On the convertibles, the sun visors are a joke. Too small and limited travel due to the top part of the windshield frame being so thick. Also, my wife was disappointed that they couldn't find a way to put in lighted mirrors. However, the nice thing about the convertible is that there are no blind spots with the top down.

The stupid ding noise every time Bluetooth and WiFi connect that can't be disabled is annoying but I'm mostly used to it by now. Plus messages pop up for those and text messages and climate control changes covering part of Android Auto and/or the digital dash which is not really necessary.

Skip shift is dangerous in some situations when you have to pull out slowly in order to see if anyone is coming but you can disable it easily and cheaply with the plug and play CAGS wiring harness.

Just coming back from autoX yesterday, I can report that the lack of a handbrake in no way prevents me from drifting around a turn.

I do not like all the electronics, including the e-brake, or the the fact that you can't get a LT4 in the LT1.
Also, all the little areas around exterior of the car where mesquite needles get stuck.

The only other thing would be the tires. But, I planned on aftermarket rims/tires anyway before I bought it because I knew they'd suck with 455 ponies turning them.

That being said, I'd buy another one... No question.

There is one area for me with a four lane divided road (2 lanes on each side) with a median between them. North bound State Street and South bound State Street. I was in the median which is at an angle around 35 to 40 degrees to enter the South bound side. It's the first time I used that particular road with my Camaro. There is no way to see oncoming traffic from that angle. I have never encountered that helpless feeling before, no other vehicle including my older 2008 Mustang has this particular issue. The rear column completely obscures all view. Luckily when I finally decided to take an educated guess and go for it, there were no cars coming.

It is the only bad thing I have encountered with my Camaro. My work around is to just not use that particular bit of road. I can go down half a mile and use a 4-way intersection.
I have been waiting for someone else to post this. It is down right scary when coming across this specific type of intersection/turn. You literally can’t see anything to your right. This isn’t a mirror adjustment thing for anyone that thinks it is. I am honestly shocked the car passed safety tests because of this specific turn. Only fix is to turn right instead of left or avoid those intersections. If I have to make that left turn, I will keep creeping forward (as long as no cars are coming from my left) until I can see to my right. Something I want to try next time I come across this type of turn is to stop a couple feet back instead of pulling all the way to the spot behind the white line. Im thinking from that angle we might be able to see to our right better.

Trunk opening is absurdly small. As my daily driver it can get annoying, but FAR from a deal breaker. I'd buy it with a trunk half the size, and I love the look, so it's a worthwhile sacrifice. it's just a pain loading larger items sometimes.

Not sure if it feels different in the A8/10, but in the M6 it feels like you're fighting something just a tiny bit when you go with the brake on. Yes, it disengages, but it also feels like unnecessary stress on the clutch from the extra resistance. Minor - if any - real wear for sure, but mentally it's unnerving.

After a few weeks with this Camaro I've acclimated myself to most of the things mentioned in this thread. The only two small things that still catch me out are being first at a stoplight and not being able to see the light at all, IDK maybe it's a tall thing but I have to remember to leave a little space. Also, the auto up/down window switches are like a knifes edge and all they want to do is go all the way up or down... figured out the double tap this morning though so I should be good now.

Nope, not a tall thing. I have a short torso, so I raise the seat to see over the gauge cluster and hood. I have the same problem with lights.

There are prisms like these available to help you see traffic lights but I have just gotten used to stopping a little farther back or watching the lights for the cross street until they turn yellow and leaning forward to see when my light goes green.

I ordered my Camaro and specifically went with a 2SS so I could get a choice of interior color. This was also my issue with the 1LE package, how they force the black interior and exterior parts. I would have loved to have had the mechanical upgrades without the black color forced on me.

Go into any dealer lot and the vast majority of pre-ordered lot cars are all black interior. I know this is the easy way out, less likely to notice dirt/grime, more likely to move a lot vehicle... but it is annoying to only see black (or dark grey) interiors. I am with you, find some way to add some interior color.
