C8 Features
What features do you guys feel the C8 needs to have whether it be interior or exterior that you feel the C7 was missing? I personally feel it needs to have wireless apple car play, heated steering wheel, and blind spot monitoring. While I would love to have active aero and the ability to raise and lower the front end, I can’t see them being offered in the base variant.

Forged, powder coated wheels. Ability to get fixed roof coupe. 650-700 hp. Ability to surrender warranty in exchange for unlocking ECM/PCM.

As far as driver doo dads, it will need a rearview camera mirror standard. GM has these as options on some Cadillacs and the BoltEV and in my view they should be standard equipment on any car with limited outward visibility like the C8. Blind spot alerts and rear collision alerts should also be standard on such cars.

Apple carplay wouldn't make sense. Most people have Android phones. It would need to be compatible with both, or just go with open source protocols.

It’s a moot point, anyway, because most automakers offer both Carplay and Android Auto support.

Also, give us a place to stow our phones! The new Camaro has no place whatsoever to put a phone except for a platform in the rear seat area.

Legroom is going to be tough to come by. I think my biggest worry is it wont be fun to drive for long distances eg a one trick pony of sorts.
I hope I'm wrong. But these exotics are not comfortable imho.
