With many stating that the C8 has poor rear viewing , you would think GM would offer the HD rearview mirror as a stand alone option for the 1LT since safety is always paramount ! Maybe just their way of getting buyers to go up to the next level ... Your thoughts please ...
REARVIEW MIRROR

^^^^^ great story...
To the OP, yes I wish the mirror was a stand alone option. No, I will not spend 10K plus tax for the 2LT...

IMO the 2LT is well worth the money. Look at all you get!
Worth it to some. Not worth, needed or desired to others...

I'm not a C8 owner but I agree the mirror should be a stand alone option. As for the cost of the 2LT, yes lots of bells and whistles, and some love it, others not so much. There are a few items I would do without but it comes as a complete package and I feel that paying for something you don't want just isn't something I want to do.
I agree the HD Rearview mirror should come as an option and buyer doesn't have to buy a 2LT just to get it. I am sure GM was aware of this safety issue. That said, when I order my 2021 I intend to buy the 2 LT as it has the options I desire.
I tried driving with the rearview camera on and rearview camera off, and now I don't feel comfortable driving without the rearview camera being on.
It covers most of your blind spot areas in the back and should have been included standard in the LT1 trim as standard. That being said LT2 is still worth it in my opinion with these heavily used features: + Plus available additional color option and GT2 seats.
Head-Up Display
Heated and Vented Seats
Bose Performance Series 14-Speaker Audio System
Performance Data Recorder (used as an always on system for recording daily driving) + Vehicle location GPS tracking
Universal Home Remote Sun Visor
Power-Folding Mirrors
Rear Camera Mirror† – Coupe
Memory Package - Good for auto memory exit seat position and entry position - makes it easier to get in and out of the car.
Curb View Camera†
Side Blind Zone Alert†
Rear Cross Traffic Alert†

I find it funny that it is included as standard equipment on the 1LT Convertible and not the 1LT Coupe.
I'm already making 84 E-Z payments. The extra $11300 will turn that into 96 drawn out won't pay it off before I die payments...
As do I. One model out of 6 doesn't have it.
I like the 2LT package I just don't think it's worth an extra $10000, and a 2022 Z06 is going to be hard to resist so 1.2 summers of 1LT.
Do you know how much a package like this cost on other car brands like a Porsche? (About twice the cost for each option)
I think a C8 Z06 with a decent set of options will cost north of 135K. If you are spending that kind of money, I think a 2LT should be a minimum spec.
Will upgrade to C8 Z06 depending on the performance delta.

I called a GM USA number this morning and spoke to Margaret (very nice lady) and expressed my concerns about why the rearview mirror camera is not available on the 1LT Coupe as a stand alone option and gave her all my contact info so hopefully somebody will at least have this brought to their attention as this is deffinetly a safety issue. I would love to hear their reply on this matter. Maybe this will become an option for people placing a 2021 order... Just trying to help !
Good for you. In a perfect manufacturing world, you would be able to order each option individually....

No. It's the back up camera
Wishful thinking, I kinda figured when it didn't say new beside it.
I bought that Carplay2Air adapter to get wireless CarPlay. I tested it on my daughters 2018 Kona, works great. I hope it has no issues working with the Vette.
