What option should GM have added?
I luv my ZL1, but I think there are a couple things that GM could've added to make the car a little more user friendly.
For me, my biggest gripe is the visibility when parking. I think mirrors that tilt down when you put the car in reverse would make me feel a whole lot more comfortable that I'm not about to destroy these expensive wheels. I have convex mirrors, but they don't seem to do much....especially at night.

No car is perfect and I love my ZL1, but there are a few things...
No auto close on the moonroof. Windows do but not the moonroof, really? Drivers seat memory and having it position back for exit/entry No nav option (2012). This wouldn't be bad but the dash design as we all know makes it horrible for aftermarket. The magnetic seatbelt holders are annoying. Give me clips I can slide the belt out of I need to. |

I personally don't like when the mirrors tilt down when in reverse. The back up camera serves its purpose in the 2012 models and the 2013 models utilizing mylink. If they did add the tilt mirror feature it needs to be able to be toggled between off/on. My '12 Charger R/T has it and its off but a cool feature I guess to have. It makes you feel like the money you spent was somewhat worth it with the safety features. I'd prefer a blind spot sensor and collision sensor safety package in future Camaros as an option. |

The car very but nice but would love memory seats and air conditioned seats. I don't quite understand heated seats since the car isn't really going to be driven in the winter by 90+% of the owners.

-Push button start (love just having the key in my pocket and going)
-Lines for the reverse camera to show the path of the car -Matching color head lamps and fog lights -bowties that blend better with the car without having to black them out -maybe a bigger blower -z28 style cold air intake from the factory -Carbon Ceramic Brake pads or ones that produce less dust -And just a crazy wish that I had a camera for the front too since I always worry I am going to hit the front on something. -Shorter break in period I love my car but the list above is all I could think of to make it better.

Memory seats and cooled seats would've been a nice option too. After weighing my car again, and seeing 4480 with me in it, I don't think GM could afford to add too much else without affecting performance.

I really can't think of anything I'd add, other than better audio. Not really a big deal, but this is the worst sounding set-up I've had since my '86 Trans Am.
