Sounds like you want the 3LT trim with sueded seat inserts and steering wheel, and base (non-Z51) suspension. Beyond that you just have to pick your colors.

Your Chevy dealer should be able to explain all of the options to you... and the corvette configuration site can as well.
Not sure what a "plush" interior means.... but sounds like you're looking at the 3LT interior with all the bells and whistles, as well as the Napa leather. and then you'll want Magnetic Ride, which is only on the Z51 packages.

You should order whatever color you want... it's your car... but yellow corvettes are harder to sell down the road (at least in my experience, I've had a few C6/C7 in yellow). best of luck

The base suspension is more comfortable than the Z51 with magnetic ride.

Like others have said, you’ll want the 3LT “plush” interior option. Also, you’ll want to go with the GT2 seats as they have the nicer Napa leather. If you like Carbon Fiber, there’s a Carbon Fiber dash option.

You do know there is a configurator at chevy.com? I am waiting on the Z06 to decide what I think but if I buy a C8 it will be one of the up engine models Spider. Right now I like the Red with the body colored bits, bright wheels, yellow calipers with black 3LZ interior with yellow stitching and yellow seatbelts. I also like the big wing in body color paint. No CG for me. The body lift is a very good idea, I would definitely pay for that. My 2 cents anywho...as they say beauty is in the eye. Here is what I am thinking, this example is a coupe/targa but mine would be a Spider for sure, haven't yet built one of those.

He would also need to add MSRC! That will greatly affect the ride.

Sounds like you want 3LT, possibly optional micro fiber suede inserts + steering wheel, non Z51 will give you the the most comfortable suspension + mag ride. Beyond that everything else is your choice nothing else will change the way the ride feels or the quality of the materials other then these options.

Thanx for the input
I also like Red so it will be one of the two
thought Z51 package had the bigger engine , will see I need to research between now and then
one of the things held me backs for past few years been the interior of Vetts now from what I have seen in photos I like what designers have done I like the interior look of European sports cars and the look of Corvette now I can have both Napa leather it is

Get the 3LT trim package. That's the whole enchilada. I'm glad I got it. Makes the car complete.

I passed on the suede interior. I'm very happy with my 3LT Nappa leather virtually every where!
