Go for a really basic generic spec that isn't crazy or out of the ordinary. Not sure why you would want to do that and ruin your C8 experience just to make an extra few grand in the future compared to buying what you actually like...
You're going to lose money either way.

Keeping it in a museum or driving it? If you drive it, it will just be an old worn car and wouldn't matter how it's configured. At least at that point you would have gotten your moneys worth instead of keeping it nice for someone else. These are standard issue cars, not investments, you'll do much better in the stock market.

Why do you bother posting? What do you actually know? It seems you are pretty new to cars, 99% of what you post is cut and paste BS that you still can't manage to comprehend or you're calling someone out for posting BS as stupid as your own and now you're offering advice on how to option a car for long term value?

Are you going to drive it or let it sit in the garage? If driving, it literally does not matter how you option it. Look at C5s right now. High mileage ones are super cheap and depending on options a base model can be within a grand of one with a bit of options. If you're storing it and it will have low miles.... that's a little more difficult to figure out. You'd still probabaly best go with what I said in my first post, even though I assume you were keeping it a couple years.

Well, 1999 Vettes aren't worth more than they were 20 years ago new, so I think if you want to have lost the least amount of money possible on your 2020 C8 in 2040 you probably want to go with the cheapest C8 you can buy. Especially if you took the $ difference between a moderate to heavily optioned C8 and a base C8 and stuck it in an index mutual fund for 20 years.
Now what I really think is you should forget about the depreciating asset's future value and get the one you want.

Of course I don't, all I have right now is my deposit at the dealer for an allocation. They said the other day they should be calling me within the next few weeks to go over and spec the car.

Well you quite clearly didn't gather correctly. Maybe you should stalk me a little more so you can actually see what I meant. Or maybe you'll be smart and knock off the crap. Already speaking to a couple mods about your behavior and have screenshotted a bunch of your posts in response to me. There is no need for this. I don't recall ever being rude to you so I am clueless as to why you're following me around to different threads and different sections. One thing is for sure: I'm not going to take this from a member that joined less than two months ago.

As for saying the OP should buy a basic car..... if you look into classics offered for sale that had the most modern and highest performance options at the time they tend to sell for more and faster. Hence classic car ads that state "factory AC" "factory heavy duty brakes and suspension" "factory POSI" "factory bucket seats". If the first year of the mid engined Corvette is ever going to be a sought after classic I would think options like Z51 and 3LT with all the bells and whistles would be more desirable.
