PACKAGE Comparisons?

In the market for a 2014-15 Z51. Can someone direct me to a side by side comparison of the LT1,2 and 3 packages?
And whats in a Z51 package?
Thanks

I will answer about the Z51 here as I've already responded to your other post.

Basically I believe Z51 includes larger wheels than base c7, 19 front and 20 rear, slotted rotors, spoiler, stiffer suspension, elsd differential, trans oil cooler.

Pretty Picture

Z51 had no value to us. The base suspension is more than we can handle. Same with engine HP. We focus on bells and whistles. Blade Silver/Red 3LT convertible, carbon fiber dash, red calipers, and NPP at my wife's insistence. Really! Our plan was always to mount HRE's. So the first month, we went to OEM Z51 size wheels and tires. Using the Z51 option money to offset it if you need an excuse. We didn't. And a Caravaggio D wheel for good measure. So maybe we over spent the Instead of Z51 budget a little. Or maybe a lot? Who is counting eh?

True, I forgot to mention the scoops are functional. Thanks for adding that point.
Scoops that are not functional are like blanks in a car where switches should be...
