fanboy fail....that's a new one.
Ford is notorious for gimmicky features to draw buyers attention away from the real important stuff. Not that the "other stuff" is lacking....but it's the equivalent of putting a glass "diamond" in a solid-gold ring.
This is a COOL feature!! But be honest - where's the practicality? How will this help make the car faster, better when staged next to say...a ZL1? It won't. To that end, I agree completely with Motorhead -- and to take it a step further...I don't think Chevy needs to "answer it"...they've invested in things like HUD with G-meters, shift lights, and nearly as many chassis control gizmo's as a Ferarri.
Different solutions to the same problem, imvho. No sense in getting bent out of shape over it.
EDIT: That said...anything Ford can do, Chevy can do better. I'm sure if it makes sense to invest in...they will. But not "because they have it". They are their own company...building their own car.
