Default Least used feature?
I enjoy driving my Vette and hearing it perform. I have not turned on the radio even once since buying this vehicle mid August. I don't miss a radio at all...even a good one.

What don't you use or hardly use on your Vette?

How about that ELap Timer (Stop Watch thingy), I've never used that..
Also,
Traction Control (Always push it OFF)
Twilight Sentinel (Always OFF)
HUD (As much as I wanted this in a C5, I hardly use mine)
CAGS (Tuned out the first week I had the car)
Windshield Wipers (Don't ever drive it in the rain)

I just use the steering wheel, shifter, two pedals, and drivers seat w/seatbelt. The rest is all useless junk that is not needed!

I live in Sweden and use this button every day.

I never use the trip a or b feature and never the 12 disc changer. Use mp3
