In newer cars these days, batteries are being situated near the fire wall, under the hood. If you're in an accident severe enough to damage a battery sitting next to the firewall, you're probably dead already.

No, the Camaro is a high performance car and batteries are heavy. Moving them to the trunk helps with weight distribution which ultimately leads to better handling.

Mandated by government regulations.
This isn't unique to Camaro at all. All new cars with trunks have this.

Except for the convertibles. Seat back on those does not fold forward.

Not sure about the new C7, but every Corvette since 1984 has had the battery in the engine compartment near the firewall.

the smallest visor and mirror and probably the cheesiest visor material ever made. I think duct tape or mole skin would've been better

If you want useless visors, try an old British roadster.

1. My old Mercedes had the battery in the trunk, and my MG had two 6 volt batteries in series, under a panel behind each seat.
2. Had many cars with the parking brake on the passenger side of the console.
3. I drive a lot of rental cars; many cars with a trunk button here as well.
4. My old Benz again, and many Chryslers have this.
5. I drive a lot of rental cars; most modern cars have this as well
6. This is a bit more unusual.

Things I hate:
1) Cup holders are useless...except as a phone holder
2) Hump on the 2010 that you have to lift your feet like 10 ft in the air to get out the car
3) Interior dimmers don't stay on long enough.
4) No foot well or glove compartment lights
5) 2010 has a RPM and speedo gauge needle that is soo thick it literally takes up 5 mph
6) Blowing the horn is a serious effort

LOL, but I still love this car!!

Horn? I always rev at people that need to be honked at. Scares the sh!t out of them.

thought it is a spare battery

You know guys I thought about it later on. I had meant to come back and correct it. You are all right. In my defense though it was like that from 1963-1982... That's a long damn time. lol

The wiper blades are different lengths and the side view mirrors are different widths.

That is funny. I guess the smallest driver and passenger windows come to mind as well.

How about the NPP exhaust? Are there any other cars that have valves that can open and close to control the exhaust volume?

I recently discovered that both my 2003 and 2004 Silverado work trucks do this. I don't know if my 2002 Sierra did it, I never tried.
