Fuel Pump Access Panel..and after 5 pages of reading(unless I missed it) I'm the only one to say that..that's why it's in bold..lol

And atleast a 8.5" Rear from the factory to give those of us with M6 cars better hope it will last..

better suspension, 12 bolt, true duals, tq arm relocation, more than one usable cupholder on m6's (i use the hidden one, but its so damn flimsy im always worried about it breaking, and if i have anyone reasonably tall riding shotty it gets in the way of their legs as well)

A really short....short throw shifter for the M6's. Beefier clutch. A better rear would be nice too, surely they could of tossed at least a 8.5" 10 bolt under our cars. I'll be tossing in a 9" eventually so that should count.

Everything else listed here is good too.

I wouldve liked to have an 8.5" rear, the torque arm mounted to the CHASSIS, and true duals.

I wouldve liked better window motors too, I would swap the torque arm setup for a better window motor setup.

It would be nice if when I stopped my drink would fly out of the shitty cup holder. Who makes a f*cking cup holder a 1/2in deep?

Dear GOD does nobody read the thread titles anymore?!? Half the crap I've seen listed as "GM should've done" would've put the sticker another 20k higher than it was.

Maybe I should've titled the thread what have you FIXED that should've been done at the factory.

Along those lines I though of another addition to my car that GM should've done. I had to piggyback another spring on the rear hatch release because the factory on isn't strong enough to release the hatch fully on one button push.

(see what I did there. It's something I had to fix because of GM's shortcomings.)

Seats in the camaro, I replaced 'em with padded and covered 'em in leather.

Stereo Bezel that needed trimming to fit a double din radio or a custom computer.

Leather Wraped the interior pieces so the cheap plastic doesn't show.

I guess shocks are on my list now.
