Wish list for Camaro interior

Dwarf Killer · 10-14-2006, 08:25 PM

There are a few essentials that I would like for the new Camaro interior. I would like to hear some more suggestions from others too.

1) A 200mph speedometer.

2) A special cubby (mounting area) for a radar detector that can't be seen from the outside of the car.

3) A place for a laser jammer or Bearcat in the dash.

4) Blank spots to put accessory switches on the dashboard (to facilitate the above). Accessory switches could be sold by dealers for aftersale installation. Trucks have them, why not the Camaro?

5) A leather covered, nicely padded centre armrest.

Navigation w/ dual auto climate control is on the top of my list...But I think that is something it will definatly have..

cupholders either in front or beside the shifter not behind it!, parking brake on the passenger side and a bunch of usefull cubby holes.

and not retro.

I will once he puts a few grand into it. I will prolly do the same thing. Mine needs to do have a 200 mph speedo

I dunno about the mounts for the radar/jammer, but I think the speedo at 200 would be cool (although it is not at the top of my list). The top of my list is definitely a navigation system and dual climate control....

i doubt these are happening, especially the first two, that is probably against some regulation, since it would almost be like a factory radar detector, and would be "promoting" speeding. i havent seen #4 before on trucks, but it might be kindof cool.

me i would personally like to have
WINDOW MOTORS THAT ACTUALLY FREAKING WORK!!!

STEEL, do you honestly know how much HP (and aero work) it takes to reach that kind of velocity? It won't amount to "a couple of grand".

Besides, imagine how small the numbers would be on the gauge.

No, I honestly have no idea. I dont know if the one i buy will ever go that fast, but i have dreams. Plus, it impresses stupid people when they see stuff like a 200 mph speedomiter.

GTO gauges are quite functional at 200mph max. What it takes to get there is more gearing and tires than power.

You obviously dont know **** about cars.

It would take an entire remake of the car,
suspension,
aerodynamics (like a completeley new body)
probably a new motor if not a completley rebuilt one,
a new transmission, or completeley new gears (not just a rear gear swap),
Tires have nothing to do with obtaining thats speed, merely you just need a tire that wont blow up going that fast.

I mean how many STREET cars do you know that can go over 200. I can think of 3 or 4 off the top of my head, and they are all shaped like a bullet and all have over 600 hp.

Not to mention, anyone that takes a street car on a public road up to that speed needs to be shot in the god damn head. It is completley irresponsible, stupid, and possibly dangerous to alot of people. How would you feel if you took your little street car up to 180-200 and killed an entire family. It is impossible to control a car at that speed with other traffic on the road.

So no, i do not think it needs a 200 mph speedo, and NOBODY short of a professional trained driver on a track needs to be going anywhere near that speed. If you do, your a ****ing moron, plain and simple.

Just have to bust your balls a bit.

I still want the console gauges, its just neat.
Everything else has already been said. Wait, an interior that I can't destroy when I get mad and start pounding my fist on things. Poor center console.

- An HSV steering wheel... nice, thick rimmed, and squared off slightly at the bottom.
- Heritage design instruments that are easy to read, especially at night.
- Interior plastics must be of good quality... much like the VE Commodore.
- MP3 stereo compatibility (I hear CDs will become obsolete soon).
- Slow fade interior lighting.
- Nice, firm, supportive seats with good, thigh, hip and lumbar support.

That's all I can think of for now.

Totally agree with this list. I also agree with the accessory switches listed above - and the CONSOLE GAUGES!!! I thought that was the best feature of the concept, and would be SO distinctive!!

I disagree with the cupholders in front of the shifter, though. My Wrangler has them there and whenever you shift into third - BAM - your drink's crushed and all over the place. Cup holders off to the side are the best. The cupholders on my wife's 350z aren't great either - they're at the end of the center console and are hard to reach. They do have one cupholder and deploys out of dashboard on the passenger side - which isn't bad, except that it's pretty flimsy. But hidden cupholders would be cool!!
