Hot Seat

Roughrider said:
I was out yesterday, top off and a scorcher. You can't even feel a wisper of air coming through the seats. Completely useless!!
I figure that if I had the top on and the air on, I wouldn't need the seat fan on.

Agreed. Top and AC both on is the coolest when it's a smokin hot day. The Lexan top lets a lot more heat into the car on a hot sunny day as well.
 
So, apparently I'm not the only one that has issues with poor performance from the seat fans. Sorry to hear that ... I was hoping it was something fixable. Maybe cut big holes in the seat and seatback upholstery? ;)

So you pay 15-16k extra for 3LT and all you get is Bubble Dash and Swamp Ass...

There's always a reason for settling for less when you have the option for the higher end. Sometimes it's a burden on your debt and limited ability to get or manage a bigger loan; sometimes it's a wife that says "NO".... sometimes it's kids in university, and sometimes you just don't think you need the options. Fair enough. Most have at sometime in their lives been there and made those decisions. But most of those admire, instead of dissing high end optioned items. And most of those who can afford the options wouldn't even think of dissing someone else's choice. Especially Corvette owners.
 
In case anyone cares, my C8 was pre owned, and the fact that it is a 3lt was the choice of the original owner. I would not have ordered 3lt. I hate all the fuzzy crap, esp on the steering wheel ... ugh, and I find it slippery. But the car was 1 yr old, with only 2,700 km on the odometer, and otherwise equipped pretty much as I would have ordered it, so I bought a virtually new car, at a used car price. But not a fan of Alcantera.

Interesting. My 3LT C7 has alcantera on the posts, visors and upper interior but my steering wheel and the rest of the interior is napa leather and I'm glad it is. The napa leather interior alone was worth the trim upgrade choice for me.

That being said, there are many upgrades and options in the 2LT and 3LT trim packages, not to mention the resale value bump.

1LT – Entry-Level Trim
The 1LT is the base trim, ideal for driving purists who want a lightweight, performance-focused Corvette without extra luxury frills. Standard features include:

  • 6.2L LT2 V8 engine with 490 hp and 465 lb-ft torque
  • 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive
  • 19-inch front / 20-inch rear wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires
  • GT1 leather sport seats with 8-way power adjustment
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • 8-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • HD rearview camera and rear camera mirror
  • Basic safety features: forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, rear parking sensors
  • Manual folding mirrors and body-color heated power mirrors

    2LT – Mid-Level Trim
    The 2LT adds comfort, convenience, and advanced safety features, making it the most popular choice for daily driving. Key upgrades over 1LT include:
  • Bose Performance 14-speaker audio system
  • Heated and ventilated GT2 seats with power lumbar and bolster adjustments
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Memory settings for driver and passenger seats and steering wheel

  • HD front and rear cameras, including curb-view front camera
  • Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
  • Optional front-lift system to prevent scraping
  • Head-up display and Performance Data Recorder (PDR)

    3LT – Top-Level Trim
    The 3LT focuses on luxury and interior refinement, offering the highest level of customization and premium materials:
  • Full Napa leather upholstery with carbon-fiber and suede accents
  • Sueded microfiber-wrapped upper interior trim
  • Expanded interior color options and custom leather stitching
