Default 1LZ limited to a few %?

Yesterday, on another forum, I read that only a very few ZO6's will be 1LZ configured. Can anyone comment on this? I'm #1 on my dealer's list, but want a 1LZ car. Hoping to get an early production car, but that may not happen if 1LZ are severly limited as they said.

Now the 1LZ is the optioned out car, with the HUD, NAV, etc... right?

1LZ is Z06 lite. All the fun but half the calories. 2LZ is the loaded model.

HUD is standard on both models.

AIM-7 optional-DOD model only
AIM-9 optional-DOD model only
AIM-120 optional-DOD model only
AGM-88 optional-DOD model only

1LZ is your basic stuff everybody wants the 2LZ is the woofy stuff your may want but don't need on a track car.

You can't order the 2LZ without the 1LZ...

So if it's true that only a small % will have the 1LZ then an even smaller % will have the 2LZ...does that make sense. NO!

It does not make sense that 1LZ may be constrained. 70% of the new Zs are to be this basic package. If there are constraints, it will be on the heavily optioned 2LZ.

I have heard this as well. AND it would really suck! I do not want the heated seats, side airbags and telecoping wheel. I am #4 on a big dealer list (top 3) putting my money down almost a year ago.

Man, if i sit there and get passed over every week

The reason it would be constrained is simple ---- $$$$$

If I have to to get a car, I will probably go 2LZ

I was wondering if that was going to happen at the start of production (to maximize profit for GM), since they did a similar thing with the regular C6 (only 1SB's were made at the start).

2LZ is an option so why wouldn't you be able to order as you want it? No different than 1SB.

Exactly right. The 1LZ option doesn't affect the 2LZ, different radio, door panels, seats tracks, mirrors (XM ant. in Mirrors) They are going to make what is most ordered. Its just like 1SX, 1SA or 1SB. The 1LZ doesn't affect the 2LZ. Its marketing or just plain not enough supply of what makes up the 1LZ over the 2LZ.

We will all find out soon. I'm not guessing it's too stressing. Getting the new Z06 will be a blessing. This cat doesn't need the all dressing.

"1LZ is Z06 lite". I like that quote, in fact that is my vanity plate on my 2004 Z06 no option torch red/black. "Z06-LITE"

Dealers will order most cars for the lot with 2LZ to scrape out that little extra profit. I'd guess the package will be around $3k compared to the coupe packages. I'd have to get the XM though. O&A Party Rock!

From What I recall reading here on the forum is that the difference in weight is 12 pounds for the complete option package..the equivalent of two gallons of fuel... so the options add little to the weight of the car IMHO

Default C6 Z06

Can anyone tell me what they think will be the top 3 most popular ordered colors of the new Z06.

Also, which route sounds more popular to go on the wheel options..polished or not polished if the owner wants to ultimately have the wheels chrome plated.

Thanks,

Ralph White

I would have to get the 2LZ package cause I'm not a very good driver and I need to have as many airbags as possible.

Where did you hear 12lbs? Then it would not bother me so much.

Most of the early cars will be 2LZ! Others may be constrained. GM and Dealers make more on fully optioned cars and the factories usually start out attempting to make loaded cars to get any problems out. We may not like it but that is the way it is. Therefore, my two on order are 2LZ!

Default 12Lbs isn't the issue

It's the hassle & outrage of gutting an expensive, complex, more wired, and heavier interior out of the car.

2 reasons as set forth above:

(1) Experience for the line fully installing everything--on the job training.....fewer chances of 'mistakes' if 'everything' goes in..

(2) PROFIT $$$...more profit in the fully loaded package for GM and a little more for the dealer. Bulid time on the line is the same....they pay a few hundred...ok maybe a $1000-1500 wholesale for all the extra do dads going into the loaded package but will charge $5000 more for it...you do the math.... (but see reason #1-also important)
