No doubt Eric

Unfortunately the entire Internet is full of "morons", it is not unique to this forum...

BTW, for anyone who cares, I purchased a White Z51 3LT Convertible with a black interior...because that was the car on the showroom floor with 5 miles on the odometer and that is the one I wanted...complete with chrome wheels! Oh no! A Z51 WITHOUT black wheels! Shame on me...

I ordered a base CGM coupe with black interior. So I guess the angry guy can add me to his moron list.

Sometimes I think it is not necessarily owning the upgrading options, but is rather the idea of owning the upgrading options for buyers such as the OP's example. If you want and can afford the extra options, great - get them! I can understand and appreciate the want and/or need for additional options but have to imagine there are people such as myself who have selected a 1LT package simply because it works for our level of comfort and driving style. To each their own

You never really know a persons circumstances. #1 rule...it's his $$$, no mine.

He could have bought the '14 nearly a year ago when Z51 was not available. Made him a rock star during that time.

One member here sold his 14, broke even, and moved on to a 15 order. All kinds of circumstances. With 37,288 in confirmed sales for the '14, it boils down to 37,288 stories for that year, and more stories to be told.

Seems everyone with a 3lt black now has their panties in a bunch.

Unless you traded from a 2lt to a 3lt the statement doesn't apply to you.


Enjoy your cars.

I know several that got a 3LT not for the color difference but the smell and feel of the napa leather... and yes one got it in black. I would rather spend my coin on something else which is why I got a 2LT but sitting in their 3LT... there is a subtle difference that some would appreciate.

I think you need to re-read the OP's original post. The guy that traded in his non Z51 2Lt, traded it in for a non Z51 3LT.

I don't think he has "***** envy" over the Z51.

I also prefer solid one color interiors. Not ones that look like recycled Ronald McDonald and Capitan Kangaroo outfits.

My C5 had the solid black interior as does my C6 Z06.

I was happy with the 2LT interior until my drivers seat leather started to delaminate, and last night noticed the passenger seat is also starting. Seems the finished facing is separating from the backing. Going to the dealer tomorrow to start a warranty claim. I will go the high end interior on the next car, even though black doesn't present the high end look many crave, looks aren't everything.

Mine's a 2lt. No remorse about not shelling out thousands of $$$ more for the 3lt. I don't stare at my interior while driving anyway.

There are WAY TO MANY "Corvette Snobs" here.
Corvette is a blue collar type car , snobs are you kidding me. Try old men in white tennis shoes and Levi shorts.
