Back-up cameras will be required by law, so Chevy would be crazy to design new cars without them.
They were supposed to be mandatory by 2011, but the implementation has been delayed. As I understand it, it's under review at the NHTSA.

Why would some one not want the camera. At most it would add 1lb to the car, but I doubt that. They are super handy to have if you are trying to back into a parking space and you want to see just how much room you have before you hit whats behind you.

If people are worried about adding 8 oz or 1 pound to a 3300 pound car, your not thinking straight. In these forums, everyone is obsessed with weight (for tracking), well, buy a real race car and you won't have to worry about stuff like a pound or two. Yes, you can track a Vette, but it's not a true race car. It's a mass produced sports car. Big difference....

I don't remember this being discussed but a "vehicle performance recorder" camera is an option on the C7 (according to the Canadian order guide). I wonder if it simply provides video or if it also ties in performance stats, lap times, etc?
Anyone know.
