Suspension seems great, really tight. It's just that The Z51 pieces are a pretty good bump up in both suspension and braking. I have both on my current car and like the tightness and stopping power. The Z51 option from GM is $6300 but adds more than just suspension and brakes. I can get away for about 1/2 of that cost doing the brakes and suspension. Not to mention when you order your car and you want red calipers (which I want) it's an additional $500. When you buy parts, all colors cost the same.

However, I would go maybe just grey or black on the rotors. Red REALLY stands out with the white. Just me of course. I have never been a vette guy, but that is nice looking. All the new ones I've seen have like a wishbone vent molding? |

As for the red calipers, aways wanted them and never had them. I'll also say they're a bit overplayed. Don't know if you ever saw 'Birdcage' but this sums up my thoughts LOL!!!

I like the softer moldings, hate the wishbone. How is the trunk room? I'm thinking of getting rid of the Lotus. Looking at good and cool trip cars, and Chevy support everywhere. |

I used to travel for a week on business with a carry on. Figure man in the front with one, woman in the back with two. As a sidebar, always wanted a Lotus. C. Chapman was dam near a genius as best as I can tell.

How is passenger comfort? Does it have dual temp control? Anything about the interior you don't like? How it the square steering wheel?
I really like the white LT1. |

Steering wheel is fine, yes dual zone AC, skinniest AC vents I ever saw. The dash is configurable to a degree so that's good. Although I don't like some of it and the right-hand side is useless information as far as I'm concerned. I'm not super crazy with that row of AC switches in the center console. It's a bit weird on the passenger side as it's so tall and cuts off the center console a bit. Rear view mirror is a bit limited, but I understand 2024 switches to a camera one across all models. In the eariler higher optioned cars it does have the camera mirror.

Found the same one, but I think a 2024, in Colorado. They want 69k. So tempted.
