The way the door shuts, the pedal arrangement, power and heated seats, killer sound system, no squeaks and rattles, great driveability, modern headlights, factory reliability, and the list goes on.. In all honesty, these are many of the things my car lacked. Instead of spending $500 on tail light housings, how about a better pedal set up? Instead of $5,000 on an aluminum block, how about an engaging interior. You catch my drift and I think your ideals are similar.

You speak of what I call "Balance". I 100% agree that those types of things make the driving experience. Personally I don't need the heated/power seats, but agree on the function, fit and dependability of things. My goal is to make it all flow smoothly. I want to be impressed with the car from the moment I walk up to it, to the moment I walk away from it. I'm sure there will be a few changes here and there. One simply can't know everything they like or dislike without trying them. Right now I have Jeffs 68 in my garage while he builds his shop. I've had the car out a few times and it's the perfect way for me to really experience what works and doesn't work for me.
