I all most went the 3LT route, I went with Black interior, I almost went with the Brownstone, but I went the 2LT route + Nav, I bet the Brownstone looks great with your Green vette. Its a good combination .

Depends...are you going to trade it in in a couple of years? then No...

Are you going to keep it long time? then Yes, without a doubt.

I'll likely keep it until the C8s come out (4-5 years). Why is the 3LT worth the extra $$ in the long run?

I just can't think of enough reasons to justify the PDR especially not on the track. Am I missing something or is there some unrealized value for this package?

If you don't find value in the PDR you'll most likely find the nav option to be considerably overpriced. Still, even though it may be overpriced, I'd rather pay the $1795 than not have navigation in my Stingray.

I have 2LT gray interior and didn't want the distraction and reflection of the light colored dash piece.

Well, there is definitely a huge difference in the interior of the 2LT and 3LT...one is real leather, which looks and smells like real leather, the other is a pale imitation....I've seen both side by side and there is no comparison...those that say otherwise are in denial .... the reason to spend the extra money on the 3LT if you are going to keep her for a while is that you will get to enjoy that first class interior long enough to make the price difference worth it....If you're just going to flog it for a couple of years and trade it in, spend the money on something else...all this imho...

I actually prefer the look of the 2LT Kalahari interior on my black vert over the look of the 3LT...just ordered the car with Nav. and saved a lot of cash

Warranty?

I don't even have a C7 (C6 GS Conv 6 MT) but one deciding factor was the umbrella protection offered by the factory warranty vs the aftermarket one year.....worth a thought

If you are familiar with the C6 levels:
C6 3LT = C7 2LT
C6 4LT = C7 3LT

So basically C7 3LT is an upgraded interior in materials quality. Also some colors show more color on the dash on 3LT, especially Kalahari.

The car I bought off the dealer's lot was a 3LT Kalahari and I'm glad it was. I doubt I'd have ordered 3LT (just as I never considered 4LT in my C6s) and would have missed the quality

As for me, the 3LT is not worth it. And almost 1800 for a Nav, when you your phone does a better job anyway. Come on chevy, for real?

It's not just Chevy, most manufacturers charge too much for navigation.
