep me from buying that particular one. The interior of my Camaro doesn’t make anywhere near as much noise.

Bottom line is that I’m going to hold onto what I have and likely do a small N/A power boost via heads/cam package eventually. As I mentioned previously…my car didn’t “feel” any slower than the 14 year old Z06 with the butt dyno. The head/cam package isn’t so much for power…but that chop chop.

I always wondered why the C5 04 Commemorative ZO6 didn't have the shale interior like the others....I love that mine did not have a black dash
