Hey everybody. Lost my 2006 c6 vert last February, hit by a pick up truck on 295 in south jersey. Z51 monetary red with tan top, bought brand new in 2006. I loved that car! Ready to move on, getting a 2017 grand sport, was wondering is it worth the extra money to get the 1LT or the 2LT. Thanks

1LT is standard, 2LT is the next step up. You'll get a wide range of opinions here. Personally, I wouldn't consider a 1LT because I place a high value on the extras you get with 2LT, things like:
Another thing to consider is that if you go with a gray or Adrenaline Red interior the color distribution is different in 1LT vs. 2LT. With 1LT only the seats are in the secondary color; 2LT adds the color to the center console and door panels. (This is not a factor with the all Jet Black interior since the entire interior is black regardless of 1LT / 2LT / 3LT.) In addition, the Kalahari interior is not available with 1LT.
- HUD
- Memory functions
- Heated / ventilated seats
- Upgraded audio system

If you like gizmos, get a 2LT. The HUD is very cool, for example. If you're a purist who would get crank handles for the windows if you could, stick to a 1LT and brag that you got the cheapest model available.
