It feels like we're getting so close!!!

I really hope that a supplier discount will be available right from the beginning. I need to save every single penny. If not right from the beginning, possibly within 6 months?

Hard top convertible please !!!
Produce the car as close to concept as possible

[Camaro Lives On]

the only comment i have is conserning the headlights...

1) Use Headlights simular to those used on the Bumblebee movie cars. Sure the halos are cool, but to me they wouldnt be the best for everyday use. The lights from Bumblebee look better, and can really be used properly.

2) If not that, then do something simular to what Cadillac did with the new CTS. I notice on the lower model CTS's that the headlights are simpler, and the upper model cars have those cool looking concept-like headlights. I'm thinking, maybe put the Bumblebee headlights one the lower level Camaros, and the halos on the top dogs!

That all Ive got, thanks to all that are making the dream car a reality!!! As my name says, the Camaro lives on, and it always will!!!

Seat memory would be nice.

Some kind of active/passive security feature like fuel shut-off, disable the ignition, shock sensors, or electronic hood lock.

PLEASE if you're going to do it, make the honks optional when locking or unlocking the car.

That is all

4 cyl turbo! please. I'm poor and can't afford a V8. :(

Thank you,
Sweep

One thing for sure, ...rest assured, ...the voices of these boards DO get brought to their attention. Sure, we (the 15 folks) have our varied backgrounds with regard to the Camaro (I'm a 1st gen fan), ...but moreso we do understand that we are there to represent you...
Needless to say, ...I feel very blessed (extremely lucky) to be a part of this group, ...and I can honestly say, ...GM REALLY wants to know what the enthusiast think.
It's NOT too late to voice your concern/opinion. In some cases it's true, ...there may not be much change in certain areas, ...but there are others that they are indeed wanting feedback. We can't guarantee what the final outcome will be with what we convey to them, ...but rest assured, ..we will guarantee the thoughts and opinions voiced WILL be presented...

Thanks,
Kevin

....I can say this much, ...I am more impressed with the car the more I hear about what they have in the works

Thanks, Kevin.

You and Garfin will have to get back to us once the meet is over. I know specifics can't be revealed. But, if there's certain things we can get winks at (ie..radio specifics, BT, type of speakers, or better yet, LOCACTIION OF GAS CAP!!!... ), we'd love to hear any "news."

Thanks again, you two. I swear...I wish I could have been going up there with ya'll!!!

...........uh...yeah, Scott? I know it was only 15. But , I've been on the boards here daily since like July 06...I think that qualifies me for bringing some good information from the masses if you really need that 16th person!! (or in case someone can't make it)

I'd like to see a special super high perfomance option, similar to the COPO versions of yesteryear - something that could be Super Car class

[2010_5thgen]

if there is anything that i really want out of this car, that is alot of options. some sort of suspension option like the vette has(z51), 6.2 v8, and if the 6.2 s/c version is going to be coming out do NOT delay it. bring it out with the start of the production(we cant wait any more). navigation would be nice,different colors leathers,different style of wheels available(size,colors). i think thats all i can ask for.

[Splicerguy]

First off, thank you to all the deciples and the Camaro team!

I don't mind paying extra for things I want...

-possible extra cost option-match stripe and wheel colors(ex. gunmetal stripes and wheels)

-have the aftermarket accessories available to order fom the factory--i think allowing customers to roll accessories into their loan is a good idea

[RickAz28]

With the addition of a B-Pillar, instead of T-Tops, how about a sun roof?
I would like to see an upgradable interior. Cloth, leather, two tone leather
A HUGE list of options (bundled or singular)
COLORS,COLORS,COLORS
Performance accessories-factory and dealer installed.
FUNCTIONAL air inlets for brakes and hood (the original proto was functional)
Information regarding third party sellers-Berger, Yenko, etc.

The list posted is super!

Best
Ricky

1. Halo headlights like the earlier concept car. The 3 small lights do not look good.

2. The controls for the radio look really cheap and akward. The rest of the interior looks great.

3. I would PREFER a staggard wheel tire combo. I could care less about rotating...this is a sports car for goodness sake! Buy a cobalt to get your grocerries!

4. Don't waste your time with AWD. I want to be able to smoke the rear tires. If someone wants an AWD sports car, go get something from the Germans.

5. Keep the stripes as a decal or at least make it an option. I'm not sold on any stripes you've put on that thing yet.

6. Either have a hood scoop with an actual vent in it, or don't have one at all.

7. Something needs to be done with the side gills in front of the rear wheels. Maybe accent it with a black molding kinda like the 69's. As it sits they look cheap.

8. Now for the engine choices. For myself, I want to be able to choose between 2 V8 options, kinda like Chrysler did with the R/T and the SRT8. Give me something in the mid-300 HP range, and then tempt my butt with a 425+HP option. I really don't care how you do it, just make sure it's a V8, and I need to have the option to compete with the HP of the Challenger SRT.

9. Finally, kudos to GM for the rear end styling. I know people are complaining about the back up lights, and the new crease below the license plate. But I personally think you did a great job with the rear end styling. LOVE IT!

[TheNewDamage]

As far as I know GM has never been able to make a T-Top that doesnt leak and nothing screams 'trailer park' like a T-Top on a performance car.

A much better idea is a targa top (single removable rectangular roof panel) like Corvettes have. Yes it not as structurally sound as a T-Top but is stronger than a convertible.

My apologies if this has already been suggested as i did not wade thru every page of this thread.

[CaptianSam]

that sums it up very good... how bout a scoop delete option if its non functional... SEAT COOLERS ARE A MUST.... saves air conditioning and gas milage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seat coolers....
try and open the rear slits...
seat coolers...
wheel options...
suspension setup types FE1,FE2,FE3...etc
a odd numbered sound system with an integrated subwoofer 7 or 9 example speaker sound system
hard top convertible?

SEAT COOLERS IS A MUST...
INPUT JACK IS A MUSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[CHVY4LF]

Im sure most of these have been said but. . .

Same size wheel and tire for rotation
Concept style wheel
NO EXTERIOR ANTENNA!
keep the opening in the front
loud, open exhaust
shifter like the concept
the color accent like the concept had would look nice
use the seat belts from the concept, the old GM style belt clips look f*cking sweet
painted racing stripes as an option
low but agressive deck lid spoiler like the first gens, no wing
options, not packages
old school colors (HUGGER ORANGE)
3.73 or 4.10 rear gears
locking diff
HORSEPOWER! HORSEPOWER! HORSEPOWER!
