New guy with ?'s
I have had an 89 coupe for a few years now and finally decided to take the plunge and order me an 08. There are so many options and packages I was hoping to get some of your thoughts on what are the must haves, and what are the don't needs. Thanks in advance,
Alan

You might want to consider the nav package and the Z51 suspension package.

Heads up display. I wish I would have gotten a vette with that. Depending on the color I think competition gray wheels look sweet on a vette.

Aloha and welcome to the CF, for your C6 it all depends what you want out of the car. For all the creature comforts the 3LT package includes HUD and power seats with driver memory for 2 people, for suspension, Z51 or the magnetic ride F55, NAV system and the NPP for exhaust quiet at idle and normal driving and it opens up loud for WOT driving.
