Default 1Lt

If you bought a 1Lt, are you happy with that decision?
I'm thinking about a 1LT Automatic...guessing the painted roof won't happen...
Yes, it must be Red, and black interior.

I may have to order it. How long does that normally take?
seems I can get employee pricing... $57K reduced to $50K

I have 1LT and the only thing I really miss is cooled seating and HUD. Not worth the upgrade to me.

I ordered the 1lt because I chose black interior. Saw a 2lt in black and could not tell much difference just looking at the interior. I did get the painted roof. I was told I was lucky on that one.

Great work! You get it. I've had 3LTs and went with a 1LT on my last Vette and never looked back. I realized that I never used any of that crap. HUD is a stupid gimmick. Play a damn video game if that's what you like. Who honestly needs their water temperature or oil pressure thrown in their face continuously via the windshield. More junk that will get you nest to nothing on resale.

I was a little undecided, before I ordered my '14, whether or not to get the 1LT or 2LT. The only two things I wanted in the 2LT option was the HUD and the adjustable seat bolsters. I owned an '09 with 2LT, and still own a '10 GS with 1LT. So I have driven a Vette with both options.

I ordered my '14 with 1LT because the 2LT was not worth $4,300 to me.

The seats in the 1LT fit me perfect and I don't miss the HUD at all.

I am quite satisfied with the 1LT in my Vette. I have the solid painted roof and red seats.

Another 1LT, Black interior, MN7, absolutely zero regrets. I had a 3LT C6, and I don't miss anything.

I am fine with what I ordered, 1LT, ZFI, NPP, A8. Could of ordered it anyway I wanted, have the cash but this is want I wanted, no regret (s) and if I was to do it over it would be the same. Paid supplier and with early production price, it was a HUGE savings.

1LT A8 and love it. If i end paying 70k for a 2LT or 3LT might as well just get a Z06 for around 85k, thats how i see it.

My car stickered at 61,200, with my gm employee it came out to 53,500. What a bargain lol.

Default 1lt

I read through the 1LT. 2LT and 3LT packages and options and figured that 1LT was all I needed other than the NPP option.

Now I do have on thing that I think would be helpful and would have been nice on the 1LT package. I would like the Memory seat function just so I can have the seat move way back while I get in. Then I can move the seat forward to my driving position. Not worth the cost of the total package though.

I'm very happy with my 1LT, but it does have navigation and NPP. I can live without heated/cooled seats, seat memory, and HUD. It's the right model at the right time for me.

1LT is the way to go. I also recommend the ZF1 package too. The 19/20'' wheels make a big difference. Probably about 95% of people cannot tell the difference between my $52K 1LT and a $70K 3LT. My only pet peeve is that my knee keeps bumping the hatch release button when I get out of the car. This is my 3rd Vette within the past 10 years and the C7 is far more superior to either one of my C6's.

1Lt for me. Wanted all black interior and sliver exterior and nothing in upper packages interested me at all. Didn't buy it as any kind of money savings move. It is everything you could hope for already.

mines already ordered and scheduled to build week of 4/13. Ordered 1lt and when I clicked onthis thread I was a bit nervous everyone would say they wished they got more... very happy to see all the positive on 1lt. Only thing I really wanted was the heated/cooled seats but not worth an extra 4k

I ordered a 1LT Z51A8 in Velocity Yellow with lots of mods including camera and Mag Ride. Current price would be over $70K. Didn't want HUD or the heated and VENTILATED??? seats. Picked up a auto day/nite mirror for $115.00 and the Home Link Visor. Spent much of the rest of the $4K on other mods like Z06 Grille and skirts etc. Had Supplier discount so felt I came out great. My son recently got a 1LT Vert and not only got an 11% off, he had almost $2K in GM dollars. Courtesy delivery this weekend for only $200. Car retailed for $63,300., so saved almost $9K.

Unless you gotta hafta have heads up, 1LT is a no brainer. To me heads up interferes with my forward vision. Yes, I have driven cars with it for lots of miles. With the big digital speedo just a few degees below my long range line of sight, Heads Up is just a redundant gimmick to me.

My opinion only... Lots of people love it. Glad they do.

I would have preferred to have the vented/cooling seats in Florida. I don't care for the HUD or any of the other features.
