I think the hood looks decent, but 6 front lights? I don't think it's needed.

Have you seen the frankendash?
They are trying to go high class lambo interior and screwed it up.
attachment.php

There are like 3 levels to it and it's all stiched together, and they still have the 90's boombox radio. :/

Good God that's ugly. Has Chevy EVER designed a decent interior? I have yet to see one.

Sadly, the alcantara (I'm assuming, wouldn't be surprised if it was some cheap shit) wrapped Cruze steering wheel is a huge improvement.

it sure damn aint worth 50k especially as the skimped on forged internals unlike the gt500.

The engines have about the same safe power level capabilities, about 700-750 rwhp. The GT500 has PMR's as well the only thing that is forged is the pistons.

its above the cd player buttons it just has arrows point left right up and down.

I was joking I know it only has turn by turn navigation, but damn should not real navigation be available?

I'm underwhelmed by 550 chp from a blown 6.2L. We are only looking at a 30% increase in power from the N/A 6.2L.

For a little perspective, my Ford Racing Whipple upped my power 83% over stock.

550 hp from 426 and a 100k factory powertain warranty with the same internals is pretty impressive....especially considering the small supercharger. Lets compare apples to oranges here, would Ford warranty your engine to 100k miles?

really? so your comparing your bolt on and blown aftermarket system to a factory one with a factory tune and a 100k warranty? weird how that works. also look at a zr1, 700whp with bolt ons, is that not impressive either? probably not cause its a chevy...

oh maybe that just means that motor is that much more impressive na than yours is.

It can tell you where to go but it does it on the radio itself with arrows instead of having a real screen. You also have to call in destinations, which is not that hard to do....

And years behind ford's offering in the Mustangs..I drove a 2010 GT500 for a few months as my demo. That Nav system is so nice. I loved how I could sync my Iphone to the system and wirelessly play my songs through the car from my phone..Does Chevy only offer a cheap POS turn by turn only system? I hope not..

I have a Droid the NAV on it is better than the NAV on almost any car 2011 GT500 included. The Sync voice recognition is good but nowhere near as good as my Droid. Yes Chevy does have normal NAV just not in the Camaro the turn by turn navs only benefit is its cost.

Personally in my Escalade I like being able to call and have someone search for stuff while I am driving, but I have the option for both.

One of my favorite things about the interior of a gt500 is the snake on the nav screen...

nice, i have a blackberry storm 2 and it works better then any gps i've used so far, even the ones we use in our ambulances at work(which is really sad) i use my phone all the time especially with the mapquest app.

most aftermarket head units that have nav let you have custom home screen backgrounds.
