Yeah, he had 2LT and 3LT IIRC, and I think I do.
Im sure you can do a heckuva car without all that stuff, though.
The 2LT is priced around $7,200 and the 3LT comes in around $12,000. The $60,000 Base can get over $100,000 of you go crazy with the Option List.
For that money I would just wait for the Supercharged Z06.
If I get the Base and decide I need more HP, I can just slap on an aftermarket Edelbrock E Force Supercharger and easily add another 150 HP. When it comes out it will probably run $8,000 or so, not too bad for the Performance upgrade.
