Blind spot monitoring. My wife's car (Mazda) has it and it's fantastic.
Standard rear view reverse camera. Again, my wife's Mazda has it. NAVIGATION without a monthly fee. It's 2013!!! |

Agree with the fbodfather... Hide aways are a cool concept, but have too many negatives. I actually think the HID RS lights are spot on. Great functionality, and make the car recognizable.

fbodfather, thanks for posting your thoughts!
Many great ideas posted so far. Weight target should be 3400 with a v8. Continue the 1st gen theme, the next gen will be slightly smaller, and on a different platform so it will look different than our current car. Dont forget 1st gen cues are why the current car has been so successful. I love my 12', but- Slim the rear end a bit, current car has a "fat butt" look. 1st gen cars have that muscular, sporty look but have a simpler, lean feel too. Front end- less pinched, less evil. Still sporty, but like the first gens, cleaner and leaner. Paint durability, if europe can do it we can too. Strategiclly placed clear film another option. LED lighting packages. Like the behind grille light bar vs actual hideaway lamps idea. Updated interior electronics package (color graphics, HD screen(s), many guage display options) abllity to choose from ECM PIDS what to display in HUD or dash info center. C7 and current ZL1 come to mind here. In dash shift light bright enough to work from peripheral vision. Yes Fbodfather, auto climate control. A sensor or two and programing, worth the minimal weight gain. Modern interior with minimal cues to previous generations. Same LT1 v8 as vette option. No detuning. No t-tops. Hold the line on pricing, 35G for loaded v8 trim. LT HO 4 or DI V6 engine options (sporty, fun, fast) SS V8, sport suspension (affordable muscle) Mag ride optional? Z28 V8, with manually adjusted shocks, track suspension (affordable, track capable) ZL1 Blown or larger displacement V8 (650-700hp), mag ride (top dog) Yes, the next gen is a huge challange. Keeping the car within weight targets without the use of carbon and other exotic materials that would drive the price up is difficult. Ok, we have to remember this is not a Corvette, but it better be lighter than the next Mustang. If this is done and paired with these new DI V8s and trick V6's we will have another American Hot Rod that goes in the history books. Team Camaro you have done a great job so far, LT and SS and esp. the 1LE and ZL1! Last edited by tsnow; 01-22-2013 at 05:23 PM. |

Devil's advocate....if the Mustang is lighter (again...only this time, it's not as huge a difference due to earning an IRS), yet the Camaro is a solidly-build vehicle and the Mustang is a comparably flexy car....how would you feel?

then overall we would win, as we now are.
I am confident our team can beat their team esp. if our guys get to see their's first. Yes, an IRS Mustang will be heavier than the current SRA car. However, I doubt Ford's next car will be flexy. They have tons of power avail in the 500 now, and whatever they build will harness that. They have been beat up too much regarding this as we have for weight. Our base V8's and track package cars should be lighter, even if just by a small amount. Let the customer add a bunch of weight in options if they want. If this is done then I feel our light and simpler kick butt, DI V8's will tip the balance to Camaro. again. |

Just a hypothetical I wanted to raise. The 5th gen is one of, if not the most structurally rigid chassis GM has ever produced. The Mustang doesn't even come close to this. And you can tell by the weight difference. If history repeated itself...with a smaller difference...I'd still be pretty happy. Especially if we end up on the ATS version of the Alpha platform...that formula can/will produce a 3300-3500 lb car. I4 => V8 |

Wow some of you guys are quite unrealistic with your wish list.
I'd like to see a 6th gen SS with: - Less than 3600 lbs - LT1 - 7-speed manual w/rev matching - Brembo brakes - At least a 275 width tire - 1SS Base price of less than 35k The rest is just details. Hopefully that's not too much to ask. |

The gritos pollo!!!

Don't let the legal department build the car!!!!
If its fast its bad ass, bad ass sells The only thing that irritates me unreasonably so is the cup holder. If you have a m6 they are useless. They need to be deeper so you can actually shift the car with a cup of coffee.

I seriously doubt that the 6th Gen Camaro will be significantly lighter than the 5th Gen Mustang. The V6 ATS is within 100lb's of the current Mustang so possibly 50-100 LBS's less for the Camaro (just guessing)... It's more than anything with the next gen's going to come down to a few things: 1. Fanboyism/Brand Loyalty 2. Which Car is Personally Better Looking/Fits the Buyer Better (Subjective Obviously) 3. Which is Cheaper |

Where do I start... Weight is obviously first, less than 3500lbs would be great. A functional sun visor would be nice. Factory paint with out nearly as much orange peel as on the 5th gens would be a really nice upgrade too.
