At around $80k, the Stingray 2LT with Z51 package and magnetic ride control is the exact configuration I'd buy, even above the Z06 which is way beyond most drivers' capability anyway, as is the base engine, frankly. The Z06 is also way more money for not much more performance. Sure the new 5.5 V8 sounds spectacular, but that exotic sound and faster acceleration aren't worth an extra $30k in my opinion.

Where did you get the extra $30,000 from. Try $80,000 and more.

Take it from a HTC owner, the convertible is worth every penney above the coupe. Many reviews say it’s $7,500 above the coupe, but that’s only with the 1LT. With 2LT or 3LT, it’s $7,000. All earlier rag tops looked best with the top down, but this one looks even better than the coupe with the top up. Zero wind buffeting like the coupe, top up or down. The high percentage of buyers attests to the fact that the HTC is in high demand.

I've always been a Corvette coupe owner, but the C8 HTC really is the clear winner in a satisfied ownership. Other than seeing the engine, I can't think of a reason now to own a coupe again with the C8.

@@speroskoufis7505 super. No issues, but only 4K miles. The HTC mechanism is designed and made by the same folks who do them for Mercedes and some other top brands. With all the issues you read about concerning DCTs and so forth, I haven’t read one complaint yet about the HTC mechanism not working. I enjoy it with the top,up, but the back window down.

You don’t need a Z06 unless you like $3k per wheel brake jobs and live next to a track. Otherwise, there is literally no need for more than the Z51 package base C8.

I’m a Porsche guy through and through I’ve had 911s for 20 something years currently a 2018 911 GT3. This corvette package is a very capable package for a decent price. My problem is all the games Chevy let’s the dealers play. I’d buy a Z06 in a heartbeat but the markups are ridiculous. I did pay $10k over on my last GT3 but I think that’s respectable because of the low production numbers . But presumably Chevy should build as many as there are buyers so why $100,000 markup? Or even more? Back on topic I’d rather go with the Targa version versus the hard top convertible. The interiors are very nice
