Fuel Range "miles" changes to "Low Fuel" warning with less than 30 miles remaining. Isn't this when you need the detailed "miles" calculation the most?

Has anyone mentioned the doors unlocking? I think they are because it makes me get out of my camaro. Sometimes when i go somewhere I find reasons to just sit in it longer and admire the interior, or maybe I'm just crazy.

Probably been mentioned but I don't want to double check

Skip shift in the LS3

I could see maybe (MAYBE) going from 1st to 3rd but 1st to 4th (and locking out 2nd all together) just bogs the car horribly. Skip Shift Eliminator, here I come!

The sun visors are a distant second for me.

This method gets the mileage to where there is no gas guzzler tax. As you have noticed, it was also engineered to be easy to defeat. Could be worse, they could have turned it into a 4 banger at highway speed like the L99

I am interested in what u meant by "engineered to be easy to defeat". Do u mean a tune?

Most useless feature? Hmm... I do not know if this is truly a feature, but I am pissed GM didn't paint the shark fin to match our cars. Anyone else feel the same way?!

no, you can get a skip shift eliminator for really cheap, and i believe takes 15 minutes to install.

Tha AFM is useless to me. When I drive my car, gas mileage is the last thing I care about.

The back seat.

Cause
#1 Its a sports car.
#2 If it ain't big enough to BLEEP in, its wasted space.

Well, being a mom with two small kids...if it didn't have a back seat...I wouldn't have been able to buy it!! So REALLY glad the back seat is there
