I went 2024 1LT with Performance Exhaust and PPF on the front, for $67k. Nice exhaust, 10 speaker Bose, leather everything, power everything, digital rearview mirror, remote start... It doesn't need anything else... Perfect sports car, I didn't see the point of spending another $7k.

The mirror you like in the video, is now standard on the 2024 model...

[jakewebb]

This video helped convince me the 1lt is definitely the better option for the price..

[guyriccardi]

I got the 2LT, adrenaline red/black seats, non-Z51, front lift- no mag ride. Love it!

[tedjohnson]

Very well thought out video! I’ve seen a bunch of C8 reviews, but you’re the first to point out the fact that it’s really hard to see cars driving alongside. Also liked the tape measure showing the height before and after.

[brenanconroy]

I'm in line for one of these, had been debating on 1LT and 2LT, as $68k vs $75k is still pretty big... But you're right, 2LT is worth it

[farangatang]

2LT with Z51 and no added options is by far the best value of the entire lineup, or any car! Just under $86k cdn (MSRP), or $18k cheaper than a non track package GT500!!!!

[tqlla]

when a 1LT pulls up.... "Hide the money y'all, theres poor people around"


I am just kidding, I have a 26 year old car with 306K miles on it.

[lukehayvaz]

This confirms that I don’t need a 2lt or z51 package. 1lt plus exhaust and high wing is all I want on a convertible. Very informative. Thank you.

Just one thing about that rear video camera: I bought a 2020 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury with that rear video camera, and thought that would be marvelous. Well it is for SOME THINGS. However, it is hard to determine actual distance as things look way behind you. And one day, I thought I had tons of room to casually move over to the next lane, and as I started to do that, I glanced back and the car that I thought was far behind me was right on top of me. I had to make an emergency move to prevent getting clobbered. Maybe I haven't figured out how to use it correctly, but just wanted to post this to hopefully prevent someone else from having my experience. I no longer use that camera unless someone pulls up extremely close to my rear bumper, and I can fuss about them being jerks.

Thank you for this great common sense Corvette video. I am a 1st time owner of a 2019 1LT Stingray. The bang for the buck which the 2 LT package offers sounds great for people who are new to Corvettes.

[glen]

Simple, well done, concise explanation of the option package. Convinced me, well worth the extra money. Thank you.

The best way to improve blind-spot visibility is with Paragon's external rear view mirrors, which are convex on both sides and blue-tinted to reduce headlight glare...these are utterly fantastic. Swap them out in 10 minutes. Yeah, the view out the rear is small but you can clearly distinguish cars from say, a kangaroo. As far as the other stuff, I'd like the Bose, but the base audio is pretty decent. I have no interest in the PDR, front lift (haven't hit anything yet), head's up display, garage door remote (my door needs a hi-security opener), folding mirrors (they still fold), heated/cooled seats (I'm in FL and BTW the seats are not cooled, just vented), and navigation (Google's fantastic maps are free and Siri's turn-by-turn directions are dead-on perfect). Nice to have the $7300 still in by bank and 100 extra lbs not on the car...

Get a convertible and the rear view camera mirror comes with the 1LT. The difference pays for the convertible. Plus with the rear window down you hear the exhaust more. The engine bay doesn’t look dirty after one year also. My next C8 will be a HTC

[williamkroth]

Your excellent video convinced me to go with the 2LT option and I am happy that I did. Thanks!

[zioo]

Such an excellent point with regard to the camera. You provide a logical and sequential reason set for obtaining the axle lift system. If you are away from your normal environment, and run into a situation where you really can't measure the situation and you lift the front and you make it over the obstacle, albeit bafely, thus preventing the potential damage, and you just paid for the entire cost of the system. Bose. Hope it turns out to be as good as you say. 5th) I do not actually understand why the HUD is not more dominant than it is. I can barely see it, as it is. (age, older eyes) and I wish the level could be turned up a bit higher. This is one of the best informational video I've seen. Suggestion do a full-on comparison of the three different seat options in the C8. Thank you.

[JBsC]

I expect aftermarket will figure out the rearview camera upgrade. I've owned rear mid engine cars and drive in Manhattan. Let's not get crazy with tech and say it's impossible to drive without a rearview camera.

[ehiracheta]

Pretty informative. Thank you for this vid! I was wrestling with 1lt vs 2lt. This just confirmed i want the 1lt. I know i may be in the minority here but all that is not worth $7300 to me, and if you add front end lift it goes up to $8800....so yea an extra 9k. I can deal with the rear view cam on my screen when reversing. Only thing i would miss is the HD rear camera...but other than that the other options like heated/cooled this/that, stereo, ect are not important to me. My 1LT C8 build is $66k...and that's pretty stellar....one thing I will not be compromising on is getting the Z51 package!

[bobfredericks]

Ordered the 3LT. No regrets at all. Love it on our C7.

[_C_FL]

Agreed. The 2LT has everything you need. The 3LT is kind of overkill when it comes to options imo.

[al]

No 2lt for me. The 1lt car comes with leather seats and that’s all it matters to me, plus 1lt is lighter and ideal for road coarse and drag coarse racing. I m planning on getting a 1lt with Z51 and magnetic ride for less than $67, 000 plus tax. It’s the best performance deal on the planet.
