7 speed manual or 8 speed automatic with paddle shifters
Magnetic Ride Control
Z51 package. Larger wheels and dry sump oil system (if you intend to track or drive very aggressively)
Magnetic Ride Control. Something you will really miss not having
Coupe or convertible
GS package (what I would choose next time). Fatty 335 tires on back 285 on front. That is a lot of sneaker and will impress anyone who knows Corvettes and nice cars.
Skip the navigation. Expensive, needs expensive updates and annoys you
Color

All i can think of at the moment. Pretty awesome huh? I'm still amazed every time it drive as it doesn't go away.

Well I test drive an auto and the thing does not even shift lol. It does exactly like what my Nissan Altima does.
It was a artic white z51 that thing will have your eyes watery when you hit the gas or maybe I got scared.
I know they was asking for 60k for it and can't wait till that day when I get to own one.
What I liked the most was that it has cameras on the front lol and can see when I'm about to hit the curb.
