I'm curious... why don't people like the sunroof? Does it reduce headroom?

Being a quality GM product, it has a history of:

a) Severe rattles
b) Not sealing properly (air can be heard)
c) Leaking

well it adds to the price and does spoil the performance a tiny bit due to more flex and added weight.

Black is the best color you never have to drive! I detail cars as a second job.....People are amazed why the noses, mirrors, and tops of the roofs that are stained with bugs. I have seen total nightmares!

Hell Yeah man good find my buddy just totaled his ss/sc and test drove the car you just bought he ended up with a red with black and red interior. Such a small world....

Ha thats funny. That dealership had a bunch of the 08-09 SS's for sale compared to down where I am in Naples, which has zero. I think i'm like the only one in Naples with an 08-09 SS.

Not to mention the best way to reduce weight on your car...get your lazy ass to the gym and run some laps! Hahaha...people always seem to forget that the driver is probably the biggest weight difference when considering weight vs performance...
