Although by reading this it seems as if there is a little animosity between the participants who disagree. If all parties involved were sitting around a table with a pitcher of beer, having this same discussion, it would be great few hours.....
by the way..... with the flaws the car may have I'm surely not trading it in on a new FIAT 500 Abarth, just because it may have a cool interior! LOVE The Z! (and yes I put a Caravaggio seat in it!
)

But they are still TEN TIMES BETTER than the seats in the C5Z, so at least GM is going in the right direction!

LOL... You can always count on one guy to push it way too far... Come on now, the design itself is great, and I would think most people would agree that things are where it should be. Materials however are a different story... I personally feel the 3LZ goes a long way, but yeah it's no Caravaggio...
So, what's wrong with the gauges? Surely you jest with a Civic having better ones?... I gotta say I did prefer the background on the C5 Z06's gauges (that checkerboard pattern looked awesome with the black light!), but again I think they're quite nice.
...And it's funny you had to bring up the 1999 TransAm. A coworker just traded in his 1996 for a 1999, and let me tell you _that_ interior is poop. Made my 3LZ interior feel like a Ferrari LOL.

The whole interior design to me quite frankly looks like straight up ****. Man I feel sorry for the Viper owners, anyways my friends 2008 Honda Civic has a WAY better design. Even the gauges are 10x better. WTF? Seriously though. And since were speaking about cheap stuff let's leave it at that. Don't want to hear performance this or performance that.
Z06 compared to other NEW vehicle interior designs =
I mean for the love of god, my friends 1999 trans am looks better.

But if I had $5000 sitting, I'd be mighty tempted in some Caravaggio seats! I could use the extra lateral support (and the nice leather smell too

I guess you missed the point ... I was only commenting on the interior .. not doubt the "Z06" is a great car ... but the sub-"KIA" interior needs some serious attention ....
there is nothing here to hide ... been there ... own one ... smelled the glue ... you name it .... facts r facts.

The Z06 is a great ride for the money (for any money, for that matter). But the interior is a huge let down. It isn't even so much the design but the materials. The rubber dash and door panels are nasty. Over time they start to get a whitish haze build up on them, and they are terrible to the touch (like rubbing your fingers on a cheap basketball). If they just covered every frickin' square inch of the interior with a quality leather, most of my objections to the interior would be answered.
Any way, I finally couldn't take looking and touching the interior so I had to sell the car. The performance just couldn't overcome the terminal nastiness of the interior. But that's just me.

Even the Malibu has a better interior than the vette!
