well for one not being the hand me down for corvette tech when it gets old..... like that will ever happen. Non vvt would be nice without AFM.....like that will happen..... And a shift kit that kicks it when you put it in "sport" mode....not short mode.... like that will happen. At least the one thing they could do is a auto with the shifter being the shifter not stupid paddles like my first Camaro. Also some actual foot well lighting with a glove box light would be worth the extra $.
Of course a classic lines theme is a must, if they have to go to the later 1st gens for inspiration so be it. Lighter quicker a must, more powerful not very likely with damn CAFE standards waiting to hit harder and harder. The ls3 is a great engine platform, and the LT1 which like all engines it seems have to have old designations because they have no imagination is undoubtedly what they will try to shoe horn in the smaller alpha platform zeta reticuli what ever...
The wide stance and aggressive look we have is great, the last fourth gen is a example of their trying to over do the aero dynamics, just lighten it with a aluminum frame and more aluminum goodies and composites where needed. DRLs that are LED and also Fog lights are a sure hit.
While handling is nice its not a must have and comes anyway with the IRS, nice thick sway bars from the get go would be brain storm with easily upgradable parts through the various progressions of the line. Not like the 2014 Camaro where the hood wont fit a 13, or the etc... That is given, look at the ls and lt owners who did a ss front or zl1 front..thats money in the bank.
Rear interior seating room, head room and rear visabilty are things we have had to deal with but come with the territory and could be improved on. I know they will offer lane change alerts etc and our tech is great but a removable upgradable stereo with the option to easily upgrade to nav would be great. Also decent priced subs that patch in easy and a decent priced amp to upgrade.
We all if we love our Camaros personalize them, My cam gets stares as does my color. Sure more color options are nice, I would have loved a old school purple, with metallic in the paint and pay extra for the options you want...Kind of like a mustang that goes way up when you deck it out with track pack, stereo, little spoiler and scoops etc. Actual functioning brake cooling ducts would be nice, and a provision to actually have a ram air function scoop or engine cooling vents in the hood installed easy. And please make the tail lights pleasing, like round or something old school like other brands may take away from g.m. as so many old school rides had round....chevelles, impalas, etc etc etc And LED maybe even sequential.
Various options are nice even among packages, yet limit us G.M. does....like no regular ss with all season tires and wider zl1 type rims unless you hunt for it aftermarket, not a red interior with this package...ie LE1, no butter with your bread sucks...... Yes eventually they come out with cons to go oh its the Snot wheels, or the Fall package and pay for the extra looks when you may not like all it entails but would buy a lot of a package if you could option it. We love to personalize our Camaros g.m. CAN YOU DIG IT? And yes we will mod it like a rabid ricer with a Honda if we can with ten inch exhaust tips and giant wings to fly to the moon and the loud fart sound......just kidding, Camaro owners have taste usually even if we do not have the corvette budget, or are inclined to plant our AZZ in fiber glazz, some of us actually like back seat occasionally. But as far as I am concerned they could even make a two seater Camaro if it lightened the load as we know ford will ditch the coyote and such just to try to make G.m. look weak because what do they have? just a mustang.... And they are a big fan base, would it not be nice to kick them to the curb bad for once? Along with the fiat fat boys with their SRT cash cow mentality...they are going to have to lighten their load too..I am sure a ABFART challenger 300 srt16 is in the works somewhere in spaghetti land but will be ditched for more modern look like a oops I think I am gonna be sick..DART............ oh so sporty like a neon on steroids..
I remember growing up with mom in a corvair, yes it was reliable until finally sold after being passed down. Many call it Naders foible and g.m. could make a corsa again as a handling package small car that would kick butt. G.m. COuld do so many things as in : the classic lines of the 55-56 chevy pickups they have not retro done..god would they look georgeous done modern, a nomad type panel van to kick the smagnum to the curb... A CCCCCHHHHEEEEVVVVEEEELLLLEEEE yes a word they cannot remember they can only make little malibus that are in absolutely no way ever a muscle car. Heck we beefed up anything that was good looking enough and retro fittable such as the vega, the nova rip offs the omega, ventura, Apollo..... the Monza even..... And the other brands you had could be reborn! , think about a trial at g.m. lots of a new Pontiac firebird retro's, olds 442's, hell even a Saturn or three which was making a profit.....if your outta bankruptcy open your eyes and give us what we want and we will beat down your doors. That's what we need from g.m......... Faith restored for billions who loved them over the years, just like a poor man in CUBA who drives a 55 chevy and cannot dream of anything else, and loves it night and day, and will rebuild it until the end of time, maybe even have to retro fit it to a hydrogen engine...... I could see doing that with my Camaro.. its that pretty.
