I just bought a G8 GT. The DIC is pretty cool. You can rotate through various screens that have digital speedometer, odometer/tripometer, fuel range, tire pressure, range with a "take a break" reminder, and an options screen. The options allows you to customize things like when the doors lock and unlock, when the lights turn on and off, overspeed and underspeed warnings, and probably some stuff I'm forgetting. The DIC also displays the radio station or cd track you're listening to, the gear you are in, and mode.
One thing that is cool about the G8 that would be nice on the Camaro is the night driving dash. If you press both the up and down buttons that dim or brighten the dash lights it turns off everything except the speedometer and DIC. So, your radio lights, tach, fuel gauge, battery and oil pressure gauges and everything else turn off. I used that feature for the first time last night, pretty sweet.
The "sport mode" shifting is also nice. The G8 has a 6 speed automatic with the "sport shift" mode that is actually more like two modes in itself. You can enter in to the mode and it will hold gears longer and not shift when you let off the gas; or, you can manually shift and enter into an almost manual mode.
If GM takes a lot of what they put in to the G8 and use it in the Camaros it will be fantastic!
