If you could've changed the design of the 4th gen, what would you have done different

I think I would have liked to see the fender "vents" deleted from the 98-02 LS1 cars like on the LT1's. I also would have liked 5.7 or LS1 fender badges instead of the vents.

^^ yep I agree with everyone on here. Also the rattles...I'm framed and supported heavily and I still hear body and t-top rattles.
And I just love how the hatch pours water into the speakers whenever I wash car and open hatch to clean underneath! lol. It only happened once, duh. Now I crack it and put a towel in both sides before fully opening hatch.
all that said, I still love F-bodies, everytime I see one that is dirty as shiit and dinged to hell I want to tell owner to get it in shape! NOW! lol

Get rid of that damn hump!!!
true duals
Engine not under the cowl
Stronger rear ( they have at least brought back the 8.5)
HUD
6 cd radio in dash
XM
Re-wire the window motors or lighter glass/better motors
315 tire option wit Konis
2002-offered the LS6
brass headlight gears
Overhead console (Like the GTA's)
DIC
They should have designed the front suspension like the C5 and ditched the heavy shock/wheel-well setup.

A/C controls like I had in my Honda so that the Compressor wouldn't kick on unless I wanted it to.
Seriously tho, that car had the best thought out A/C controls (see attached pic), when running the A/C or the heat you could switch from the "fresh air intake" (like are cars a stuck getting all the air from) to cabin recirculate (this is somewhat equivalent to MAX AC on our controls) so you where either heating or cooling ALREADY heated/cooled air instead of having to heat up 0 degree outside air in the middle of winter, the A/C compressor was on a button so you could use ANY Vent selection with out being FORCED to have the compressor engage on it's own.
I know this sounds odd but if you have a car with the controls how Honda had it setup and use it in all types of weather you would quickly see how much better the controls are for dealing with different weather conditions.

I'm 6'3" and I hate sitting in my 01 Formula M6 for long drives. My legs start to cramp up and when I get out I need to stretch and get the juices back into my legs.

I'd complain for the interior, but it was pretty par for the course when the 4th gen came out. I agree with the WS6 being integrated in the T/A, I mean why not? I don't care for the stock rims much. I'd also would have liked to have seen a supercharged SLP made Cobra fighter at the end.
