09 ZR1 cleaning house with 400k+ cars

its not only that. its fit and finish, and quality of materials used. you and i both know well, that american interiors are overly plastic and the grade of material, i.e. the leather surfaces used are less than stellar. its not the dash, HVAC configuration people dislike, to some its more than just the look, its the actual feel of it.

Werd. My 911 from 2002 has a suede headliner, legit leather dash and very comfy seats. I think the 997 interior is much better than the 996 though. Fit/finish/quality > looks.

Agreed, but everything that you just mentioned can be unfairly amplified by someone with a predisposition before they even check a car out.

The C6ZO6 has a nice interior and is a monster of a car. I’ll take that over a nicer interior attached to an inferior product any day. And yes, The C6 ZO6 and it’s big brother ZR1 have qualities and engineering features (outside of the interior) that can be compared to any car at any price range.

Why don’t people bitch about the Viper interior…talk about shitty!

All in all though, people gotta have something to bitch about (not you, in general). You can’t knock the ZO6/ZR1 performance numbers, the chassis, the engine etc, so that pretty much leaves the interior.

The ZR1 is a sick car in performance numbers. You won’t find one better for cheaper. The problem is 98% of Americans don’t buy cars JUST for the performance numbers. The inside is where they spend most of their time, so that’s where they like to see the quality.
