What are the differences? 2019 Chevy corvette Trim levels explained. Stingray, Z51, Grand Sport, Z06

Buying a Corvette is a big investment. Unfortunately, most Chevy salesman don't like to sell Corvettes. Therefore, They don't know the product. Not all Corvette salesman drive corvettes. Are they really in the business to help you or help themselves? As an owner of a C7 Corvette, I am here to help you with your dream car. Before and AFTER the sale. My commission on a new C7 (not Zr1) is $100. You can rest assured I am not doing Corvette sales for the big commissions. LOL, My pay plan is based off MSRP sales or volume. Who buys at MSRP? no one... so I am here for the volume.

Same here. I always hear that the 2lt is the better option to go with. I really want a Z06 but they are hard to find.

[@mathhelpmadeeasy]

2LT is by far the best bang for your buck. You can add other OEM parts in the future if you are wanting upgrades. If you are on a budget, 2LT is the way to go. I got my 2015 stingray 2LT for around $38,000 with 44K miles in fantastic condition. The cars performance is tremendous for the price (granted I traded in a 2013 V6 mustang, so the power is way higher). It performs like a sports car that is $100k+

The seats are ventilated not a/c... best way to use them is to turn the air conditioning on and direct the air to the floor vents.. this helps the seats vent cooler air through them.

Hey Mike, you probably know this but when you showed the cargo shades on the 2LT, it's not necessary to slam the hatch down. It has that pull down feature that will gently close the lid quietly. I love this feature on my Corvette. Thanks for the info on the "T" differences. Very informative. 😎

@@ChevyDude in a TARGA top CORVETTE C7 how far u can lean down the seats ? this is a deal breaker to me.. ✅it checks the box of a daily driving car ✅ it checks as a groceries and on the go car as it has so much trunk room but what also makes it check as an EVERYTHING car if at least the passenger seat leans all the way down as this would be convenient to shift driving on road trips with a friend for example. ⚠don't mind this logic as this would be my only car and that's why i want it to check as many boxes as it can. Also don't mind my english its not my native language 😂

[@rudykadous4005]

Actually the ventilated seats are one of the best features on my car that I use quite frequently, I live in california tgats a good feature to have

[@oneofyaboys]

Im not sure if you touched on it, but isnt the Z06 body *a few inches wider than the base* ? I think the grand sport shares the z06 body as well....

[@whatsthatmeen]

Yea but i don’t feel like that’s an option... probably why he didn’t touch on it. That’s just standard for those models

Two thumbs up on the ventilated seats. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LearningFast]

I love the chrome rims. I know some people don’t like them but I think they look great.

[@hwingerrr5680]

Guys that like the chrome and silver probably associate the all black rims with spare tires. Back in the day when they had spare tires that is.

[@LearningFast]

H Wingerrr that is actually true. I think the black wheels look like spare wheels or the wheels off cop cars that were as cheap as possible.

For those who are not familiar with the Corvette family like me, I'm still confused with those lineups.

Probably would have been better on the 3LT to have a color other than black. I have a 2017 Z51 convertible, white with grey interior and it is really a nice looking combination.

Thank you for the amazing and detailed review...I will be getting a second a hand 2017 1LT in 2 days and the biggest feature I was worried about lacking was the heated/ventilated seats and I'm glad you said the ventilated seats are not up to expectations, which now makes me not feel so bad about 1LT...now the only thing I am unhappy about the 1LT is the sound system but I can easily get that upgraded at a local shop here. Thank you very much.

[@bigess]

How are you liking it?

[@cshinfo]

Hey. I’m thinking about getting a 1LT 2016 right now in 2023. How are you liking it and how much did you pay for it?? Mine will have 50K miles.

[@TheReapr]

@@cshinfo So far so good, I got mine at 19k, im at 35k now, got it for $40k at that time, think the prices have gone up now. The factory sound system is actually pretty good. It's got a lot of power and gets a lot of attention. No mechanical issues but some electrical issues that have come up, but I'm a DIY guy so I replace the parts myself (windshield washer motor and blend door actuator for HVAC). It does not have the wireless Android Auto like the newer Chevy's have but it works good with the wire and the controls are quite intuitive. There were some upgrades on the 1LT from 2016 and up some additional added features you don't find on 2014 and 2015 models. It actually rides smoother than my Lexus IS250.

Aren’t there differences in the rear spoilers between the packages? There is also an 07 package that includes the level 3 spoiler and the carbon- ceramic brake package.
