Don't care about ceramic brakes and bigger spoilers and a ZO7 package in general. Make the basic Z and make every option a separate price. Make everything an option like rear gears and close or wide ratio transmission gears or seats , I think 2 seat options so that's good.
Really, avoid those option packages for $10K. Keep this Z affordable . I am not buying if I can't option the way I want.
I'll make it clear, like back in the day, sixties & seventies, basic car and everything is a stand alone option where possible. Only buy what YOU want one thing at a time. Thanks GM and don't make it a year from now like you pulled with the Camaro Ha!

Default Each generation it's the same

With all the wanna bees When I started this I thought I would like to just buy it my way I know they make more with packages of options.
But, I will buy one, I won't pay sticker like some of the big operators on here. Funny right?
Let me ask some of you how many new cars/Vetts have you bought in the past year? If your a dealer you don't count.
Don't forget, we are talking about 18 months until you might see one. Good luck till then.

I don't care about the Z07 package or the extra aero either. But carbon-ceramics are a must-have, so I'm hoping I can get them a la carte.

7-MT, 3-LT, carbon-ceramics...and I'm good!

I don't know about you, but I had a bad feeling before even attempting to click. Curiosity got me.
