Finally got my allocation

[typer100]

Finally got the call Friday. I have my appointment Monday afternoon. My original build when I've placed my deposit in 2021 was a 2LT coupe, Z51 with mag ride and lift kit. Back then, price was around 97K.
Same 2LT build is about 118K now, but unfortunately my fun car budget didn't follow the same curve...

So now, I have to settle for a 1LT coupe with Z51 and mag ride since lift kit is not available on 1LT.

Any advice/suggestion before Monday?

I'd seriously think about keeping the two LT and dumping the z51

To further my argument, yes you won't get the eDif but you can add to the car by getting the aftermarket exhaust etc

Second that

Second that

I Agree! Enjoy the extra features and comforts of a 2LT. You can still add the performance exhaust if you wish.

There are lots of nice C8s out there that people will need to trade in as their Z06 or ERay allocations come in.
You may want to think abouts slightly used, instead of giving up on the options you want.

 

[DenisC8]

must have options:
#1 Hard top convertible
#2 NPP exhaust
#3 2LT
#4 Z51 with mag-ride

if you can find a used C8 that is the right exterior and interior colour, consider buying that instead of a brand new 1lt coupe.

Not a must have, but certainly nice.

#2 NPP exhaust

A suitable exhaust just as good performance wise, can be added

#3 2LT

I agree with this. Almost none of this can be added later.

#4 Z51 with mag-ride

mag ride, perhaps, but aside from the e-dif virtually everything else can be added later

if you can find a used C8 that is the right exterior and interior colour, consider buying that instead of a brand new 1lt coupe.

This is certainly an option to consider.

The above just MHO of course
