Z51 and MSRC/PTM for me!

P.S. - I'll pass on the hideous Z51 badge.

I would absolutely get the Z51 package but pass on the magnetic ride set up. For me that's just one more electronic gremlin that will cost more money than it's worth when it's time to replace the shocks down the road. As for me...I'm thinking M7, 2LT, Z51 (rear wing delete) black wheel package with Laguna Blue or Lime Rock Green. Sport Seats IF they really are more than just an appearance upgrade. Right now other than the harness strap slots they look to be just a cosmetic upgrade. Time will tell. :yesnod:

No. I think automatic transmission has also cooling in any case.

I'm leaning very heavily towards getting it since it sounds pretty awesome, but my decision ultimately depends on both owner feedback and finalized pricing.

And I'm not going to buy the first model year, so I have a long time to make a decision... Hell, I'm not even sure if I'm going to get a C7 yet, heh.

I have yet to see any evidence that the rear vents are deleted on a non Z51 car... I would actually like to see a car without the vents because it's a little "busy" in that area anyways

2LT, Z51 sans spoiler. Or just hold out for the Z06

I won't be buying a new C7 until we start talking about INVOICE pricing, not MSRP. This is a depreciating asset, and if the 2015 or 2016 cars get big improvements (think Z power or DSG), 2014 Vettes will drop value even quicker. That may be a good time to buy a low mileage 2014 Z51. Keep me in mind if you buy a '14 Z51 and then want to trade up to a '15 Z06!

I wouldn't even consider it without the Z51 and magnetic ride control. The decision is going to be on the leather interior package and infotainment stuff, and the seats. I will have to sit and ride in each seat.

Thanks for the reply. As a "ball park" figure, that's a pretty hefty add-in (though I understand a lot of more frisky drivers will want it). I have something similar on my Z but it was nowhere near that estimate.

What is included on you Z? is it comparable?

Must have for me.

Bigger brakes & wheels alone is worth the package. But the other goodies are nice add ons!



P.S. I'll pass on any badge. They all look cheesy!

Likely nowhere near what functionality the Corvette provides.

And, of course, the button to turn on Sports mode and off again.

I'm not sure why they bothered to have a non-Z51 car...

Z51 with MR.

If possible I want a Delete Kit for all of the power accessories, especially on the seats.
I have yet to own a vehicle that I've enjoyed Powered Seats on.

Can probably get the car down around 3200 easy enough with all that power garbage taken off the car. I want a Stripper Vette with bigger brakes and a rear swaybar.

I will definitely opt for the Z51 package as well. Not sure about the MRC but will probably go that route also once I've had a chance to check it out in person. I replaced my 08 Z51 suspension with Pfadt coilovers about 4 years ago and have loved the ability to adjust the suspension depending on the type of driving I'm doing. Commuting as a daily driver, autocross, track days, etc.

get 1lt, and just add that stuff yourself... would save a ton of money I'm sure

I forgot about the bigger wheels... That's one part of the Z51 package that I'm not thrilled with. I hope there's a way to get the package with the standard sized wheels. 20s do not belong on a Corvette...

But the more I think of it, the more I realize how expensive a Vette with the configuration I'll probably want is going to be, heh. I want Z51, at least the 2LT trim, nav, hopefully a DCT if they offer that later, otherwise probably an auto... I hope I can drive out with all that in a couple years for under $65K.

To each his own I suppose but those 20" wheels just don't look good on a vette. I would have to stick with the non-Z51. Don't need big heavy brakes either as I only drag race. That's just added weight.

65k is what I'm assuming a 2LT Z51 will go for, but I can't wait to actually see some pricing.

Badge?! Badge?! Badge?! There's no stinkin Z51 badge. What did I miss? :confused2:
