I am mainly saying this because it'd be nice to fit a set of track wheels/tires back there with the back seats folded down...

Some additional small cargo space (i.e. phone, wallet, misc items, etc) inside the cabin would be nice.

Outside of these things, honestly nothing major. Skip-shift is annoying, but defeatable (driving or eliminator). Visibility is not an issue once you are used to it (it is both a mental thing and also a real thing, comparatively).

The only problem I have with the visibility is if you are pulling out of a road on an angle and need to see traffic that happens to be in the 4 o'clock blind spot. That is avoided by turning right a little so you can see out the passenger side window some more.
No biggie once you realize that one real blind spot.

The rubber rear cradle bushings. It should have come with solid ones from the factory.

All fixed now though.

What do you mean by "better" throttle response?
Because for me, the throttle response in Track mode is better.
I don't see the point of sport mode at all. Twitchy throttle response that gives you a big jolt of fuel early in the pedal travel, it annoys me. I love the smooth onset of power you get in track mode with its linear throttle response. Its so easy to control.

And why keep steering in track mode on the street? With all the 90 degree turns you have to do, the firm steering is just annoying. I always keep my steering in tour unless I'm actually on the track, then the track steering is super nice, but off track its pointless.

I confirmed today that the car indeed defaults to tour mode if turned off in track mode.

WHY didn't GM let you manually chose your throttle response?? WHY?

A non-linear...notch like gas application added to a car that does not put power down well.

That is the only complaint I have after owning the car for 6 months, you can't expect perfection for $40,000.

So you actually installed the ZL1-1LE bushings?
This was very recent, correct?

Can you post a review of the changes in handling so far?
Is it considerably superior to the ones that came stock?

1. Knowing if you hit a bump just right it could set off the side curtain airbags.
2. Can't get a helmet through the window opening.
3. Mode selector switch that easy to hit.
4. Knee pads that come off on track.
5. PDR video that is only 720p @30fps
6. Seats that aren't more track focused.
7. Electric parking brake

1. Sound quality of PDR on track days (wind buffeting
2. Resolution of PDR. I still like the PDR though and glad I opted for it.

This car has huge buffeting with one window down at about 60 mph, like someone is boxing your ears.

It is most definitely a big difference. I took it on a 200 mile drive today to visit family and there were lots of windy roads. You can drive this car hugging turns with one hand. The rear-end is very buttoned down now, it just stays put/still, and you can feel what is going on back there now.
