Random F body survey

[LS1 TA]

Of the three F-bodies I have had, there has been one tiny thing or another about them that just for whatever reason irritated me. I was wondering if you guys had the same thing going on with your F-bodies. Right now my little light that lights up my controls on my driver side door goes on and off at night. It is something small but it eventually started to irritate me.

I can think of more than a few things, but here are just a few...

'98 Camaro V6: Front Speaker Grill rattle

'96 Z28: Paint on the side moldings fading

'99 Z28: Slack in the clutch pedal, Cheap stock speakers that keep blowing

crappy power windows

The door is designed too far back to give access to the rear seats but this makes it hard to get in and out of the car when there is a car parked beside you and you can't open the door all the way.

Oh, you hit the nail on the head

'98 Camaro V6: Front Speaker Grill rattle

That's mine for my 97 as well.

The door thing for sure.

But the thing that annoys the hell out of me is cleaning these rims:

(not my car obviously)

But also up there is smacking the Air Dam off of the pavement.

And the worst thing about an F-Body...is hearing
"My Stang will beat you" .... but after the race you'll experience the best thing about an F-Body tho!

*The fact that you can't get the optispark wet in the LT-1 versions.
*The factory fuel gauge isn't linear.
*Cat converter hump in the passenger floor.
*Water pours into the rear hatch area if you open the hatch when it's wet.
*Stock speakers bite.
*headlight motor gears bite.
*Spark plug and wire access bite.

All of the above is a minor negative point when the rest of the car performs so well.

I had forgotten about this one.

I'll second it as well.

*Traction control on Ice*

I am used to driving a trcuk on ice that didn't have it so you could let them spin to build up speed. Trac automaticly kicks you down and limits it. But this problem is easily remedied by pushing a switch

*Cold Starts*

Going out to start the car in the morning and having to wiggle the connections on the terminals to get a good connection. Only when its cold though.

'88 Formula - the crappy Van Nuys paint clear coat started flaking off after 2 years

'87 Camaro - the crappy paint job the original owner did, over the good Norwood paint, after his little fender bender. (I just can't win with paint jobs)

'96 Camaro v6 - toasted spark plug wires, and whats up with the red anti-freeze turning to jell-o?

**Water pours into the rear hatch area if you open the hatch when it's wet.

OMG!!! Everytime after it rains and I open the trunk, the water just pours everywhere down the sail panels. Annoying!
My pet peeves about it is:
Definitely the door-3 days ago a lady parked so close, I had to crawl in the passenger seat over the console to get in
What's up with the visor and the material (the little stretchy "map holder" thing) that hangs down so low, I have to tuck it into the mirror??
T/A taillights-I've been through about 2 sets already because they get moisture and the black starts "peeling" away. Totally ugly when they do this

I cut mine off with a razor blade.
