,wish you could have ordered cloth type seats,a lot cooler in the summer months.
Probably why I still love the digi-dash in my 87 too.

I would love to see a "club sport" type of an option which would be a stripper. No radio, A/C, or power options such as windows, door locks and so forth.
No leather, in fact a fiberglass or carbon fiber bucket racing seat, no removable roof ( hardtop ) and no air bags.
It should also come with 3:90 or 4:10 gears..............Oh Yeah!

That was the plan for the FRC/Z06 but they decided against it since putting out a cheap fast Corvette would pull buyers away from all the optioned ones. That is where they make their money. It probably would be impacted the values across all Vettes if the would have released the race car version. Unless they only made them in very limited quanity.

I guess the only thing I'd absolutely prefer that is "less" content would be manual cloth seats -- more grippy, comfortable, and lighter. I could live without the 12 CD changer as well. And, while we're at it, non-pop-up headlights would be a welcome change. With a DD you really need AC and a radio. I bet the power windows (which eliminate annoying handles) don't add too much weight. Same with HUD -- don't need it, but how much weight does it add?

You're telling me C5s never had a spare????? JK
Ha, but to tell you the truth, when I got my vette (I was 20), I searched for it for like 30 min thinking every car came with one

Your totally right. I actually remember reading somewhere that if GM wanted to offer manual windows for the race car vette it would cost the buyer more money. Strange but true.

Let's see...my first car had no A/C, no power steering, no power brakes, no power windows and only an AM radio.
At age 16 that felt perfectly normal.
Now, over three decades later, I want 'em all.
