Mine is a 1LT with Z51, FE3, wheels, calipers, that's it. Could not be more pleased. Visibility is fine to the rear without the camera/mirror. I'm coming from a tweaked C7 Z06/700 hp. This car may be faster to 80. No wheel spin. The Z06 is way more brutal after 80 mph. The exhaust is too quiet. Other than that, no regrets whatsoever. Fantastic car. Will move to the Z when it arrives but this is a great car.

Nice to see and read many positives about the 1LT. I, also ordered a 1LT but included the NPP Performance exhaust. Anyone out there get a 1LT with NPP and are happy with the sound? How does it sound in TRACK mode?

I am very happy with my Non Z51 1LT! I have had it for 2 weeks and have over 600 miles on it. I find that the ride and handling is excellent for my needs and lack of 2LT items are not missed at all. I like the fact of no brake dust and the all season tires with great traction and a treadwear rating of 540. A lot of car and performance and can't be beat for the money spent!

I have a 1 LT with NPP it sounds nice in track mode but is not as loud as my C7 Grand Sport.
