I'd be a buyer for ZL1 competition seats. The stock Recaros are great and do a reasonably good job at holding you in place, but I'd like to have pass-throughs for a harness.

I'd also like to see a factory option for carbon ceramic brakes. I know that Racing Brake offers a kit, but the rears require a caliper swap. It seems like a simple rotor and pad kit would be easy for GM to offer even with limited sales expectations. I'd just don't want to go through the trouble of getting calipers painted or having mismatched calipers, etc..

GM stops a little short when it comes to Camaro accessories. Just as another example, I'd love to have the ZL1 1LE wheels and tires. However, the speedometer and PTM coefficients would be off. Of course the speedometer can be corrected if you're willing to tune and forfeit the warranty, but it'd be trivial for GM to offer a tune to correct the speedometer (and any traction specific coefficients). I've considered selling my car and getting the ZL1 1LE, but that doesn't solve the seat or brake issue. Competition seats and carbon ceramic brakes are offered on the Z06, but the Z06 has its own problems.

(Don't get me wrong, modern Corvettes and Camaros are absolutely great cars for the money.)
