Well its hard to know where to start. Actually it's easy:Does your car have a sunroof? What are some things that are big improvements over the SS?
1) Power, Power and MOAR POWAAR! The SS was great but the 5BW is phenomenal!
2) The A10 is so responsive, so smooth when needed, and can really bark off the shifts when you get on it.
3) The adjustable MRC. My SS was a 2014 so it didn't have MRC.
4) The configurable modes to get the car to react exactly the way you want.
5) The throttle response. On the SS, I had a Livernois tune but still wasn't quite happy with how the car reacted until I put a Vitesse throttle controller on it. For the 5BW, no need for that!
6) The tech bronze wheels. I just love the way they look against the blue. My SS was black with the stock polished wheels and I kept all of the chrome plastic bits. So that look was OK but was aging. If I couldn't get a 5BW my plan was to keep the SS but black out all the chrome, and put some bronze wheels on it - going for this kind of a look:
7) I like the dual pane sunroof but to be honest if I had to do it over again, I would skip the sunroof in the hopes of getting some more rear headroom.
8) The front view camera. On the SS I definitely relied on the front parking sensors and increasing beeps to help know where the car is at. The camera is even better.
9) The surround vertical view that fuses all the cameras together.
10) The surround video recorder is also way cool, hope I never really need to use it but great to know it is there if I need it. I did not get the PDR.
11) Built in wireless phone charging
12) Apple Carplay. I got used to this in the rentals I drive when on business travel and missed it at home.
13) I use the adaptive cruise in stop-n-go traffic. Other than that I pretty much leave all of other electronic driving aids off.
14) Did I say the LT4 is awesome???
