Do our C5 sports cars really need this stuff?

Tire pressure sensors
Hud
Dual climate control
heated mirrors
Memory functions

To me its just more costly stuff that will malfunction years down the road

I agree but, they are cool nonetheless. I really like the HUD and would replace it if it stopped working. I could do without the tire pressure sensors, dual climate, heated mirros and memory function.

with run-flats, you do need the sensors.... as you can't detect a flat EM tire (until it's too late and you're going sideways).

My C5 doesn't have the HUD, so I don't I can't comment on that one. Living in Texas I don't need heated mirrors or seats, but since I keep run flats on my car the tire pressure sensors are worth having and replacing if necessary.

Wonder if you can order a new vette bone stock for higher performance like we did back in the 70s to have a sleeper...not that a Corvette would ever pass for a granny mobile! LOL

My first vette was a 1976 with 454 and 4-speed. It had A/C, radio, power windows and locks...and that was it for add-ons. Rough riding loud ride, but it beat everything in town.

"Tire pressure sensors
Hud
Dual climate control
Memory functions"

but don't need the heated mirrors, or seats.:thumbsup:

With older eyes, the speedometer is a little blurry, the HUD is at just the right distance to read clearly + at highway speeds and radar it nice to have the speed posted on the windshield . Would definitely replace if it went bad
