Ordered car w/o PDR & Sunroof

Ist off did I make a mistake, what does the data recorder actually do? I had one in my 18 Grandsport and never used it. But I like the idea of doing 0-60 and 1/4 miles.
2nd, I ordered no moonroof because as I understood the moon roof takes away head space? Every car I have had including trucks had one and I never opened it.
Did I make mistake?

Nope. No mistake. I had PDR in several Corvettes and Camaros. Never used it once. And to each their own, but I think the sunroof ruins the lines of the car.

Buy your self a Dragy for 0-60, and quater mile times.
Im sure it will be much more acurate too.

I tried the PDR a year or so ago, but not since. It has limited value.

Sunroof/PDR, love em both, use em both often. SS didn't have either, loved it too. So long as you love your car, you're all set regardless.

Now the big question is, WhAt'S tHe BeSt OiL FiLtEr!/!?!?

PDR is kind of cool, but there are plenty of aftermarket products that are cheaper and better quality. I wish my car didn’t come with a sunroof, but I wasn’t going to pass up the car at MSRP over it. It doesn’t take as much headspace away as I thought, but it does some. I’m 5’11” and I needed to recline my seat in my 19 ZLE with helmet on and no sunroof still.

I ordered PDR in my SS 1LE and never used so I opted out when I ordered my ZLE. Like mentioned above, I also felt the sunroof takes away the look slightly. I don't know it it was even a option in the ZLE.

David, PDR is an unavailable option now from GM and only you can answer the question about a sunroof. My 2017 has PDR ordered by the first owner and I never have used it and of course no sunroof option. I like the look of the reverse Mohawk roof and I wouldn’t ever open a sunroof even it was on my ZL1 but that’s just me.
