...now that is done, but its still changeable until its selected (maybe months) and I need to know which option(s) I've missed as a must have. Any suggestions.
AW, Kalahari interior/top, A8, Chrome wheels, 3LZ, video camera,

Don't suggest:
Z07 package
selectable vin
build your own motor
Museum delivery
painted rotors

And what is a 'wicking' spoiler and what does it do.
Does it come standard with the areo package? Dealer did not have a way to order this and I am in a 2 plate state

Thanks for the input

Painted roters? Do you mean painted calipers?

Get the Z07 :-)

Consider whether comp seats are a good fit for you (very comfortable for me). They really enhance the interior appearance.

Suede inserts or not?

Also throw in some carbon fiber (if you like that), such as CF dash and/or CF tonneau inserts.

Stinger or full length stripes?

Standard red calipers, yellow, or black?

The 3LZ is very loaded (includes PDR/Video).

I would think about the use, No track No Z07,
The large spoiler and the tires you will be removing to drive it on the road. The regular Z06 was the better choice for me.

In fact beyond the Stage 1 and 1lz. Since I don't track the car and live in a mild climate. I couldn't order anything but 1lz and stage 1.


Which should be the lightest and fastest package for the street.
You can add the wicking spoiler for a few hundred. But honestly why?
Extra for stuff that does slow your car. I would like the car "dearrowed" with less wind drag.

The racer look is over top in my opinion with the body mounted huge
spoilers. Do just that "spoil" the look.
My build was 82k. I do like the looks and ride of the comp seats.

Did you even gets yours yet?

Isn't the Z07 is lighter due to the brakes? The Areo on the Z07 is all carbon fiber and the weight next to nothing. I held that bag containing the areo pieces and it was really light. I wouldn't be surprised if the rubber splitter on the level 1 weighs more than all of the CF areo on the Z07.

I bought the Z07 solely because of the brakes. The Z07 areo looks great too. It completes the car. See the Z07 and the Base car next to each other and its a no brainier.

the aero can be bought separately. Stage 3 has larger wicker in the back and larger splat in the front. did you consider the Auto and the carbon fiber dash. I ordered my with Comp seats, but some find it comfortable some find it too tight.. all depend on taste and size I suppose.

Yes I chose the A8, no a big fan of the carbon fiber look.
