My '19 base Stingray with stick handles as well or better than my previous '08 Z51 manual coupe. I don't track or autocross the car. I also live in Western PA that possibly has the worst roads in the US. No Z51 for me.

I think you'll remain happy. I'm in kinda the same situation as you. I had a choice of a 2016 1LT with 10,000 miles, or a 2014 3LT with 20,000 miles.

I went for the newer model year with half the miles, and don't regret it for a second.

Both cars had my "must haves":

Torch Red
Manual tranny
NPP exhaust


Everything else was gravy on top!

It may sound weird, but in all honesty, the only thing I really miss is the built in garage door opener that my 2008 3LT had, lol.

First world problems and all.
