I am still disappointed that GM didn’t build this car.

They decided to build this ugly thing instead....

the rear needs a little work, but the front is perfect, and I love that interior, and look at the bolsters on the seat!

That ugly thing sold more units in one year than the Coupe 60 would have sold in a 10-year life cycle.

True, but I’d rather drive a Coupe 60 than the mullet mobile. Burger King sells more beef than Ruth Chris, but I’d rather go to Ruth Chris.

Would you be willing to pay Ruths Chris prices for a car with a Burger King platform?

HEY!!! Where do you get off stealing my post?

But yes, the Coupe 60 would have been amazing. I love that interior. And those wheels are just icing on the cake with a center lug (hnnggg)

I figured I’d share with the rest of oppo the fun discussion we were having. lol

As long as we all know I called dibs. But seriously, I need to figure out how to get seats like that in my GTO and be just as comfortable as the GTO seat

need more cars with factory side exit exhaust!

Sadly, this is all i could think of off the top of my head. What else has side exhaust? excluding side pipes (cobra, c2 vette). i prefer not to burn the flesh off my calf when getting out of a car.

Proper Vipers have side exit

Though I will be putting my exhaust out the side like that

I thought of it. lol The VF seats are nice, and are heated and cooled, but not as comfy.

Do it! Those side skirts are getting hard to find.

Heated seats are neat, but with leather I can only imagine that cooled seats would be amazing.

They are both made from a cow though.

The cool seats are amazing, but not as comfy as GTOs.....

CaptDale - is secretly British > AfromanGTO 09/15/2016 at 16:47

Hmmmm, make GTO seat cooled and heated?

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 09/15/2016 at 16:50

1

There’s a few people who have swapped in aftermarket seats that are heated and cooled. I’ll have to search for those threads.

I think I will need to make Coupe 60 skirts, cause square tail pipe

But I want to change the factory seats. I like how the factory made this car and want to only upgrade the tech in it while keeping the style the same.

damn! how did forget Viper? Especially after watching my buddy almost set his rocker panels on fire on his 2014 GTS!

Do it! It would look good if you used the replica sap side skirts.

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 09/15/2016 at 17:32

I’m pretty sure a high end upholstery shop could do it. I know they make generic kits for cooling and heating.

I could also do it. not too hard to pull back fabric and add

hmmmm, I bet it would.

You mean kangaroo leather not black fabric. The leather will have to perforated to allow airflow.

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 09/15/2016 at 17:44

The problem with the side exhaust is the tips are the same spot as a jacking point.

Yes the Spare tire lift spot, which I will honestly never use. Should be out of the way of the 4 post lift. And most of the time here at work I use the drive up lift cause my car is too low for most of the 4 posts since only 2 stalls have the low boy 4 posts.

CaptDale - is secretly British > AfromanGTO 09/15/2016 at 17:55

Well they could perforate, I meant I could install the rest. Hmm I wonder if this would work. Would look cool in the GTO any way

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 09/15/2016 at 17:56

Lucky! I don’t have access to a lift anymore....

AfromanGTO > CaptDale - is secretly British 09/15/2016 at 17:58

The holes don’t have to be that large. Just maybe toothpick sized like the SS.

CaptDale - is secretly British > AfromanGTO 09/15/2016 at 18:00

1

No, I know. I just meant that design would look cool in the GTO. Instead of or with standard perforation.

Yeah, one of the few perks of working at a GM dealer.

I agree! I’m sick of Australia’s sports cars being sedans and utes. Holden had a great opportunity to keep the coupe alive and they ended it.

I’d would have settled for a Ute over a coupe if they brought it here.

Fair enough, coming from a country with plenty of coupes and no utes. We’re the opposite in that way I guess.
