The waterfall like my 2009 Corvette has instead of the tonnueau cover that we have to take on and off.

Navigation

Memory Seats

Fog lights that work with the RS package

Cooled seats

Maybe wider fender flares and tires like the GS package on the Corvette.

Please dont change the basic look of the car....

adamgl · 02-21-2012, 11:00 AM

LS3 in the auto option.

woodj · 02-21-2012, 11:10 AM

Re-designed, functional Tonneau cover.

I'm so happy with the Camaro that I had trouble coming up with with improvements quickly, but as I read through the others it reminded me of something that I really missed when I bought this car. My last 2 cars, a Nissan 370z and a BMW 135i both had cloth tops. They had solid covers that opened up to let the top in and out of the storage area. The one on the 370z was fancier, body colored and formed to look a bit like headrests. The one the 135 was just a flat plastic trap door that opened and closed. Something like that would be great. It looks good, requires no effort to cover the top, and can't blow off at high speeds. It's the only thing I seriously missed when I traded the 135 for the Camaro.

While I'm at it, my wife puts in a big vote for the cooled seats. I want to put the top down when it's hotter than she likes and she loved the cooled seats in the 370z. There weren't a very complex design or very heavy. Not refrigerated, just a lot of tiny holes in the seats and a fan to blow air it through through them.

I'd like to see a factory option Turbo (or Super Charger) and for at least the V6's and CAI and other little things through GMPP that won't void the warranty.

The V6 could definitely benefit from a Turbo to somewhere around 350 to 375 HP. Maybe with a GMPP chip to upgrade either the current HP to somewhere between 350 to 400 HP? All mandatorily dealer installed so as to not void warranty, of course.

This helps keep the price down and will definitely be a great BANG for the buck. See what Saturn / GM did with the Saturn SKY Redline and Pontiac Solsitce GXP out of the box 2.0 Liter 260 HP Turbo with GMPP performance upgrade boosted to 290 HP - which didn't void warranties.

Turn signal light with blind side lane alert mirrows. Better radio. Lower rocker mouldings (like zl1) prevents rock chips.Top that works !

I guess this is slightly off topic, but I'm curious what you mean by a "better radio." Better reception, louder amp, non-glare display? I'm mostly curious because I'm pretty happy with the radio, other than the easily scratched display, but a little more specific request might also be helpful to the folks that are gathering our comments for Chevrolet.

- Radio should be Touch screen.
- More and Color Changing Ambient Lighting. Cup Holders, Door Handles, Footwell, Dash all controlled with brightness and color on the above mentioned touch screen radio. We cOuld sit in our cars for hours Playing with color combinations.
-Memory Seat Locations

78RS_to_112SS · 02-21-2012, 03:31 PM

Most were posted, here is my list:
-auto install tonneau cover
-adjustable lumbar for driver
-push button start
-rear wind deflector
-7"+ Nav screen / radio
-better ambient lighting
-I also like hard top idea

Shooting Star · 02-21-2012, 04:37 PM

radio knobs look like a romper room toy-need to clean that up with a new face along with Chevrolet My Link Touchscreen and please add the navigation. The new UP9 radio has upgradeable software, Pandora, Stitcher, but they have not figured out how to incorporate the navigation into the system. Modern car-modern radio. First thing you turn on-last thing you turn off. Rock 'n roll is here to stay? Loud & Proud!

All of thse suggestions are great should add up to a $75000 car but it would make everybody happy. Right?

That's why the disciples do what they do. Take the enthusiasts' thoughts to the team...weigh in...and the professionals take it from there.

Chris82xx · 02-21-2012, 05:32 PM

I'd like to see auto climate control and even possibly dual climate control.
On my G35 I was able to set the factory installed shift indicator light to whatever RPM I wanted to shift at.
A functional hood.
