Front and Rear Park assist

I'm hopeful for a lower front cowl. I believe thats something corvette engineers should work towards.

#1 request? LOSE THE GADGETS!!!! Put an F1 style wheel in it for suspension settings, radio and climate control near the shifter with physical ***** - and THAT'S IT. I am so impossibly sick of all this iCrap infoDistratction nonsense that's cluttering up dashes on new cars. The previous Ford GT nailed interior design for driver controls. No NAV, no screens, no BS; just a badass McIntosh, some lusty toggle switches and a man's man shifter.

I want to drive, not buy another complicated, distracting electronic gizmo. Seriously, if its got a dumbass touch screen in it, I don't want it.

Oh, and I want a manual parking brake and a damned door handle attached to a cable too while you're at it.

Here's another idea - no options but color. All this 3lz z07 nonsense is fine if you're trying to help working class fellas sneak into cars they can't afford by doing without certain features - but something like a mid-engine flagship needs to be its own island of focused design perfection without any dealer level order form meddling.

Speaking of dealers - please find a way to discourage dealer 'market adjustments'. Its so, so old.

PS - no stripes!

Larry/car

I don't think you will ever see a car like that again. Look back to the sixties cars, there you will find the car your dreaming of.

Lots of current driver focused sport/hyper cars still have standard controls. There are no shortage of options, regardless of price point, from the Ariel Atom to Koenigsegg. Part of the reason the previous GT is now worth double or triple its original asking price is because guys like me are over the diaposeable electronic nonsense in modern cars. Don't get me wrong, I love science but I've had it with these buggy worthless distractions littering consoles in new cars. I have a C7 Z06 and what is otherwise perfection is ruined by the glowing abortion in front of the shifter. The Z06 is a barely legal track car with a dash designed for Asian teenage girls. I want to adjust the temp and turn the music up or down. I don't need the weather, a hands free phone, a GPS that can't find anything, a friggin' SMS app or a $200 a year subscription to Howard Stern in a car with 650 horsepower.

BTW, you'd have more credibility of you learned the difference between your and you're. Maybe you should stick with emojis?

more accommodation for taller people and a tire temp gauge...

Pot....meet kettle

Suns_PSD

Manual trans.

WBT

Have the CD player in the C8. At least make it optional.

B-Vette

I imagine it will (at the very least), have all the options available on the current C7. I'm ok with that.

I'd like to see something that allows the car to access steep driveways, steep parking entrances, what have you, without pulling off the front spoiler.

Amen. And all this time I thought I was the only one. Let me think about what else I could give up in my C5Z. You can have my dual climate control and my power driver's seat. I'll forfeit that HUD system and my keyless entry. Better yet, I'll trade all the above for a better paint job that BG so seems to struggle with.

Well if we are going to shoot for the moon I want a Koenigsegg Freevalve Turbo with a double clutch tranny.

PS run the valves off engine oil instead of compressed air...

I like all the electronics as long as they don't disable the car and have open source code so it can be modified so you can pick what apps. and views you want to use. Otherwise - get rid of them!
