What option should GM have added?

For me, my biggest gripe is the visibility when parking. I think mirrors that tilt down when you put the car in reverse would make me feel a whole lot more comfortable that I'm not about to destroy these expensive wheels. I have convex mirrors, but they don't seem to do much....especially at night.

boost gauge on hud
Recaro seats

thats about it

I wish it had automatic climate control. My daily driver has it, and it is just nice to set a temp and not have to keep adjusting the dials.

Please give us in the future:
A stereo system that sounds half way decent
Warning system of some kind for the front to prevent damage when pulling up to a curb
Push button start, I'm spoiled by my wife's Jeep Cherokee
Air conditioned seats, again in the Cherokee
Memory settings for two drivers, Cherokee has this also

Can you see a theme here from my wife's car! She loves our new ZL1 but makes comments about theses issues all the time. What will be my next mod?

I'd like to add:

A memory1 and memory2 function that remembers PTM setting, seat position, and mirror position. That way I can have a push button for around town driving and fun driving.


Switchable Hill Start Assist.

Personally I wish it didn't have DRLs. I find myself turning them off.

I actually miss the CD player.

The C6 Vette had a convenient lane change feature built into the turn signal. Tap the signal lever and it automatically blinks three times and shuts off.

the blinker does blink 3 times if you just tap it

Less brake dust equals reduced stopping power and distance. Be careful what you wish for!

Haven't noticed it on mine - hmmmmm

Checked the owner's manual, and it does mention it.

edit: went and checked mine - it does have the feature, but only if I press within a "sweet spot". The Corvette's is much more user-friendly and doesn't require only pressing a certain distance.

Keyless push button start and door opening. My cadillac has spoiled me in this department.
Recaro seats would have been nice on the 2012-13
Memory seats if we had to have the current seats
All color matched lights, halo, drl, fogs, hid
Thermostat climate control. I feel like I constantly turn the ac up and down.
Better sounding stereo... I have the factory subwoofer which helps a ton, but should have sounded at least that good to begin with.
More configs in the HUD.... Gear selections, shift lights, 0-60 times or 1/4 mile timer
Factory cold air just so the factory rating would be over 600 hp. Or just flat out more power, like say, 670 (you know why)

Overall I am thrilled with this car. Only making these gripes because I was asked. Plus I hope GM considers these suggestions for the next gen.

Keyless, memory seats.

...seeing the new HUD display, I wonder if it can be fitted to a 2012 ZL1. If it's a PNP option, or something the dealership can connect, I am all for that.

1. LS9!
2. AC Seats!
3. Push Button Start!
