Then said, Or we could find other areas to save the weight. And still make this car which would you pick?
Does it have to save weight by only pulling out the stereo or AC? Is there disappointment in it not having crank up windows?
You kill the carbon ceramics or even better make it an option. You can still put some killer suspension on it, or a better brake system. Just not one that is about a 10K cost to this car.
Now we have an all around winner.
Its an opinion man.

Well I raised your manual windows up on previous threads and in comparison, it'd probably be ideal to keep it electric. Manual is a little heavier probably. But do you honestly think GMs going to go backwards with technology? Manual transmissions are on their way out the door. Paddle shifting will replace it.
As for as losing items and adding items to make this car. GM wanted this to be a competitive track car. The brakes HAD to be installed on something that weighs this much in order to compete and perhaps beat some of those super cars.
If GM built a 5th gen and stripped it to bare bones with the minimum they could get away with and added an LS7 and charged $45k with an upgraded suspension, they could call it the 2014 camaro fairy and I'd still buy it. I don't road race or track at ALL. Though its nice the car handles roads awesome. Here in Louisiana, the roads would trash the car. I just want GM to build an low 11 second camaro WITH an LS7 naturally aspirated at $45-50k. I bet MANY would be sold.
It's a VERY unfortunate thing they can't add options for us such as engine, suspension and deletes.
