It's different in the US. The GT500 is a little over $70k. Which is on par with either: 2LT with maybe 1 or 2 options or 1LT with healthy amount of options - z51, mag ride, etc. The 2LT would honestly be better to live with but I'd still go with 1LT with lots options if I was constrained by a 70k budget.

Thank you for your comprehensive and very helpful discourse on the 2LT C8 option. I have an order in for a C8 with a local dealer and have been trying to determine which options - if any - I should select. Even though I placed my deposit one year ago, I have been told that my car will be built as a 2021 and since no one knows when delivery will actually take place, I am simply waiting my turn to specify my new car details when my order is taken (delivery in early 2021 perhaps?). My preliminary choices include the 2LT model with the new flare silver color, the grey GT1 seats, edge red engine cover and brake calipers, performance exhaust, body color accents, front lift/cameras, and floor mats. I think the stock wheel's color goes great with the new body color. Thanks again and perhaps in about 6 months I should be riding in style!

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.

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.

First, from 1972 throuh 1976 I put 93,000 miles on a mid-engine sports car with tremendous visibility. However it certainly is not an apples to apples comparison as the 1972, although new was a VW-Porsche, known as a Porsche in this country. Targa roof and everything and fun to drive. Just in no way, the same car. I'm adjusting so that I use my actual mirror quite a bit of the time. Part of the reason that I can do it is my High Wing Spoiler, along with, "no-spoiler option," are easier to see out of with the Z51 option package which includes the Z51 Spoiler as "252" might say. Good content with clear voice, thus far. AF

It is not a huge amount of lift but I have a very steep curb on my driveway that I don’t believe the car will clear without this option. My son has an M3 coupe and if he wants to pull in my driveway he must attack from a very hard angle. Don’t want to be doing that every time I pull in my own driveway.

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...

In the interior the GT1 see seats come with heat and ventilation. The PDR is standard with the 2LT and above.

1LT is the way to go , I don’t need more camera and navigation, 1LT are still leather and stitched, got a rearview camera, thats plenty.

As for the front lift if you’re not sure about the front clearance, just turn around.

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!

I first looked at the one LT 1 and then when I seen you could not get heated cooled seats are automatically set my mind on the LT 2 . and I’ve had two convertibles in the past but really with the way the top comes off I find that’s plenty of open top driving for me. and the difference in the cost actually absorbs the cost of what the LT2 package is. And I would definitely would add the front spoiler rising feature.So I basically totally agree with the recommendations. Now I just need to wait for the market to settle down to where a person can get one of these without getting bent over by the dealer with a extremely ridiculous markup.

The Z51 package and the HTC for me are much better options to spend money on than upgraded interior options. The only thing for me that I miss is the heads up display.

Yeah the C7 was a shit interior but your 1LT is way down on features and options.. That's the main point of the option packages(1lt 2lt 3lt) not interior quality? That's never been the goal, the 3LT just adds some more leather.

I like that GM is trickling down a lot of their features from Cadillac and the new generation Silverado/Sierra to this Corvette. The rear view camera mirror, larger heads up display, and surround view angles of the vehicle are just some of the many cool things they’re doing that’s different from the competitors. I’ve actually been looking to buy a new generation Silverado to replace my old one, and so I’m a bit familiar with all the latest tech GM has been offering, just by the research I’ve done on the new truck. The only thing I wish they would change is the interior to compete with RAM’s beautiful new interior (which I hear that a mid-model refresh could be coming soon to even the playing field with RAM). It’s clear that GM can make a really nice interior, given the new Corvette and upcoming Tahoe/Suburban models, so I’m curious to see what they’ll do for the Silverado/Sierra. Not to get too off topic though - I wanted to answer your question and say that I would probably go with a 2LT myself. Luxury is not as big of a deal for me in a sports car, but more so the thrill and experience of the drive. I’d rather spend the extra money on exterior packages and other modifications to make the car that much cooler to drive. Though I agree, some of the interior features that come with the 2LT are definitely a must, and I think from a daily driving perspective, being able to see what’s around you is very important. Personally, I think if I were to buy a C8 someday, it would most likely be a 2LT of the Z06 variant. I can only imagine what that car’s going to be like.... whew.

I agree with you on the Ram interior vs. the Silverado. The Ram looks better with the huge screen available. The new Escalades screen looks awesome though. Hopefully we'll see that in more GM vehicles soon. I'm not big on luxury features on a sports car either. That's why I don't strongly recommend the 3LT trim level. I'd even be fine without the heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel. I just really like the features that add to the drivability or fun factor of the car 👍🏻

I know there's a way to eliminate blind spots by simply pushing out both of your side mirrors until you can barely see the sides of your car. And then position your rear view mirror more to view the left hand side of the back view. It literally eliminated my blind spots in my 2016 Shelby Mustang GT350r

For the budget minded people like me, well I guess and my son who put this in our 2010 Highlander, the cheap China Amazon rearview cameras mirrors are probably not even 100 bucks or so and we love them. Don’t have any new cars with backup cameras, and these good enough mirror camera combinations also act as a dash cam pointing forward as well. Very much worth the $80 to $100. But yeah, backing up an Aventador. You almost need someone to go stand outside and spot even with the back up camera. I almost ran over the Keno twins from antiques roadshow when I was backing one up. Lol. Yeah an outside of the cheap mirror camera dash cam things, some of my cars I’ve also put very affordable dash cams in which have GPS. So the data logger GPS you can see where you’re at how fast you’re going stuff like that. I have six cameras in one of my cars and, if you do it affordably it can be 200 bucks. Some of my dash cams also are powered on 100% of the time and will record any motion or sound or detected force. I don’t even see my dash cams are not in the line of sight they are behind the rearview mirror, or on the back windows. The front end lift should be made available as an individually added item in my opinion. For me I don’t care about infotainment. I listen to spoken word, podcasts, and audiobooks and I can do that with an ear buds. I have your garage door. For me, I think I could splurge on magneto, rheological, suspension, limited, slip differential, and I would like light/tan seats, because I have retina vision problems in low contrast situations. Going the other direction I would actually like a decontented Corvette perhaps even with a turbo six cylinder if it lowered the price, I’d be that much happier.

I understand why people want the highest trim level for more features, performance, sportier aggressive look. They're also a lot of C8 Corvette owners that utilize it as a weekend car and I feel Chevy tried to satisfy everyone. If you think about the base 1LT trim level (lets say red car with beige interior), it's a mid-end luxury sports car (mid-end luxury in-terms of 2020 Chevy Impala Premier luxury). A senior citizen doesn't have to worry about performance because no average Honda Civic can out perform the C8, not even a base Ford Mustang GT. If you go the highest trim with all the bells and whistles, you get a sports package that dresses up the C8 (2LT, 3LT). With the early C8 aftermarket in twin turbo kits, exhaust upgrades, ECU tuning, people are pushing the C8 to its limits and it has too much instant torque. The Z06 and ZR1 models hadn't even came out yet.
