Camaro Disciple looking for input - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Solocus · 02-20-2012, 04:35 PM

Ok so the ZL1 fulfills the peak pricing point for a Camaro. Now we need something for those of us that subscribe to the belief that a Camaro is a poor mans Vette. Give us a simple, not state-of-the-art ZL1 type car, that is balanced, has a reasonable weight, good HP, and runs like a pony car should. Who needs leather, heated seats, even spoilers and ground effects. Give me a reasonably priced performance car without the luxury items that can stomp a BOSS 302.

Yes, a Z28 would do, maybe even a 1LE race package! 4th gens had the right idea with the Z28 vs the SS. Bring back the hand window cranks if you must, but give us a car that bang for the buck is all Camaro.

I loved it when I could say mustang never made a faster factory car than camaro. Of course this is arguable.

Blake_GM · 02-20-2012, 04:43 PM

Firmware upgrade to existing HUD owners and future SS/2LT/HUD retrofit owners so they also get the G-Meter and Shift lights as the ZL1. I believe it's called "format 4".

Dual mode exhaust option on the SS (like the Vettes and ZL1 both have).

Cooled seats optional across the board (I personally would pick cooled seats over heated and I bet most users on here would also)

..and build the 1LE/Z28 with a slight power bump but still 6.2 and N/A as Old Jedi said I think in the other (ZL1) input thread.

Thanks everyone, please keep them coming.

yes to the memory seats and larger visor. No way to narrow down that A pillar?

TJ91 · 02-20-2012, 05:08 PM

guys, you need to think of realistic constructive criticism for the current Camaro

TJ91 · 02-20-2012, 05:10 PM

I would say a switch to allow RS cars to have their fogs come on
Trying to think of other stuff, kind of hard since the Camaro has it all.
Ill let you know what I come up with Janet

Nameless · 02-20-2012, 05:11 PM

My car is on order so all I have is a few test drives to go by, but to echo what some other people have said (in case these suggestions are getting tallied)

- improve the sunvisors. They are strange and look out of place.

- please bring back some sort of blue. Something light like the aqua color in 2010. Its time was too short.

- some more personalization to the car would be nice. Bring back the word "Camaro" on the steering wheel. And incorporate the red, white, and blue Camaro emblem somewhere again perhaps.

The one think I dislike about my 2011 SS is The Onstar "shark fin" !

How about a "Onstar Delete" option ?

I also got a 1SS because I didnt like the look of the backup sensors and didnt want HUD. But why cant a 1SS buyer get the 4 pack gauages or leather seats as a option from the factory ?

redirish · 02-20-2012, 05:30 PM

Hi Janet, First off I love my 2010 SS/RS. The items I would like added or improved on are:
I really would like the 20" wheels to have a chrome option.
The DRL's would have a dual option
Brake shoes that don't make so much dust

Thanks Brian

KidKilowatt · 02-20-2012, 05:31 PM

Cue System please.

I do NOT want any OLD complaints. The Camaro Team are well aware of problems & take your complaints very seriously.

I am looking for your wishes, dreams and any changes you would like. Remember that most changes come with trade offs, $ cost or weight. What would you like me to present to the Camaro Team?

Janet

Navigation system!

Like others who asked, a RECARO seat option like in CTS-V.. You would be surprised how many would pay the $3000 upgrade!

GretchenGotGrowl · 02-20-2012, 06:07 PM

Alpha platform
Z/28 with better suspension (e.g. 1LE) with either a 5.0L DI/VVT or a 3.6L twin turbo
Factory gear options

trganey · 02-20-2012, 06:28 PM

Real sun visors or at least dark tint on upper portion of windshield. "Standard"

"OH Shit" handles on both sides. "Standard"

Limited Slip for Automatic V-6 RS "Standard"

Chrome 20's "optional"

NO Onstar "optional"

Shark fin same color as car "standard" if onstar installed

Better floor mats "optional"

Elbo rest built into door panel "standard"

Switch to make the "Fog Lights/DTR Lights" come on w/low beams-on RS "standard"

Interior release "only" for gas lid. "Standard"

Program the windows to drop as soon as and as long as you are touching the door handle(if the doors are unlocked) "standard"

There's tons more but that'll do for now. Just in case you wonder I love the 12' Camaro I have now.
