C8 Corvette - 1, 2 or 3 LT. Which One Is Perfect For YOU!?

[@SQTierHog]

K.I.S.S., haven't heard that in a long time! Kudos to this young lady, not downplaying a 1LT or 2 LT, she's keeping it simple all right! Bravo!

[@MVF2024]

I stopped in there this past year and Sue Ann was very nice and informative. I enjoyed browsing and dreaming about when my C8 will finally be ready…

[@brandonlovestech454]

I’m so glad I went all out with the 3LT and front lift. The car feels like so luxurious!

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yes. I do gotta admit, I wish I would have done the 3LT.

[@lauriekeiski7121]

I’ve had a LT3 HTC for a month. The rear cross traffic warning already prevented an accident backing out of my drive which has a street intersection to my right. Even with camera mirror, there is a serious blind spot to the right rear. I’ve been driving for 70 years and well understand old school driving. That said, I’ve never owned a car with such a bad blind spot. That said this is a wonderful drive and Chevy should be rightfully proud.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

You are 100% correct. The blind spot in this car is massive. It’s crazy. And like you, it’s great to have when backing out of your driveway. Definitely a big help for me.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Awesome video. Always great to see these comparisons like this. 👍👍

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Agreed. And SuAnne is really good. Knows her stuff.

[@craigthescott5074]

I ended up getting a 1LT so I could get a HTC and Z51. The 1LT is more than enough for me the only thing I missed was the heads up display and the garage door opener button on the sun visor.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

It’s funny, I always wanted the HUD, then I got it and rarely even pay attention to it. 🤷‍♂️ Congrats on the car.

[@craigthescott5074]

@@Phuong_Nguyen_ HTC is a hard top convertible, 1 Lt stereo is great. It’s all BOSE. For me the convertible looks more exotic with the top up or down. The drawback is you can’t see the engine. But engine isn’t much to look at stock.

[@Phuong_Nguyen_]

@@craigthescott5074 the dealerships are dropping the price so much lately. Probably because the manufacture overproduced them. If it drops below msrp, I may get one. Is the z51 a must? What comes with it?

[@10SecondZ06]

Great video! She did great too. All 3 options are nice but for me, I always go all out and get every option. If I can’t afford all options, I just wait and buy when I can. I enjoy the extra options, never have the regret later on that I wish I got a particular option that can’t be added later, and having all options makes my cars standout and much easier to sell later, if I ever choose to sell. I’ll definitely be getting every option with competition seats, hopefully the Z06 if my allocation ever comes to life. Sucks because I’m number 7 at my dealership so it will still be awhile, and that’s and if it ever happens.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Can’t wait for you to get the Z06!! I definitely agree on getting everything you want. I regret not doing the 3 LT. I really wanted that yellow stitching. Lol

[@kerry_glock]

IMO, if you have the money, I recommend the 2LT. I like the “additional bells & whistles”/features you get. One “Big Thing” for me was that I wanted the Heads Up Display. I might have considered a 1LT if the “HUD” was an option. I also wanted the GT2 Seats but, you must have 2LT or 3LT in order to put those seats in your build. For the Front Lift, it requires 2LT or 3 LT. I’m not sure about the 23s if you can get it now with a 1LT. As to 3LT, you pay around an additional $4,000 for 3 items above the 2LT. You get the GT2 Seats and you get Custom Leather and Microfiber materials. I’m not a fan of suede or Alcantara material, or paying $4,000. So clearly, I am for the 2LT and all that it offers. Thanks SueAnne and Jason for the Vlog

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I chose the 2LT even though I REALLY wanted the yellow stitching but yeah, I went 2LT simply because I just couldn’t justify the extra $. I did get the GT2 seats as well. They just look so good!

[@craigthescott5074]

@@FrontSeatDriver yes I agree totally, I had to get a 1LT because I got the Z51 and HTC. I wish now I would have got the 2LT. The 1LT seats work fine for me but the heads up display and garage door remote in the visor are the two big things for me. And you get more speakers with the 2LT. I may just have Chevy install more speakers and a garage door opener visor.

Me too man! Had a great time when you were here. Definitely low on inventory. I think people have bought cars hoping to make a ton of cash from used car dealers and those days are over so they’re holding for the moment. I know they’re making offers on new cars but at reasonable prices.

[@jaekdagr8]

I bought a Black 2023 1LT it has adrenaline red seats so the red stitching came standard. I also own a C7 so I'm used to the blind spots so the lack of the camera rear view mirror doesn't bother me. I'm satisfied with my "budget build" ❤

[@blazenamber9176]

1lt is perfect for me, all black and clean, not too busy.

[@douglashammon1]

The only reason I was going to go 3LT was I wanted two tone black and red seats, but not the red on the console, dash and doors, as I thought it was too much red. But I cannot see spending $4k to "delete" red for black (which should be cheaper anyway) and the only gain would be some additional red stitching.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yeah, that’s a bit pricey for the change.

[@petercarey6883]

Great video Jason and excellent topic for SueAnn to discuss. I like how she was comparing a 1LT to a 3LT in that it helps support the idea, or at least my idea, of going down the middle if you will in many things, but in this case how can you go wrong with choosing a 2LT optioned car. Early on she mentioned the HUD units. While I was being instructed for driving on the track my instructor told me bury the HUD unit in that he viewed it as a distraction, which in fact it is while on the track. There are other things to keep your eyes on and your ears open to. Continuing on, I'm always amazed at how guys like yourself by doing just a walkabout can identify what option package a C8 has. To me it's mind bogglingly. I can do it with the C6's and older generations, but once the C7 came on the scene I found I couldn't do it and now with the C8's I'm lost in space. Maybe if I owned a C7, which I'd still love to have, would improve my ability and I suppose if I owned a C8 I'd be a lot more aware of as well. But I don't see a C8 in my future, but boy would I love to have a C7 manual, especially a ZO6, but that's pushing my dream bubble a bit. So a GS or even a base model would make me a happy camper. Last but least, I appreciate how SueAnne talks slow and distinctly, and you let her talk pretty much without interruption except for suitable questions. Kudos to the both of you on this video. 👍👍 Don't get used to my short comments here. I have a reputation to maintain being "The Man of Few Words." 🤣 Save the Wave 🙋‍♂

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Lol. Thanks for your reply. I love the long replies. You put a lot of thought into them! It’s funny what you said about the HUD, I actually never use it. I literally look right through it. I tend to forget it’s even there. I’m more focused on the road. If you look at these cars often enough you begin to remember the differences in the trim levels. Even if you have a really terrible memory like I do. Lol Always good to hear from you, Peter! Have a great weekend!

[@dlg5485]

I'll definitely go with the 2LT because I'm not a fan of the suede microfiber material. It will look nice for a while, but it does not wear well over time. It's especially bad on the steering wheel and seats which are major wear points, so will quickly begin to look worn. Everything else that matters is available on the 2LT.

Sorta. On the GT 2 seats the inserts are Napa but the bolsters are Mulan. It’s funny you asked. I have a 2LT and actually looked at my seats today. My Z06 is supposedly all Napa leather but to be honest, I don’t even notice a difference when I’m in them. The only thing that really gets my attention is the microfiber suede. Not saying it’s better either, just obviously different from leather.

The rear vision on the C8 through the back window in my opinion is poor so I’d want the rear camera. Just personal preference. Plus the front cameras are a nice benefit when I pull into my garage.
