Default If you had $7000, What would you...

If you had $7000 to spend above and beyond the base price of the non-Z51 coupe, what would you chose?

I am leaning towards 2LT, Painted Calipers and undecided on the rest.

What do you intend to do with the car? Will it be your daily driver? Will it ever see track time? Participate in autocross events? Any cross country trips?

I don't plan on taking it to the track or doing auto cross. It will be a daily driver during the nice months of the year.

I was just curious to what other people's thoughts are about the options that are offered while keeping the car around 60k.

I guess it is looking for thoughts on the best bang for the buck.

2LT Equipment Group $4,210
MYC Automatic Transmission $1,350
NPP Dual Mode Performance Exhaust $1,195

If you can go to 7,550, I'd add - UY4 Navigation System $795, since it's no longer CD based.

In the end, while you'll different opinions here, it's still your choice based on what works best for you

Good luck

So it seems like the consensus is that NPP is a worthwhile option?

I was on the fence with that one but I think I will add it.

You said it was going to be a daily driver then the 3LT option and that would be all.
NPP or calipers does nothing for your comfort. They can be painted later and the exhaust can also be change.
I know the 3LT option would mean coming up with about a $1000.00 more, but looking at a few years from now the resale value of a 3LT vs the other options would be a better choice.
This is my opinion of course, hopefully some of the other suggestions will help you decide what is best for you.
Good luck.

I think the magnetic ride is an important option and must have for C7 whether you track or not.

Since the OP limited this to Non-Z51 Cars its not an option.

I am leaning towards this setup along with the red calipers. I wish I could go all out and get it fully loaded but I am getting married in two months and weddings are not cheap...

Supercharger so it can have more power. Be the first on your block with a new C7 that really rocks!

500+ wasn't enough, so I ordered a supercharger to make it more exciting.
