Post "Did you know the Camaro has a...?"

OK C5'ers, this may be the start of a fun and interesting thread... Simple game - come up with a relatively not commonly known or undocumented feature of the Camaro and share it with others. [And consistent with all threads on this site, photos do count for a lot.]

I'll start with 5 features... Looking forward to your post!

1. "... fuel cap hanger on the inside of the fuel door"

2. "... pouch on the back of the passenger seat (perfect for stowing an iPad)"

3. "... telescoping steering wheel (in addition to tilt)"

4. "... clip underneath the console lid (ideal for storing registration)"

5. "... decal which tells you the date your car was built (mine's 08-22-11)"

All good but, the last one is not the date the car was built. It is the date that assembly was built. Notice the tag says "Front Hoirzontal Suspension"? If you look at the differential you will find a similar tag that more than likely shows a date a day later. The day after the date on the differential is more likely the cars build date. For example. Mine shows 8/28 2:26PM on the front frame, 8/29 7:39AM on the differential, and the build date is 8/31/2009. August 30th was a Sunday in 2009. Also 8/30 is my Birthday.

Never noticed the clip under the console lid. Good find there.

This was done already, but with your key in on position hold the menu button for 5mins you'll see a chevy emblem show up on your DIC panel.

There is a spot in the rear view mirror where if you looking hard enough right in the dead center of it you will see the loose nut. I've been told it was a dealer add on.

I've seen the hanger on every Chevy product I've driven that's an '06 or higher.
