Give me a nice set of aftermarket wheels, suspension dropped an inch, throaty catback (Corsa) unless it gets the adjustable exhaust like the Corvette, and a new intake without restrictions. Hopefully the seats are much better than the 4th gen cuz those sucked.

I'll wait for the convertible, and I'll plan on immediately swapping exhaust (I can't stand those mufflers sticking out under there), changing the wheels (assuming there aren't other factory options), and buying a spare tail finish panel to have painted flat black; You can't tell me that wouldn't look sick!

Maybe if you don't have leather seats. My leather seats are freaking comfortable. Everyone complements my seats and how nice my car is inside, especially if they have ridden in a 4th gen that didn't have leather.

I really hope the 5th gen's interior is like the concepts. It's so freaking sexy. I'd tap it.

Well it gets the "someone made an interior uglier than a mustang interior" award.

I honestly don't really care about the interior, as long as its somewhat comfortable (4th gen interior cheapness is fine with me). If I had my choice I would get the bare bones minium, no onstar, no power windows... seats... mirrors...etc. A/C and a simple stereo would be the only options I'd want... with a somewhat decent alarm system also. Even though those power options are nice not everyone wants this car for these features due to the price and weight being jacked up. Hopefully they make a camaro with the LS3with minimal options for an out the door price of right around 30k, that would be a bargain. This car should be about ***** out power and performance for a reasonable price with all the other jazz taking a back seat. If I wanted a nice interior I'd look into a Cadillac. BTW I'll take mine in black

I already know all the details of what I want

Ill take 1 Supercharged Z28 Convertable 6 Speed Auto with A Tan Leather Interior and the Highest end Sound System so I can feel comfortable while Im blowing Cobras off the road and I dont have to roll down the window to give them the finger while Im passing them

Oh and Id like that in White or Bright Red Please

Put some nice wheels on that 5th gen, and it'll look at least as good as any other F-body ever has.
Nope.... firebird6786 got it right.... 4th gens put the new Camaro to shame.

For 30+ thousand dollars I would care. I would care a damn whole lot.

I guess I shouldn't say I don't care at all, but it certainly isn't a top priority for me. I'm not saying they shouldn't make a really nice interior either, but they should make a stripper model so people could pick up this car for under 30k. With all the options you can probably get with this car I could see it going for 35K+

You've got to be kidding. The leather set I have in my 4th gen cars are some of the most confortable seats I've ever sat in (and I've owned a Volvo in the past which are known for their perfect seats). I just hope they add to the 4th gen seat by putting real headrests on them like Porsche's.

Looks like it's going through the valance, not under it.

Well, actually, anyone driving behind will see it, but like I said, the aftermarket will fix that. I'm sure many V8 buyers will want to put an exhaust on their car; I know I will.

Those tails look similar to the Euro Corvette tail lights...which are pretty nice looking IMO

I cant wait for this car to come out...my dad is gonna start calling local dealerships to try and get his name on a list...or start one soon...It'll be cool to have two F bods in the family.
