No CAGS, a fuel guage that keeps working, and ignition key that goes in the column.

Outer Door handles need to be moved back on top of the door similar to where the chrome Stingray handles used to be on the 70-80 model Vettes. The current location of the outer door handle resembles a camaro door handle too much IMHO.

Flip up lights
Gas door to the back
Clamshell hood
Door handles like on the stingrays
Better option on gear ratio’s
A key (There is just something about turning a key)
Better factory exhaust system. Maybe some factory headers
Steering wheel controls
No more cheap bulbs in the ac and radio units.
The ability to turn off TM and CAGS.
Some many things.

Vette owners have been screaming for years 'we want more power, we want better leather, we want better paint, give us better tires, make the drive train bullet proof".......Well, IMO GM will give Vette owners what they have been screaming for, and the cost will be a smidge under 100k, and people will line up to buy em.

Some people were critical of the C5 design when it first came out. Chuck Jordan said it needed "shoulders" and, I think Larry said it needed, "creases."
There was actually some talk in the magazines of building this design. Larry got very sick, and passed away, and I don't think it ever happened.

Of course, that is too simple for GM, they would do it the hard way, just as they have done with the 427 NA in the C6 Z06

I like the idea of a more c-2 looking vette with a tt427 side pipes and a self retracting hard top. While we are at it give it a 30 gal fuel tank and zo6 status for under 70k.

Hope we dont see the chopped off rear end like the c6
a hardtop convertible would be nice
DONT YOU THINK ITS ALITTLE EARLY TO THINK OF THE C7?
I AGREE AS WELL I DONT LIKE THE C6 AS NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE C5 BUT THINK ABOUT IT THE C7 MIGHT NOT BE OUT FOR ANOTHER 5-8 YEARS
