how did it go? did you finsih yet?

 

I have a fake SS Panel truck, so I'm sure that my opinion does not count here. When I bought my '07 Panel LT, the 2.4 Ecotec was the best engine option, so that's what I bought. The "SS" option was not available, until five months or so later. I opted for the five speed (and love it) and the armrests are there. I don't like them down when I am doing a lot of shifting. They are in the way for me. However, when I am on the highway in fifth, I love them! FWIW

 

If the General decides to make the "SS" option available on the Panel truck, that will be my next car (off topic)

 

Wow! That's quite a tradeoff You must really like armrests.

 

Tradeoff???

 

forgoing the manual trans to get armrests... with an auto you lose all kinds of control over turbo spooling, which takes a lot of the fun out of a lightweight turbo zip car

 

Still waiting for the last trim piece but I have a projected ship date of 5/20/08. So......be patient, I'll put this thing together as soon as I get it and post detailed photos.

 

Not to mention the 2-4 mpg intown penalty for the auto, my stick has been getting 22-24, and I know you can't do that with the auto.

 

ok, thanks. everytime i start missing my arm rest i keep thinking, man i hope retrorod doesnt forget us.lol

 

This WILL GET DONE.........not to worry.

What I have so far.
