My biggest complaint is that I cant see my hood!

I hate parking when theres a wall infront of me and having to guess where the nose of my care is. If I could see it, life would be a whole lot easier.

-Cat Hump.
-Power Window Motors that burtn out on 50% of the F-Cars.
-Weak stock brake rotors.
-My M6 would grind once in a while going into gear with the clutch to the floor.
-The AIR pump made too much noise at start up.
-Poor fitting interior pieces.
-No back lit power window/lock etc buttons.


And I loved the car so much, that I would buy another one today if I could... bring me the same formula with modern quality, styling, performance!!!!

Hmmmm. My Biggest complaint about my Z28? Well, the stock clutches aren't worth a damn when compared to (GASP!!) Ford! My alternator & driver's power window conked out before the 60,000 mile mark. And that long front overhang doesn't mix well with California's notorious "dips".

But if I were to say what I absolutely HATE about my Camaro, that's easy!

THOSE RETARDED AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS THAT YOU CAN"T TURN OFF!!!!!!!! Sure, you can take apart the top of your dash and rewire it, but why should I have to? The idiots who dreamed this up obvious didn't consider those of us who have to drive through check points, or gates where you are required to turn off your lights before entering. Common sense would dictate that if these automatic lights turn on when the parking brake is released, it should turn off if the parking brake's reset if there was no way around it. But even better would be having the same consideration that seemingly every other car (even at GM) that has auto-lights has.... a switch to turn off the automatic function!

Those daytime running lights are a close second, but those are just plain annoying. The automatic headlights that can't be turned off are down right retarded, and the person who mandated it should be taken out and shot!!!

In new GM cars (or at least the 04 Grand Prix) you can turn off the auto headlights

Yes... but they just dont do the job well enough.

Plus there are other buttons that do not have the lights,,, such as ASR , and Fog Lamp switches....

the thing that I hate the most is the thing I love the most. the front GFX on my '92. It's broken (my fault, blind corner on semi-icy road + damn blazer in the middle of it = ditch diving. )

It hits EVERY curb. It's scratched to hell.

But I love the looks of it. It just makes the front end of the thirdgen what it is.

humm..


Window motors

hatch thing.. suck when you rwashing you car and you dry it all the open the hatch and everything gets wet again

Interior lights.. theres only on and thats in the far back and it isnt even that damn bright.. let alone good enough to shine all the way up to the drivers seat.

the hood thing was a bit annoying but i got over it and am pretty good at knowing where its at..

rear view see ability- cant really see much out of the back window

1. Headlights (oh that's a big #1 there!!)
2. Squeaky rear suspension (I'll remedy that soon enough though)
3. Engine Access
4. Can't see hood, though I'm used to it now.
5. Stock cupholder on pre-97's

That's it for me really. When I hit the gas though it's all good!!
