Default 2LZ vs 3LZ

Can someone tell me the difference with a 2007 3LZ that is all ebony interior vs a 2LZ. I'm looking at a 3lz for sale that a dealer has and I'm trying to see what the differences are. Thanks.

I just realized you said 07, I don't know if they had the leather package then so I may be mistaken. It is in the 08s. Sorry if I was incorrect.

If the car is a 2007, it doesn't have the #LZ package; that was first offered in 2008.

The sales may be thinking of the 3LT (which is offered on the Coupes/Verts) which is similar to the 2LZ in the Z06.

The 2007 Z06 has a 1LZ and a 2LZ option group. 3LZ was added in late2008.
Now, a 2LT in the C6 coupe is roughly equal to the 1LZ Z06 and 3LT in the coupe is equal to the 2LZ Z06. In 2008, the 4LT in the coupe is equal to the 3LZ. Why couldn't Chevy just standardize it, and don't ask about the 2005 option groups!

To determine a 2LZ from a 1LZ their are several options. The quick way is to look for heated seat switches next to the ash tray. 2LZ also includes side air bags, tilt/telescopic steering, 2-person memory, 6-way power driver and pass seats, dual zone climate control and a host of other nice options.

I have found that most dealers do not understand any of this and list 1LZ cars as "fully loaded".

Thanks. That's about exactly what I said to the salesman as I didn't think the 3lz was made until 2008. He's still telling me it's a 3lz. So he's having his "corvette guru" call me tomorrow. From the pics and description it sure looks like a 2lz vehicle. He doesnt have a window sticker.

The first year for the 3LZ was 2008.

I have 2 Z06s. One is a '07 with the 2LZ interior. As mentioned above, it was the 'highest level' of interior options in 2007. My other Z06 is a '08 with the 3LZ package.

The most significant difference in the 3LZ is a leather wrapped interior. Dash, Door pannels, console and seats are all leather. The 3LZ is the nicest interior ever offered in a Z06 but only became available in '08.

Your salesman does not know his Corvettes very well.

Good Luck

Default '08 Z06 with 2LZ - Leather?

I'm looking at an '08 Z06 that has the 2LZ option and the dealer says it has leather interior.

Is this possible?

thanks,

Mel

He probably doesn't know about the 3LZ option and thinks leather seats mean leather interior as that is the way most cars are treated. Leather wrapped means the seats, the dash, the center console lid and the upper door panels. The leather is stitched and the stitching breaks up the dash panel nicely to make it look more sophisticated. They probably could have done something similar with the 1LZ or 2LZ vinyl and made their dash more interesting.

I attached a picture of the Ebony and Linen Interior in my 08Z. The edges of each color are stitched and even when the interior is mono tone the same edges are stitched.

My guess is he is calling it leather interior because the seats are leather. If it is a 2 LZ, it doesnt have the leather option unless someone did it aftermarket.

Also, 06, 07,& 08 Z's do not have power passenger seat. Added in 2009.


BTW Bill Dearborn, nice interior

Default '08 2LZ interior

Ok, now I'm confused.

What I'm understanding here is that the original 2LZ option did NOT give you 'leather seats' or leather trim of any kind in the interior, correct?

Now the 3LZ option, which was only available in late '08 Z06's, gave you the leather wrapped dash, console, steering wheel and leather seats. Is this correct?

Attached are 2 photo of the car in question, which I have since discovered is a 2LZ car, but is stated to have 'leather' listed in the dealer's list of options.

The photos do appear to have stitching on the seats and dash. Any comments on this stitching? I just want to be sure I know exactly what I'm looking for with regards to the 2LZ/3LZ trims.


thank you,

Mel

Mel,

You are showing a 2LZ car. Someone also mentioned passenger power seats. This was only in later years. Not sure what exact year off hand. I have a 2LZ 08. All trim levels had leather. 3LZ just took it up a notch (I have seen awesome 2 tone combos such as ebony and linen shown a few posts back) with the dash, door panels, and center counsel. The stitching you see in on the bezel over the shiftier and radio. That is not dash stitching. All 08 models got that "leather" bezel. The dash is not stitched like a 3LZ would be.

Svre46....

I needed to know that the leather seats were in fact standard on the Z regardless of the trim level.

thanks for clearing this up.

As others have stated, you would notice the stitching on the actual dash panel, door panels and center console lid if it was a 3LZ. This is a 2LZ model. Think the corvette on the passenger side dash is also embroidered on a 3LZ and not plain like the picture. Also, all vettes have leather seats.

That photo is a 2LZ. I have an 07 2LZ (no nav though) and have the exact same seats in my car as shown in that pic. I have power drivers side seats, telescop tilt wheel, heated seats, but no passenger power-seats , as mentioned that was not available in 07
