In all-around performance, it does.

I have yet to run into an MS3, but I have no problems with SRT4s on an auto-x course. Have yet to lose to one, including stage 2 ACR package ones. There is far more to performance to what a car can do in a straight line, and I'm REALLY glad GM had the insight to see that.

Heated seats are standard for 2007 SS/SC but of course you cant get Recaro's.

GM Performance Package including: Stage 2, GM Intake, GM Performance Exhaust and some Kind of GM Suspension packake(A lower stance). That would seem resonable being as they already make all that stuff with the acception of the springs(as far as I know).

Oh yea, and some kind of arm rest in the middle of the SC's. My Right Arm is Getting Friggin Tired! I got nowhere to put it.

Somewhat of a good idea. Like the ACR handling package for the Neons. Only thing is I don't want a lower stance. My front fascia looks like **** as it is, the area where I live is NOT lowered-car friendly. Stiffer springs, bigger rear sway bar, strut bar up front, and as much adjustability as possible would have been great.

I know how you feel. There's more pothole than road around here. But yea, I would love some sort of GM suspension options. If I could take the back of mine down about 3/4 of a inch, it would look right. The back just seems a little too high(when compairing to the front) for me, fortunately it's not enough to bother me. I doubt I'll even lower mine at all.

At 30K it better have a V8, or at the very least a V6.
erm a turbo 4 cylinder that can keep up with those v8's sounds pretty nice.

Uh, not quite. I have an '07 and have no heated seats. Pretty sure they're an option.

ehh...half the stuff listed would make the car no fun to mod....your not leaving anything left to mod...lol
i would want a complete overhaul on the interior so it feels less like a plastic GM car...always GMs biggest loss
motor and tranny mounts would be nice though along with a stronger axle, and definitely redo the gear ratios for the manual

the rest should be left for modding

I wish a SS/SC came with a IQ test so if you failed you couldn't get it!

My requests are simple. DC Sports strut bar...stock. The headlight without the amber circle, but instead the clear one like on the 07's...for 05 and 06. Slam that bitch to the ground...period. I look like a 4WD truck next to this kids Prelude at my work. Don't make the runk hole any bigger...just make it into a lift back where the glass comes up with the trunk lid (think Acura Integra). White on the s/c...period. Even more factory preformance options...GM finally learned about factory performance items, now continue. All s/c's get Recaros...yeah boyeeee. And some better quality interior parts...those got ripped apart by every magazine out there.

Are you sure? Mine don't. The bulbs are still amber, but there is not an amber lens covering the bulb, take a look at some '05-'06 cobalts, you'll see the difference. Ours (the '07s) are a lot more subtle.

Until you put a turbo on the V8.
