This'll sound retro, but an easier Corvette that doesn't have so many bells.
I'll take a simpler Corvette with maybe improvements in other areas. Take off the "button door handles" and push button ignition start and put it into a better Blose (preferably, NOT a Blose), and thicker leather. Just a couple of "for instances".
Let me be clear: I'm not complaining. I just like simple cars. And if I miss anything, it's the top down, the surge from the engine and that wonderful NPP exhaust!

[QUOTE=GotCorvette?;1562418606]What feature on your Corvette do you miss the most when you drive other cars?
For me it's a tossup between the HUD and the keyless entry.[/QUOT
HUD, Nav, Keyless and the POWER!!!!!!!!!

Apart from the power and the grin on my face, I miss the heads-up display while driving other cars. . . what a great feature! Would love to have it on every one of our other cars.
As far as keyless entry and start - -frankly, I'm not a big fan - - I like pressing the little button on the fob on the other cars and hearing the doors "clunk" locked or open and I have no struggle with sticking a metal or electronic key into a receptacle in the car - - call me old fashioned.
But heads-up?? Yeah baby . . .it's a kick !

The handling and then the power. If I could I would have happily bought it without all the power accessories including the A/C
The Corvette has become ALMOST too civilized. I would give up all the garbage for an extra 200 horsepower, wait sounds like the Viper :o
