This is very neat. I was looking through craigslist and saw a 2011 camaro with hud for sale, i couldn't believe my eyes, so naturally i did a web search and confirmed that it was indeed a factory option. My 2008 corvette has hud and I'm very happy with it. Pictures of the actual hud display tend to make it look very small, you have to remember that when you're sitting in the car you're much closer to the display so it's very large and easy to read. Anyway, my hud is very handy, it displays all kinds of information, you can scroll through various fields to display just the data you want, you can tilt it to get just the right viewing angle, it adjusts the brightness automatically, and you can completely turn it off if you don't want to look at it.
for those who think it's distracting, like anything else you get used to it after awhile, but it's nice having that information right in front of you. right now, my hud only shows my speedometer, lol i don't really need to know how many g's i'm pulling and i don't need tach readings, oil pressure, etc, but i could see how that information might be useful if you were running on the track. it also flashes the radio station when you change stations, or it tells you what music track you're on when playing mp3s.
the hud might seem like a silly gimmick at first, but once you live with it for awhile it's quite handy
i can see how you might be able to retrofit this option into earlier versions of the camaro, as this has been a popular mod for the corvette c6 for some time. corvettes which have hud from the factory have a specific windshield for reflective properties, but people say that retrofitted huds work perfectly well without the special windshield.
it is nice to see this useful option offered on the camaro.
