I'd love to have the backup sensor technology in the Camaro. It'd be nice it could be added on later on when it becomes available.

I too would like some kind of backup sensor or camera. I once backed into a short steel piller. It was one of four that had been placed around a light pole to keep from being hit. I could see the pole, but the steel piller was just about bumper height and I couldn't see it out the back window in a car with better visibility then the Camaro. My brother had backup sensors added to his honda after he bought it, so that may be an option for the Camaro.

There are aftermarket sensors that can be added. I had an SUV that we were thinking about having them added to. I forget the exact price, but I was pleasantly surprised with how cheap it was. Something like $250 for 4 sensors I think.

One thing cool about the rear view camera in the Mustang: when you go from reverse to a forward gear the camera stays on for a few seconds. You can watch your own burnout!

Chevyrocker · 03-25-2009, 01:45 PM

Yea, it's cool in the Traverse and the Tahoe and such, but not in the Camaro. It's called turning your head people...

Here's my opinion on this....... I don't need a damn camera to help me park. That's what mirrors are for. If you cannot parallel park without use of a camera, you should not have a license imo.

Camera are easy to install.
I have both front and Rear view on my AV.
Nice to see what you are about to run over.

That's funny. Yeah, maybe they figured we don't need one since we will always be out front!!

It's also nice if you enjoy hearing your girlfriend/wife complain about your driving. But now instead of just hearing, "Be careful for the car in front of you", you'll also hear, "You're too close to the car behind you!!!"

DET MUSL · 03-25-2009, 02:33 PM

Another thought if you need to back up, just floor it and do a 180

Yes, that's just ALL I need right there. Like I'm not going to hear something else all the time too...like "Slow the **** down"! Yes, she will wear that phrase smooth the F out!

Think it would be a good idea due to the fact that the Camaro does have some what poor visability. I have it on my 2009 Chevy Traverse and its amazing. Once again though it is an SUV and the camaro is a sports car.

That wasn't exactly my point when mentioning parallel parking. My point isn't that you use it as a crutch while parallel parking, but rather to make sure that you're giving the person behind you enough space.

Let's face it, the Camaro's a big small car. It's easy to accidentally tap the car behind you while parallel parking if you're not careful. I haven't done it because I don't have to parallel park often, but my brother has and he parallel parks all the time.
