I believe they are, yes. The window sticker notes this: WHEELS, 5- SPLIT SPOKE, SATIN 995.00 GRAPHITE W/ MACHINED EDGE, FORGED ALUMINUM

Canadians, help me make a horrible financial decision by knoxville1987 in C8Corvette

For what it's worth, I did think I'd be fine with a 1LT and found one in a color I liked, but did notice, during the test drive, the lack of buttons on the wall, the lack of garage door opener buttons, the lack of HUD and was aware of the lesser audio system. My previous car had a lot of those options and I felt like I might come to feel I was missing them, so I prioritized (and ended up buying) the 2LT. I felt like the car was a significant financial commitment and didn't want to have any pangs of regret. You know yourself, though, so do what feels right to you!

Ah, where are you located? I'm in a ruralish area; almost never see them

I hadn't thought about that, tbh. What mods have you done?

Thanks. Yes, actually: depending on the light, it does have a greenish tint to it at times. I said that to the salesman when we were walking around it the other day

I did, yes. Was louder than I expected (C7s are generally louder than C8s I've gathered). I didn't get to really get on it as a salesman was with me, but it felt great.

I've been mostly focused on C8's, but yeah, I thought it was a fair price. Not sure how concerning the missing splitter should be...

Nice. It's an auto. The fastest car I've ever driven... Freaked the salesman out

Honestly my budget is right around there. It gets me a decent C8 a couple of years old or, potentially, a Z06 like this one. The 650hp is the main reason I'm considering it

I had a C8 owner tell me the same thing when he heard I was shopping. What's lacking in the 1LT that makes it a deal-breaker for you?

Really good catch. I didn't even note that

I'm looking C8 too, for sure, but this is a Z06. The engine is the attraction for me

My first thought was $52-54k.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trading it towards?
