That was awesome.

And I agree with Z284ever about 90% of the time...

 

No way dude, I need the seat foam. And leather (suede inserts would be cool). And PW. But worthless gauges, I could do without...and rather not be stuck with, if I choose a HUD.

I just don't like alot of worthless bullsh!t all over the place.

Also, I don't like the shifter either. It looks like a 1950's throttle control for Flash Gordon's space ship. I'd rather have a modern short throw shifter.

 

Ummm... I stated that there were atleast 6 message boards out there off the top of my head....2 of those are for v6 f bodies. I also have a v6 camaro and Im on this board as well as all the others. Your point again

P.S. I would like to drive home what I was saying. People spend time on the internet, you cant escape it. If your into cars youll be searching around to find info on it. If your shopping for cars youll search for info. I shop for cars and I am not even in the market, wouldnt it be nice to tell someone who can make a difference? Convey your thoughts with a group of people, one of which takes note and lets the car manufactuer know what people are interested in. Even if your not searching, word travels fast via 0's and 1's so more than likely your bound to run across some info along the way.

Ahh I see what your saying as far as these sites alone. I was refering more along the lines of a manufacturers site. Have individuals who are marketing the car target these sites and invite them to their site to give feedback. Im sure you would tell other people that you could do that and how great GM is for letting the buyer give input about the cars they want. Then they would check it out and tell other people. Hell you can order pizza online nowadays, car manufacturers need to look into the possibilities that are on the internet...thats all.

At one point it was all about word of mouth, then newspaper, then the radio, then television now its the internet and they must take advantage.

 

I dont think it should be the sole source though. There are plenty of enthusiast that go to different car shows, races, cruise fest who do not go online. Also 1 person could have 10 accounts and use all ten to vot in a particular pole. Ive seen plenty of times "just clear your cache and vote again" That may not work but the idea that someone would do that is telling. Its good for a feel of the public perception but not by itself.

 

Yes I stated sole target, then I said a good percentage. That is my fault. What I should have said is that a majority of your target source is on the internet.

...whew, that was good... I'd forgotten all about that show... maybe I am old...but I agree 100%.

 

maybe im an idiot but can someone show what a Heads up display is????? Maybe im just confused?

 

The world's first production "performance" Head-Up Display is a GM exclusive patent allowing the driver to view the speedometer, tachometer, water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and turn signal while looking directly at the road ahead.

 

I just tried looking for how much the HUD costs to put as an option for the corvette, but i must be blind or something. Can someone tell me about how much this option would be on the camaro?

 

Radio stations too doesn't it? I can't remember.

 

You can turn off the HUD if you want, right?

 

Yes, and you can select what info you want, I usually ended up going w/ just the speed and maybe the fuel.

 

Hmm....Sounds pretty cool. Okay, sign me up for the HUD.

Oh, I'll take those vette gauges in the Camaro too.

 

Not a fan of the console guages. The idea of looking next to my knees for fuel and tempreature is going to turn annoying within the 1st hour of driving.

Heads up display is just another high tech way of solving a very simple issue.

Instead of spending the added costs of putting a HUD to compensate for a bad styling idea, simply put the guages up on the dash. You can still keep the alternator and oil pressure guage in the console, but put the fuel and temp where you can glance it in an instance.

HUD should be an option (though it would be one I'd skip myself), but it shouldn't be a subsitute.
