Base is great, just get the NPP exhaust!
Z51 you can tell in pictures because it has carbon black side view mirrors and rear spoiler. It also has the lines of slotted rotors.
I also liked the 2LT because cooled seats are useful in the summertime.

To avoid any confusion, the seats aren't cooled, they are vented by a fan (big difference).
Good you are please with yours as many here have stated the vented seats are worthless.

Not necessarily. My Z51 had body colored mirrors and spoiler. Black is optional.

Most used dealers don't know anything about 'Vettes so its hard to get the right information. Plus any online ad is only as good as the person would edited the copy. When I bought my previous car (Nissan 350Z) I found that about 1/2 of the ads were wrong on some level. I am talking clear mistakes like listing cruise control when a photo showed no buttons on the steering wheel. I even saw ads that got the transmission wrong!

I agree. Z51 w/Mag Ride is the bargain. Once you get the Vette, you will find yourself taking corners sharper, speeding up on off ramps, and generally finding places to cruise with nice curves and straightaways. The Z51 is the most cost-efficient way to get the most out of your Vette if you aren't going to track the car.

Looking at buying a C7 in the next 6 months and wondering if I need to spend the money on the Z51 package. Here in Canada it adds $5k to the price of the car.
Very unlikely I will ever track the car, is there any point getting it for street driving? Will it make a major difference?
Thanks in advance...
