What kind of neat little gadgets do u want on the 5th gen?

As options of course so there would still be people who want to save weight and money. but for people like me who are willling to sacrifice some weight, etc. for more things, what would u like. besides just the standard options like power windows, etc.

Personally i would have to say HUD that gives all sorts of read outs like G's, speed, rpm's, gear, etc., remote (un)locking and engine start sonar thing that is on the XLR and i think the C6 as well (not sure) to elimnate keys all together. Also an indash GPS screen that can play dvd's would be nice.

Id like the electronic compass and ext. temp gauge(in the mirror). An electronic HUD with all the readouts would be nice, but otherwise im with the above... NONE.

i think you can want all you want..you're most likely not gonna get push button start, or any other things that the vette just recently got (maybe hud-atleast i would want that )

and i seriously doubt we would get an indash dvd player

Heated Seats!

After having them on the Monte, they are almost irreplaceable in te winter on a daily driver, which a Camaro would be for me!!

I sure hope it has XM, I imagine it will since it's already becoming so prevalent. I'd love it to have a HUD but I kind of doubt it will be there.

(heated)

That would be excellent, actually!


I think the heated seats will probably make it since this has trickled down from luxury-only a while back... to mid-lux (liek Monte Carlo) and will now be down to more entry level cars like Cobalt.

The heated steering wheel, though, hasn't made this transition yet, though it would be excellent if it did!

Cool

On top of the "regular" power features there are not really too many things I'd like/want in my F-body.

Heated seats would be nice, as well as monochromatic rearview mirror w/compass&temp. That's pretty much it...

No DVD's, HUD's etc. etc.

My idea of a neat gadget is:

A nitrous button for all base models, with the wiring , software, and plumbing already integrated into the harness , injector bosses, fuel rail, and ECM.

THAT would be a cool option!

Then, for those who want an uprated model, a wastegate control ****! It chould be calibrated to read in this scale:

Warp Speed
Force IV Tornado
Hurricane Force
Eat your competition
Valet Mode


Now, Put that on the new car & we'll have something.
