Well, I presume you already know what you get with it, right - i.e. nicer wheels, heat exchangers, dry sump, mag ride/PTM, e-diff, brakes, tires, etc.
So, are those items important to you enough for 2.8 k or not? If so, get them; if not, don't.

I think the Mag Ride is not included w Z51. If it was that would literally be the deal of the century.

All the nice stats introduced this past week from Virginia Speedway were truly impressive. They were achieved with a Z51 equiped car. If performance is important, I would not hedge a bet against it. Go for it!!! Plus the physical attributes of the car look better IMHO. If you dont do it...the odds are you will regret it. Good luck

You are KIDDING right???
Based on the equipment, many on this board were guessing between 5 and 8k for this option, and it's 2800 and you need to be sold on it???? Forget tracking the car as the reason, although thats a good one, looks, rims, resale, eLSD, coolers, IT"S AN EASY choice...

That option and all others will be 100% depreciated when you drive it off the lot.
Sorry to break it to you guys.

Z51 is a gateway option. Well worth it for what it is, but it's what it lets you get that is important. Spoiler, wheels, MSRC...

If that thought process matters to you (the future value vs. the current benefit/enjoyment) then why buy a Corvette at all? Simple buy a Honda Accord that costs way less and holds its value relatively well.
