Whatever you have to do to beat a stock 5.0 with a stock camaro is something you should think about

At the very least, bump up the horsepower on the SS's to make it more competitive with the mustangs.
Do away with the auto fuel management. Not much MPG gain for the loss of HP compared to the SS's with the std tranny.

fix the octane table so that we don't have to do the 5-20 fuse pull.

Easy:

Black interior with red inserts. Not the whole seat like IOM, just an insert. Maybe some red stitching.
Body painted Roof Ditch Molding standard.

Not so easy:

Lighted doorsills.
Push button start and keyless like vette.
Different gauge cluster. I'm the only one that hates the square bezels.
Move the cupholders.
HP bumpity bump.

I have no gripe about the sunvisors. I own sunglasses.
Is the Ambient lighting on the Dash yet? I'm not sure. If it isn't, it would be cool if it was.

It's nice to hear the Disciples are still being called for improvements!

Thanks for listening to our hopes and prayers.

In addition I want to add.
Leather covering for the parking brake lever, that long piece of plastic really brings the interior down.
Pass thru for the trunk.

And the car had got to have climate control.

This for damn sure.... I have never understood why this wasn't corrected over time. It's a PIA for most.

I also do not like the key. the position is such that if you have 2 keys on a chain it hangs right on your leg. (small thing but seems easy to fix)

I know it is a hot rod but alot of older guys drive this car. the body style is awesome so I don't want it changed but you should be able to get 2 golf bags in the trunk opening with out taking clubs out of the bag.

Not that it matters, I love the car.

Thank you very much!
Front parking sensors is a great idea..

On a separate not, I don't understand why so many people want all these factory performance upgrades for the V6?? Ive seen people asking for a turbo upgrade for the V6's as well as alot of other expensive performance upgrades from the factory. If you want performance so much why wouldnt you just buy the SS instead of spending alot of cash to make a V6 faster. Im not bashing anyone just confused why you wouldnt just buy a V8 when your so concerned about performance and willing to shell out cash for performance upgrades.. Why not just buy the V8 in the first place? Isnt that is the whole purpose of the V6? Dosen't make much sense IMO..

Since the backseat is useless, can you get a keg in there with a tap up front somewhere?

Please please use a smaller strap of leather to retain the seat belt. It's ridiculous to have to fish that damn buckle through the hole all the time.

Nav and radio goodies.

Onstar is fine and works. But...true in dash nav is awesome WITH...AND...get new radio features. I won't say who to look at, but the last two vehicles I got into had PHENOMENAL radios (Jeep, Stang).

What is pretty much the one thing that all people use in their cars when driving? The radio..... Talk to text, voice activated stuff, nav, hard drive to store songs so we don't have to connect the blue tooth every time.

OH!

You know what? I doubt anyone has ever said this.

The dashes speedo/tach location...

Let me explain.

When I drive, I drop the steering wheel a tad and pull it all the way out. When I do that, I can't see my blinkers and part of the speedo/tach. Hey, it's not a complaint and I get by with it fine. But, I wish I could still keep the steering wheel right there and actually see everything on the dash.


Heated/COOLED front seats. If I can remind GM that it's getting hotter outside...and there's a MASSIVE # of people (Camaro owners) in Texas who'd LOVE to have this cooled seat option. I'd take it...

And as usual, thanks for listening to our thoughts. .

light in glovebox

visors are fine
