Options?
I'm looking to buy one next year and want to take advantage of your experience with your Z06?





The only options I got was the PDR and a couple exterior visual options, the LBR and a black hood bulge decal, plus black side mirrors.
Everything else was a waste of money, WAY too much $$ for what you get, IMO.
Aftermarket side skirts were a relative bargain.

Another piece of advice: if you're not going to be tracking the car or don't anticipate that you'll be using the PDR, I would definitely not recommend going for the nav option. You can use Apple Carplay + Maps and you'll have a fully functional nav system.

I got a 3LZ, carbon flash mirrors, Stage 2 aero, stinger stripe, machine face wheels (per the pic at left). Happy with everything and no regrets whatsoever.

Nope, you're right it doesn't. The nav system with Carplay is limited to the screen & audio commands. I would, however, have felt very cheated if I bought the nav system only to find that Carplay has that functionality.

3LZ - full leather dash/doors is really nice, so is PDR and front camera. Today's pleathers are pretty darn good but I finally get a premier interior and you can easily tell the difference IMHO.
CFV - the CF looks like black from a distance, but is really nice up close. I also got the CF hood, looks killer but has a paint seam.
Clear roof - I sat in cars with clear and painted/CF roof and had to have the sun and also didn't like the way the liner is on the painted/CF. Clear roof looks black from the outside unless you put your face right up to it.
Sport Seats - just love the way they look and fit, I also got sueded inserts, wheel, shifter which (for me) give better grip.
Z07 - brakes are phenomenal, love the aggressive aero. Tires are a question mark if you plan to drive a lot in rain/cold. I drove it home in pouring rain and was fine to 75, but 80 was a little iffy, fyi. But mine probably won't see rain again.
Everything else was color related, yellow, yellow calipers, yellow stitching, black wheels. Oh, on the wheels, I was really worried about black wheels and they are totally awesome, esp with this color combination. I saw one similar at a dealership today with the silver wheels and it confirmed for me that black was the way to go with the color combo I had going.
What I did not get
CF dash - I don't miss this at all but it seems that it is one of the most popular options.
Auto - trans is a personal preference - but love the rev matching on the manual

My advice is that if you are on the fence about Comp seats, get them.

I love the CC brakes both in looks and operation
I had the opportunity to feel both the 3lz leather and 2lz leather and frankly liked the Mulan better than the Napa. Just my preference though
Regarding the Z07 package, I do plan on tracking the car a couple times a year but I doubt at my skill level the stage 3 aero will make a difference. I just love the look. Serious head turner
I also like the PDR. I turn it on quite frequently just in case something happens. I'm going to assume if I ever get in an accident it won't be my fault https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...Angel_anim.gif
Good luck!
