You ain't driven a C8 yet. Blind Spots are killer and worse than in the McLaren 570s and Ferrari 488.

Looks good to me. Nice "purist" interior.
2LT or 3LT? I don't need no interior that's foofed up like a goll-danged Barbie Doll.

Thanks for this, the 1lt interior is much nicer than I had imagined. But the gap on those non-Z51 wheels...yikes!

There won't be any discerning difference in 1lt vs 2lt interiors. The difference is in what's featured in 2lt, upgrades off camera. The body is certainly sprung up in the air !!

There are some discernible differences, actually. The 1LT is fantastic, but the quality of the trim in the 2LT is definitely a step up in appearance and feel. And the 3LT is even better. That said, the 1LT is no slouch at all.

Is the 3LT interior the same Napa leather as the 2LT has on the wheel/console, with just more of it? Or is the leather quality improved everywhere?

I want the 2LT just for the speaker grille inserts alone.

My 12c only has parking sensors. It's a PIA to reverse into spots.

I asked about the lining up of stitch lines like this example. These cars were all pre-production prototypes and was told by several of the GM people in blue shirts "there are 100s of small changes and quality fixes that will be in place by the time the test fleet rolls off the line".

I would have rather seen these pre-production prototypes with a variety of options at Corvettes at Carlisle versus what I originally heard was GM sending the 2 perfect ones in the glass showroom.

I see the mismatch and I hear the bitching but I've read where the C8 Corvette's interiors are being manufactured by a French company "Faurecia" who incidentally also manufactures interiors for Ferarri's , Lambo's and Bulgatti's. Maybe their stitching isn't perfect either? Who would know?

Surprised that the wireless charging is present, but I guess non-functional. Was happy to see how they handled the spacers for the unavailable heated/cooled seats.

Well it is a pre-production car. I'd be surprised if the production cars have that problem.

Exactly! That is a very cool, high quality looking interior indeed.
You could bend over for 2 or 3 times as much on a 992 and get this:
