Losing all of my money!!
Just wanted to thank this website for causing me to lose another $10,000!!! I was planning on ordering a 1LT Z51 with very little extra options, but that didn't last for very long....
Soon I heard about how good the Magnetic Selective Ride Control was and that Ferrari even uses it...there goes $1,800. Then I heard about how you couldn't live with all of the extra cool technology and features in the 2LT....there goes $4,200. Then I heard that the Carbon Fiber Interior Trim was stunning....there goes $995. I think you get the point. I love this site though, it has gotten me so excited for this car and has convinced me to splurge a little bit in life. I wouldn't have it any other way So what was the point of this thread? No idea

Congrats on deciding to splurge lol. I started like that as well thinking I'd only need/want a base 1LT. One thing I would suggest to add to your options is the upgraded exhaust. It's something I did not order and really wish I did now. The size, style and finish alone is worth it to me, looks much better.

Yeah the performance exhaust was one of the few options that I knew was a "must have" from the start, it sounds incredible for a stock exhaust system. I knew that I had to have the Z51 package as well, especially for just $2,800. I would've bought the Z51 package just for the wheels alone.

Yea, I decided to just get the 3LT with the interior package, exhaust performance, mag ride and optional tops, painted calipers.
Didn't even try to start low...go big or go home. |

Nate GM,
Very sorry to hear what has happened to your funds. I share your pain. I'm thinking of naming my Stingray, when it arrives, Houdini. It's made all of my money disappear! |
