Default 1 option you would add if you could

If I could add 1 option , It would be a digital speedometer tied into the trim by the glove box for the passenger . Something subtle giving the passenger there own view of how quickly the car accelerates..Because the car is so smooth you dont realize how quickly the digits fly by

If it were available, I would have like red mist stitching. Or the ability to play high resolution audio files.

But as it is, (2lt jet black, Z51, Red mist, HTC, black roof and nacelles mirrors and wing, GT2 microfiber seats and steering wheel, and black wheels, it's pretty perfect.

An option I should have ordered is the CF interior parts. (yes an can still do it but it's a lot more expensive)

Air conditioner delete, I just don't like AC and just can't see paying for it or lugging it around.

So you must like sweating your ***** off? My C7 coupe was practically undrivable in summer with the AC off, and since I have a C8 HTC it's at least got some air flow with the top down.

Last thing I want is for my wife to see how fast I'm going.

I'll agree with those who said a manual tranny, but since that's not going to happen, I'll say more interior choices on the 2LT. I would have gone for black with red stitching, but not willing to spend the $$ for the 3LT.
