The camaro defintely rocks but what would you like to see improved?

For me I hate the blind spots and the cheesy plastic gauges behind the steering wheel.

The "M6 Shifter Box" has got to be changed at the factory!!! Sloppy Sloppy Sloppy!!!

POWERFREAK · 11-22-2009, 08:56 PM

a 3.73 gear option.

brighter interior lights.

razor28124 · 11-22-2009, 09:00 PM

twin turbos on the 3.6 would be a start. and maybe an option for a ram-air hood?

I believe you just offended some people

. I know there is at least 1 person who wanted to trade his non gauges for someone elses 2SS gauges. (and alot of people that laughed at him... not i).

As for the blind spots... I hear your pain, but they are commin out with a convertable in a couple years, bingo! I actually don't really mind it so much any more (2 wks), and I usta drive a light truck. I do also really love the chop-top and how low it feels... which i was suprised I'd like so much. I'd love to put some really dark tint on and just black out all the windows... but now i'm just rambling

So i guess that's what i want... Factory tint, dark!

Sitting in the Camaro is like sitting in a bunker. A very nice bunker, but a bunker all the same. Better visibility I guess.

SS 376 · 11-22-2009, 09:14 PM

Realistic changes?

Brighten up IOM a little so it looks less red.

Add a White Diamond Tricoat paint option.

Make USB standard or at least an option across all models.

Drastically reduce price of optional 21"s.

Offer HIDs separately from RS package.

Offer "Bumblebee" style stripes as an option.

Allow ground effects to be color-matched?

I guess that's kinda what i like about it... it almost has that european sports car sit to it. I remember sitting in a Porche for the first time and thought it was a bit odd. But i'm sure i would get used to it quickly.

The steering could do with a bit more heft. Feels a little light, IMO.

ss1 · 11-22-2009, 10:13 PM

Ok, things my wife misses that isn't on the 2010 Camaro:

Passenger power seat
lighted vanity mirror
driver 1/driver 2 seat and mirror memory by key

What I would like to see:

change cup/tray
cup holders not located on center console that is in the way of the gear shift when occupied with a regular height drink
better bluetooth sync with phone (might just be my phone but no contact list)
better sound insulated door panels so things in the pocket don't rattle when cranking the sound (nothing that dynamat on the inside of the door panels wouldn't fix)
locking gas lid
turn off feature for the skip shift
special spare donut wheel that will fit over the brembos
"interior" trunk handle to close trunk lid without having to get fingerprints all over spoiler, chevy bowtie, etc. when closing.
better sounding exhaust
heritage grill

I still love my car tho.

toetter · 11-22-2009, 10:19 PM

HUD and louder exhaust. I also agree the cup holder gets in the way. That is just being picky, I love the car the way it is though!!!

TJ91 · 11-22-2009, 10:21 PM

pasenger power seat with height adjustment, for god sakes its a piss off when i try to give kids a ride and all they see is DASH!
Oh and dash abl lol ironic

For those talking "better visibility"......... if you lose the pill box style windows, then you lose the awesome styling that is the new Camaro. GM, PLEASE don't go to big mini-van windows !!!!!

A passenger seat that moves like the drivers seat would be the only change that I would make.
