Sounds like a convertible is for you.

Do you like the slim stingray body or porky wide body better?

My vote is buy the one you get a sweet deal on.

Go to a big dealer and drive each variant.That will help you decide.
Many say a 2LT is the sweet spot and it depends some if you are the only driver or not.

Go to Kerbecks site and look at the price differences.

Only you can decide whether you want a coup or convertible, storage space shouldn't be an issue with either.

A 2018 will be discounted substantially greater than a 2019, however if you want a manual you may have to order a 2019 depending on how specific your color/combo and features as dealers carry very few manuals in inventory, even fewer manual convertibles.
You may be able to negotiate as much as a 20+% off MRSP discount on remaining in inventory 2018 at some of the larger regional Corvette dealers. 2019 will be more like 10%>14% off MSRP.

Both Stingray and Grandsport are Great sportscars, Choice as to which to purchase depends how much you like the wide-body look and how much you value the performance/handling/breaking aspects. Z51 addresses the performance factor to an extent if you don't care for wide-body.
NPP exhaust and MRC are a must in my opinion.

Below is a little info that may help in your decision:

There's basically (3) reasons the Grand Sport is appealing to so many:
The beautiful and exotic wide-body look is VERY POPULAR.
The exceptional marrying of power-handling-braking makes the over-all Grand Sport driving experience among that of the very finest sportscars in the world.
The GS package offers the most bang for the buck of any C7 package.

Z16 GS Performance Package features ($10,000): Specific front fender inserts; Z06 style grill; wider rear fenders; front splitter; rocker skirts, additional brake cooling vents and wickerbill rear spoiler; GS CUP-style wheels; Michelin super-sport summer only tires (P285/30ZR19” front, P33525ZR20” rear); 6-piston front and 4-pison front Bremo brakes; Slotted brake rotors; Magnetic Ride Control and Electronic Limited-slip differential; NPP exhaust, Dry-sump oil system; Rear differential cooler; transmission cooler.

Z51 Performance Package features ($5,000): Performance brakes; Black painted calibers; Slotted brake rotors; Dry sump oil system; Z51 performance package, specific shocks, springs and stabilizer bars; NPP exhaust; performance gear ratios, Electronic Limited-slip differential; Rear differential cooler; transmission cooler and Areo package.
Note: Magnetic Ride Control adds $1800 to $5000 Z51 cost.

Where's Skid Mark? When you need a 3lt Decision...Joey Can Ya Hear Me

The two things I like best about my C7 is the mag ride and performance exhaust. While the 3LT interior is a step up it just about looks so the 2LT has the goodies you want. I track my car so the Z51 package was a must have. As for color, just get something interesting that is actually a color and avoid black (especially in FL), white or grey.

Hahahaha! Now that's funny I don't care who y'ar!

I must admit I have a hard time with these, "What do I so?" threads. For God's sakes, do what you want! No one else can decide for you. Now having said that, you really need to explore your options, and a very good place to do that is on the Corvette build site: https://www.chevrolet.com/performanc...d-price/config There you have all the options to play with and you can configure your car many different ways to see how the options interact. I must have built "my car" a couple dozen times before I came up with my ideal configuration. The site really taught me all the different options and even depicts what a given car will look like. And for nearly ANY option you will discover people who think it is indispensable and others who think it's a waste of time. Ask opinions and you'll get them, but what does my opinion have to do with what you want? My guess is zero. You have a lot of choices to make, so make them.

That's a broad range of choices. Throw a dart and see where it lands.

Navigation only comes with the 3LT?
