Don't get me wrong the C7 has an amazing array of standard features and options we can add to this awesome vehicle.
However, if you can add one feature than is not currently offered what would it be?
For me, it would be auto folding mirrors. I have this feature on one of my cars and I love it. Why do I love this feature? When I lock that car the mirrors fold, when I unlock the unfold.
To have the mirrors tucked in out of the way when it's in the garage or in a parking space it makes it easier to get by the car with having someone bumped into them. And it looks cool when they fold and unfold!
Personal experience, my previous car (an Acura) was parked outside a restaurant when I returned to my car the mirror was broken. My guess is someone who passed between my car and the other parked car ran into my mirror got pissed and smashed it with their fist.

I'd like to be able to disable auto headlights. Everytime I start car in my garage lights come on. Everytime I pull into my garage lights come on. Never had a car before that auto headlights were always enabled.

Geez people, buy a Cadillac!
The 'vert, with the top up, is worse than the coupe for rear visibility, and I don't have any real issues with rear visibility with the mirrors adjusted properly. As for ambient lighting, this is a SPORTS car, not an Audi Luxoboat.
Seriously, you can't find them by feel? The last thing I want is more distracting lights in my field of vision.
I'll repeat, buy a Cadillac. But as for the seatbelt retainer, it's supposed to be for children and short adults, not "full size" adults. Works fine when used as intended. I don't think weight has much to do with it. All of these things together probably wouldn't weight 100 pounds. But they all cost money. And really, how hard is it to turn on the wipers when it starts to rain?
The exhaust will never happen. GM has to meet federal noise standards, and there are serious fines for failing to do so. None of those aftermarket systems would pass.
Not likely, unless you're also willing to give up HP. It's that auto AFM that gets the EPA numbers so high.
Given that EPA mileage standards get a lot tougher in 2017, this is pretty unlikely. And no, GM can't get around that by increasing the mpg of all the other cars in the fleet. CAFE is no longer a full "fleet" average. Google it.
See the headlight switch on the end of the turn signal stalk? Rotate it clockwise one notch, the the auto function goes off. It'll reset to auto the next time you start it, but you can turn them off if you're going to have the car on in the garage. As far as coming on when you pull into the garage, so what? They shut off 30 seconds after you turn the car off.
So what would I want?
Actual cooled seats, not just ventilated ones. And more powerful fans in the seats, especially the seat back.
The ability to lower or raise the top without having to continually press the button would be nice.
The ability to raise the seat higher in the 'vert (which seems to limit vertical motion compared to the coupe.
Front cameras to go with the rear (finally here on 2016, but not retrofittable). And ones that weren't so ugly would be a plus.

Power folding mirrors
Rain sensors wipers
Ambient cabin lighting
Stereo equalizer ( better head unit in general)
Adjustable side bolsters on bottom of seat
Seatbelt retainer on seat that actually holds the seat belt!
Blind spot warning
Front and rear proximity sensors
Signal indicators on mirrors
Fog lights
I do realize that most of these items are excluded as part of weight saving, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have them.
