How about all season radial tire option for people who live in the Northern states?

To keep cost down paint is not sanded/buffed to perfection. Anyway within a few miles the blemishes start to accumulate. The paint good enough.

I know they're lame desires, but I feel the car should have them.

Guess I gotta disagree. If anyone needs more horsepower buy the Z06. Gotta pay to play. GM needs to differentiate. Its all about marketing and profit.
If the Stingray #'s were bumped up, then the Z06 owners would be po'd.

BTW - I know how to properly position my mirrors so I have no blind spot, however after having the blind spot monitors on my other vehicles, I like the feature and the added indicator when someone is passing you. Plus, there are obviously other drivers, including Corvette owners, who don't know how to properly position their side mirrors and every little bit helps to make the roads safer. I can't imagine an embossed LED light and wiring would weigh that much.

  • Blind spot detection
  • Side-mounted turn signal repeaters (like the ones on Corvettes sold in Europe)
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Rear cross traffic detection
That's just about it for me. I love the car the way it is and am extremely happy to own one.

500 wouldn't have been a bad number to start, 25-30 bhp difference over the out going model is so C6, even the 2005 had 50 more than the '04.

Back up sensors
Blind spot warning in the mirrors and the hud
Turn signal indicators on the outside mirrors and the hud.
An option for an upgraded sound system...for those with good hearing.

Sound is so much better. Can't figure out what it was dropped!

Black lug nuts with black wheels! I think that is the cheapest option listed on this thread..

I would like to see tires as an option. All Season or Performance tires. I would also like to see Ceramic Brake Pads as a simple option.
