IMO, the HUD is more suited for track use, hence the reason the 1LE has it in all trims.
If you really want to save money on tickets, invest in a good radar detector.

The HUD is indeed one of the coolest things about the 2SS and 1LE. It's not just for track. There are many other cars with HUDs, and they're not necessarily track cars - Mazda 3, Volvo, BMW sedans, Mini, Lexus, Benz. Not to mention a bunch of SUVs with HUD.
I can't take my eyes off it in normal street driving. It's mesmerizing. Maybe that's because I never had one before. It really has nothing to do with preventing tickets. HUD or not, you should always be aware of how fast you're going. It's just a cool convenience feature. Do you need it? Obviously no, but just the fact that a Camaro has one is pretty cool if you ask me.
