Nice ride, mine has the same leather interior too.
Yeah I think mine may be lowered, sits as low as my '93 Z28 did and it was lowered 2". Might just be the tires though,265/35-18 in the front and 285/35-18 in the back, real low profile. I haven't looked to see what was stock on this car yet, my Z had 245/50-16s all around from the factory.

I think your right,your does look lower. The stock tires are 275/40/17. Does anyone know what size the rims are on these cars?

stock on ss cars i think were 17in, the z28 an bace cars 16inch ,on yours i think it would have been a 255 40 17 or a 245 45 17 ,so yours has bigger tires then stock ,nice car ,looks like the stock wheels .all ss cars i believe also have leather seats ,other cars like my 3800,leather was an option,interesting to me was a bace 3800 covertable loaded for 2001, was $23.000 an a base model z28 with standard options was $22.500 retail go figure $500.00 less.so the zs8 would have been my choise ,an though rag tops cost more new ,there resale value is not near as good seems for 4th gens,that 275 tire would make your car about 0.64 of an inch taller ,i plan to put those in back an keep the 255 in front

So I guess my wheels are aftermarket, the SLP sticker on the door shows the SLP Premium 10 spoke chrome wheels option but mine are 18" front and rear. They look just like the factory wheels and caps but with 265/35-18 front and 285/35-18 rear tires. I found a little curb rash on the right front and would like to replace it, hope I can find out what make and if they are still available.

The leather interior was optional, there are lots of SS cars out there with cloth interior. The stock tires are 275/40/17 from every source I found, looks like I have aftermarket wheels since they're 18".
