Height adjustable passenger seat.

Stock height should be 1" lower.

Better sounding exhaust.

Body-color bowties.

Nav. screen option.

Take car functions out of the radio so it's easier to replace the head unit with a better one.

DRL's should be on a switch so they can come on with the halos on RS cars.

i agree these should have been stock features from the get go. especially for what we had to pay for the cars. can live without them, but would make life better with them. but most of them are rectifiable for a reasonable price.

Cheese to go with all the wine.

toesuf94 · 03-01-2011, 10:18 AM

Height adjustable PASS seat
Ambient lighting on the dash...
more color choices...esp a lighter blue and a green.

The top two items alone make me feel the car is...unfinished. I cannot bring myself to pull the trigger on buying a car for nearly $40,000 dollars and I am missing things that are key to the enjoyment of the car. The Ambient on the dash would just make the already cool interior AWESOME...and the seating position for the passenger is key to making the driver happy as well.

And yes, people HAVE finished the ambient lighting on their own...but when I spend $40,000 or more on my dream car, it should not include ripping half the dash off to complete the lighting package. The last thing I want to do is have a car that rattles because I did not get the dash back together properly.

Are you talking about someone in the back seat? There is a handle just below your headrest on the rear of the seat for that.

Ambient lighting should extend across the dash.

I pretty much agree with all of this, except I wouldn't have bought the Nav anyway. But I especially agree with the spare tire option for the SS and the height adjustable passenger seat. That was just a cheap move not to include that.

I would like to add that they should've kept ABM. I don't care about the darn sales #'s it was the damn most impressive looking color on this car! Every other color on this car is a standard boring color except IOM and SG.

IamJacksCamaro · 03-01-2011, 11:31 AM

1. Leather delete option
2. Key lock for trunk
3. Bring back ABM
4. Onstar buttons in overhead console
5. Height adjustable passenger seat

Suggestion to the OP: Let GM know the number of requests for each item.

Oh, you mean that when they take your gas and wheels, you would like to be sure of the utmost in damage? Neither item stops a dedicated thief. Where do you keep the "key" for your wheel locks? The glove compartment? At home? If at home, ya can't get yer own wheels off if you need to. If in the glove box, that is where a thief will look first.

OmniCamaro · 03-01-2011, 11:35 AM

I have no "real" problems with anything on my car BUT... If I could change something for us all in the future I'd say:
1. A better fuel door release system(not just push to open), maybe a button in the cab.
2. Definitely make the halo's on with or as the DRL's, they're too awesome to not show off!
3. Navigation would have been nice seeing how it is installed in the competition(F$@d).
4. No more AFM or deleted as an option!!! I am getting more and more tired of it and will eventually get rid of it when I'm able.

I would never complain or wine about my car but if posting this helps out a future, fellow Camaro owner then it's worth it.

Which is referred to as Proximity Keyless Entry, not to be confused with your everyday run of the mill Keyless Entry.

My car has keyless entry;but, it does not have a proximity key

RubyCamaro · 03-01-2011, 01:14 PM

The only things I would like to have would be adjustable passenger side seat & a true navigation system/screen.

RJNavarrete · 03-01-2011, 01:38 PM

Driver's seat needs some work, IMO.
