What option should GM have added? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I really don't understand why push button start wasn't installed, it seems like such a simple option.

I like windows I can roll down via remote. One of my other cars has it and I find it convenient for letting some of the heat out in the summer before you get in the car.

Memory seats/mirrors, climate control

Donut Spare.

I would venture to guess all you traveling ZL1 owners would like a skinny spare tire donut for the trunk that would fit on any corner of car. The current system leaves you stranded and dependent on a tow truck for a simple sidewall blowout. C'mon GM. Inflator only? Really? If you are low on air only, great! But if you get a flat and run on a sidewall for any distance, your expensive car will be in the hands of a .... tow truck operator and her resources for storage if in non working hours for a dealer. And cost you a hotel room night or two. Amazing!

And, how about an audible warning sound if air loss is significant?

memory seats and tilt down side mirrors.

I am floored no one mentioned the placement of the cup holders. Great for the Auto guys, THE worst spot for the El-Manual guys. I liked my 4th gen with the side console cup holder. Who wants to put a sweaty pop bottle on their suede seats?

TomF1 · 06-16-2013, 09:03 AM

I agree on the need for the tilt down mirrors, my driveway is uphill to the garage, so I can't see a damn thing if I don't tilt down the mirrors. And I have to back in, or I can't get out the drivers door.

I borrowed my old boss's Lexus once that had tilt mirrors, and it wasn't really high end.

Anybody ever heard of an aftermarket module that tilt mirrors?

My turn
his and hers Memory Seats
automatic tilt down Back up mirrors
Push button start
double fold down sun visors
Navigation

All of these options are really good. I definitely want exit/entry seating. My garage is tight and I can't open my door all the way to get out. I push the seat all the way back to get in and out.

The manual cup holders need to move. I found some corvette website that sells a cup holder thing that goes into the passenger footwell and hangs on the carpet underneath the center console. Not a bad idea.

Also the folding front seats are kind of weird. Maybe it's just me but I'm not really a fan of the lever on the back to fold the seat forward and then have to use the power seat to move it up. There should be an button that if its power, it will manually do that for you, or when you pull the lever to fold, it should automatically slide forward.

The cup holders are in the way? You guys bring drinks in them???

RavenZL1 · 06-16-2013, 12:46 PM

Automatic climate control. I've gotten spoiled with setting a temperature and forgetting it.

Sure do! You can't tell me Chic-fila has some of the best sweet tea on earth!

cvp33 · 06-16-2013, 03:34 PM

No particular order:

Carbon Ceramic Brake option
MUCH louder stereo with proper sub
Memory seats with exit function
Lines in the backup camera
Side mirrors tilt in reverse
Heated/Cooled seats
Recaro seats
Better center console for stick drivers
Opening/closing top that you don't have to hold the button.......forever
Keyless entry/start

c4maroboy · 06-16-2013, 06:25 PM

maybe more leather and soft touch materials in the interior, and a better stereo system. other than that, nothing

RobZL1580 · 06-17-2013, 09:33 PM

Adaptive cruise
CD player
Remote start for manual transmission - the engineers can figure this out if they want to
Option for low dusting brakes, for the people who do not care if we lose 6 feet of braking distance. The car would still stop better than 95% of the vehicles on the road today
No fuel cap like the new Charger has. It is built into the fuel door.
An all-season tire as an option for the people who like to drive their car everyday
