I'm looking to order a 1 LT with Z 51, mag suspension and performance exhaust. The only thing that interests me on the 2 LT upgrade is the HUD. In your opinion, is it a true performance driving benefit worth the $ 4 K package price or just a "nice to have"?

if that's the only part of a 2LT pkg that you want, then no, it's not worth it...

You'll be sorry if you don't get it.

Have it on my vette and Camaro SS. Can't imagine driving without it once you have gotten used to it.

I would hate to drive a Vette without it after having it on my 04!
Don't have the C7 yet, but it will also have HUD.

I have mine off because I rarely use it, the reason why I went with the 2LT was the seats, Center Point, color choices and Enhanced Anti-Theft, HUD is just a bonus.

Heated and vented seats are a real plus on the 2LT.

Have it in our C5Z, had it on my C6 and will have it on my C7. I almost feel naked when I drive our Dodge 4x4 which doesn't have a HUD!

I think its not necessary now. the regular screen has all the info you need. I think a 1lt z51 npp is the way to go.

I went with 1LT and really like it. It is suprisingly nice, you wouldn't guess it from how many people have 2LT or 3LT. I had a 2LZ Z06 and a c6 3LT coupe and the 1LT is nicer, you just have fewer options like heads up. I personally wont miss heads up, its nice to have, but the new infotainment is so nice I'd rather look at that. For 4k I'd rather have other things.

My dad has a 3ZR Zr1 and both our interiors are black, I'd bet if someone sat in mine and didnt realize it wasnt real leather on the dash theyd think the c7s was nicer. JMO.



I went the exact way you are thinking. Cant beat it for 60k IMO.

I considered 1LT vs 2LT pretty hard when I bought mine and the HUD was a big part of that.

I see you are not considering NAV but the best part of the HUD is having driving directions projected onto it so you don't ever have to look down at the map.

Adjustable lumbar/bolsters and heated/cooled seats are worth the balance of the $4K upgrade IMO but I am really picky about being comfortable/well fitted in the car.

I love mine-it's cool that you don't have to look into the dash for important items.

Worth it, IMO, even if you have to save up a little longer to get it.

Worth the total cost of the 2LT in my opinion. I've never had a HUD before and debated on getting the 2LT with the HUD. I am so glad I did. If you like to drive it a little hard you for sure will need the HUD.

Isn't there a forum vendor that's doing installs of the HUD for the 1LT?

I will definitely say from my '01 and my father's XLR, having the HUD is such a nice feature that I miss it on our vehicles that don't have it. If the cost of having it installed after the fact is far enough away from the 2LT upgrade cost, you can consider that route.

Love it in my C5, had to have it in my 7.

Worth it! Especially if you plan to track you car. I think that someday soon, most vehicles will have HUD as a standard safety feature.

HogwildC7

Worth it but i wish i had an LT2, I think the full leather dash in black does not matter

I had a 1999, 2001, 2004, Vettes with HUD. I also had a Cadillac XLR with HUD. My 2007 has HUD. I would not buy a Corvette without it.

If you never had it, you won't miss it, but there is place that install them just like the factory.
Keep looking on the forum for installers.
