Features Question
Just trying to understand which one of these features are going to be available in the Corvette. I visited one of the dealerships here the other day, they are completely clueless. I tried googling for some of these things and found conflicting results. I apologize if it's a repost, it would be great if you guys can help out:
- LED Headlights : Does corvette have full LED headlights, or are they partially LED with Xenon bulbs or just Xenon?
- Power tailgate/trunk : Does trunk open by itself when a button on the key fob is pressed or do you have to manually pull it up. In other words, is there a hydraulic mechanism inside the trunk?
- Cameras : Does the car have rear, front, top down cameras available?
- Parking assist : Does it have sensors in the back, front, sides and audio based assist inside cabin that beeps as you get close to obstacles?
- Hill assist : For manual cars, does corvette offer hill assist? This is a feature many European cars offer for manual (or dual clutch) cars where if the car is stopped on a hill, the brakes are engaged for a duration of 3 seconds on their own if you take your foot of the brake so the car does not slide down.
- Blind spot detection : Any lights or indicators on the dashboard, mirrors, etc for blind spot?
- Lane departure warnings : Similar to above for moving in and out of the lane without giving a turn signal.
- Adaptive Cruise Control : Cruise control that will decelerate and accelerate depending on traffic ahead using sensors.
- Automatic windshield sensor : Sensors that automatically control the speed of the windshield wipers depending on the speed and the amount of rain drops that hit on the windshield.
- Collusion Warning : Another driving aid that shows visual and audio warnings on the cockpit and inside the cabin if you don't slow down and a car in front of you is stopping/slowing down. The system can also brake on your behalf in catastrophic conditions.
- Keyless door open/Comfort access : You do not need to press anything on the key fob or place the key fob anywhere in the car to get in the car and start it.
- Folding side mirrors : Ability to fold the side mirrors.
- Adjustable side bolsters on seats : Ability to adjust side (top and bottom) bolsters.
- Auto start/stop : Car automatically stops in traffic to save gas when you are stopped at a red light etc.
- Customizing driving modes : Ability to turn off traction control or change throttle settings as well as other presets in the car and overriding one of the 5 driving modes based on your own needs.
Thanks.

It doesn't have - and I hope it never will have - power trunk/hatch opener, or auto start/stop.
Has rear camera, and mirrors fold. I don't think it has LED lights, but I wouldn't be surprised if it and most other cars have those in the future. Hopefully it doesn't have lane departure warning, or if it does, hopefully it isn't annoying like every one I've ever experienced (or can shut off).
It does have hill assist - I have no experience with it, but Stingray owners with manual trans seem to suggest it works fine.
And the keyless fob allows you to walk up to your locked car, get in it and start it without touching the fob. C6s had that as well.

I dont understand.
Transmission is something that is discussed at great length in lots of internet forums. Features of the C7 corvette, especially at a level of detail I am looking for, is not.
Most of those features I dont care about. I was just curious that's all. Thanks to the person who gave me the GM link, I'm going to read it up.

The only thing that truly disappointed me is no remote start in manual transmission
Why can't they make it work if the car is in neutral? I was so hoping for this.

I think the C6 ZR1 was more of a combination of performance and luxury as compared to the C6 Z06.

I'm guessing there's too much risk of the car launching and killing someone with a manual if someone were to leave the car in gear. I'm guessing that GM lawyers said no to this option. It is available aftermarket for most cars, but requires conditions that must be met for safety reasons - ie. emergency brake engaged and car in neutral.

OP didn't ask about 3 features I hope the Z06 doesn't have:
-cylinder deactivation
-heavy variable-valve timing
-Did GM remove the cheap-a$$ paddles from manual Z06s? That was just retarded; not even cheap Kias leave them in manual cars. That could be a deal-breaker for me too (yeah, I'm that picky
)
Does anybody know?
And does the manual Tremec tranny crunches when cold like the GS did? That'd be a deal-breaker for sure too. I sold my otherwise excellent '12 GS Centennial because of that. Thx.

The transmission is the same as in the C6 and teh C7 Stingray as far as I know.

. But thanks. All that weight and complication to make it happen should have been left out of the Z06, but at least it can be deactivated. I guess it also has the variable-valve timing. No wonder it's over 3,500 lbs. At least much lighter than the GTR .

Since I will be using mine as a daily driver often in heavy traffic on dark early mornings, I really wish there was blind spot detection. Does anyone know of a decent after market product?
