Keep in mind that a regular Coupe 1LT with Z51 and NPP is $52,305 and a Z06 1LZ is $74,775 so the price of this package is a good value.

Mr. Wonderful

So basically this is a dress-up package for $3,300?

mcandrew67

and heads up display and red brakes (doesn't say if they are the larger Z brakes so I assume they are just painted)... the rest is cosmetic. BUT, you can't get heads up on a 1lt any other way unless you do it yourself.

I could buy a 1lt install heads up, powder-coated breaks and some stripes for way less than that...

Dave@Ciocca

Differential Cooler, Head Up Display, Red Painted Brake Calipers, Z06 tall spoiler plus the different colored headlights and the rest of the appearence package. Plus, some additional profit for GM which, I think we can all agree, would be nice to see!

mcandrew67

Damn, they left off the Z51 badges again

Not justifying the price because a $55k 1LT blows my mind, but keep in mind that Head Up display does require a different windshield. Just ask anyone who has added Head Up to a non Head Up equipped car.

No real Bang for your Buck.

That windshield is a GM only item and runs just under $1,000 according to my glass guy.

Pylons

but what does the std windshield cost? it's the difference that matters here (in evaluating the "value" of the package)

z51 pkg.
spoiler
cooler
hud
more then dress up.

" Focus on Lightweight " I think GM is out of focus on this one. The only thing that makes it lightweight is the 1LT package! I'm all for GM making money but not doing it using smoke and mirrors. They can keep their skull stickers. This package is laughable.

Greg,
You should know that you really don't need the special windshield. Many owners have retrofitted HUD without the windshield and it works just fine. I'm sure the windshield offers some value but it's not that you must have it for HUD to work.

Pylons

well, on second thought, not so much in evaluating value, but in evaluating what it's costing GM

silly packagage, imo...at least named the way it is

not08crmanymore

correct.

Silver99v6

I've been told that the non HUD windshield works fine except for in very bright, direct, sunlight.

I think its a cool idea, but in the long run it won't be a success. GM should have tried to make the car more competition oriented. Like what Ford did with the Cobra R. Take out all non-necessary items to make the car lighter. Take the radio, speakers and ac out instead of giving us red brakes. No one that actually races their car cares what color the calipers are. However, excluding the AC and stereo will increase performance and decrease costs. Just my 2 cents.

Let's see some pics! I would think if there was going to be a comp. performance car it would come loaded with strictly performance options like cold air, big brakes, coolers, no HUD, suspension upgrades, engine mods, wide body with big wheels and sticky non-runflats leaving off the stuff that adds no performance.

Coupe $55,655
$52,305 coupe with Z51 and NPP

QX1 = $ 395

So what do you get for $2,955?

It is a good way to get factory upgrades in one package.

AirBusPilot

Competition "Poser" Corvette, more accurately. And I'd bet anything this package was put together by the marketing team with zero input from engineering.

A real competition package would include the following:

1LT
Z06 suspension
Z06 brakes
Z06 fender flares (all fiberglass)
Engine/tranny coolers
Summer ultra hipo tires
Performance exhaust

This is how they did it in the 1960's when they took this **** seriously.

I don't doubt they will sell, the corvette crowd (unfortunately) is dominated by some of the most uneducated car people I've ever met, and that same bunch loves stickers and skin deep "performance".
