Two main things I'd like to see, from the perspective of someone who's seen it up close, but still shopping against the competition.

1. Interior. I've seen it, sat in it. I don't think its the materials, its just... half done. The radio/HVAC controls just don't flow into everything as well as they could, and there's a big ole slab of nothingness on the passenger side. I think GM should integrate some of the Malibu's interior, two tone colors on the dash that you could integrate with the door panels and seats; and some faux brushed aluminum looking trim pieces, help break everything up a little and keep it from looking so desolate.

2. (sorry for the caps) LOOSE SOME WEIGHT!!!!!!!! PUT IT ON A DIET!!!!!! IT IS TOO HEAVY!!!! I don't think they should invest another dime into the powertrain or the suspension. Find some way to cut the weight down to compete with the mustang, and as a side effect it'll have better handling, be faster, and get better fuel economy.

I love this thread, so thanks for the opportunity. I also love my A6 SS/RS, but if I could change anything it would be with the cars software.
1. Fix the PDIM.
2. Allow us to choose what can be displayed on the DIC, any input available.
3. Firm up/quicken the A6 shifts in Sport mode, or allow selection of shift firmness.
4. Add a 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile timer to the DIC.

There have been many other fine suggestions that I agree with, too.
1. Memory for the seat positions.
2. Less weight.
3. Rear camera.
4. Make the cruise control button raised so I can find it without looking.
5. Badging on the front quarter panels.
6. Louder exhaust or at least make it a factory option.
7. Push button start.
8. Darker factory window tint.
9. Factory chrome wheel option.

Well that's enough for now, I'll be back.

Love my 2010 ss, 6 speed, I would love to have the option of a supercharger, looking to the aftermarket for the install, hard to stay with shelby, I would of paid for this upgrade at the factory

utilize the "blind side zone alert technology" for the limited visiblity of the camaro, great enhancement on the suburban, and would be fantastic for the camaro

Rumor or fact on the z28, would love to see the cadillac-v powertrain be part of the z

Sometimes bigger doesn't equate to "producing more". In '69 you could get a 302 ci with 290 hp or a base 327 ci with 210 hp or the optional 350 ci with 255 hp, so sometimes "bigger" doesn't equal more power. There's more to it than cubic inches.

Lighten the car as much as possible, use soft touch material for the dash, and redesign the flimsy centre console lid. Minimal changes if any to the exterior because it's near perfect!

1. I think new vibrant metallic colors such as synergy green are a great idea, especailly for the younger market. it would make the cars broad appeal even broader. i hope synergy becomes available on the ss.

2. make the ss front and rear emblems optional from the factory.

3. longer rally stripes (front and rear)

4. dusk/jay leno wheels available

thanks for listening GM!!

Like it but some easy improvements:

Make the depth of the trunk less and provide the seats in the back for actual use.
Offer other than summer tires when buying the RS

thanks

First off, I would like to thank you all for hearing us all out. It's truly an honor to have us give input to what will lead to future generations of the instant classic you all have brought to life.

With that said, I do agree that the car could lose a little bit of weight. It would improve performance numbers all around.

Another thing that should be changed is perhaps changing the mail slot to the hood and making it a functional hood scoop. It also looks like it kinda interfered with after market part manufacturers. If they offered a hood with a hood scoop, they would then have two hood scoops on their hands.

Final thing is the lighting. I have a '99 Camaro SS and I liked the concept of having the light on the back of the visor.

Other than that... awesome.

2BBL 350 was 250 hp and the 4 BBL 350 was 300 hp in 69, 327 was dropped very early in 69 model year.

3) The option to have leather in 1ss without the purchase of all the gadgets

4) Navigation w/screen, not onstar

Yeah - I think Onstar is getting a little played out considering so many other manufacturers are getting into touch screens and what-not.

I loved my new camaro but i would like to see some improvements in the next upcoming models.

1: bigger sun visors mirrors because the one that has its so tinny.
2: bigger sunroof or targa roof like from the C6 corvettes
3: A factory supercharger option
4: A better quality material for the dashboard, example like when the new nissan Z350 come out it had some cheap plastic material in the interior but they improved the interior material on their next model the Z370.
