Difference in LT packages for C6 Corvettes
Video Transcript [Music] hello everybody lyle at C&S corvettes in sarasota florida here to talk to you about corvette stuff on my friday podcast today i've had the idea i want to go over the different option levels on the c6 corvette i get a lot of customers writing me in they're following my videos about what to look for when you're looking for a c6 to buy and the differences between the years and i keep getting the question about what's 1lt what's 3lt what's all that stuff so today i'm going to run down the differences between the 1 2 3 4 lt trim levels on the c6 2005 to 13 corvette now there were certain changes as you went through like side air bags became available in 2009 or 10 as basic equipment a couple of little tweaks like that but for actual option groups that you're going to deal with when you're driving the car you know touch feel love and use i'm going to go over the main functional differences between the option groups starting with the 1lt or the base car base car was a coupe with a body colored removable roof panel a driver's side power seat a tilt steering column am fm cd player and pretty much just the basic stuff from there everything else was extra in fact as we go through this list some of the things that you couldn't imagine living without don't come into play until like the 3lt level but so 1lt is base base car this what we call the stripper 2lt includes everything that was in the lt1 lt package obviously plus you get a 6-way power passenger seat on the right hand side of the car you get slightly better seats with perforated leather seating surfaces the power back angle adjustment adjustable lumbar side bolsters that begins in the 2lt group you get that fancy cargo net and luggage shade in the rear compartment you get a much wider choice of interior colors you know the gray the tan the red whatever you also get bluetooth connectivity on the steering wheel controls for the bluetooth on the steering wheel starting in 2010. that's 2lt 3lt 3lt is the most common and the most popular option you're going to hear something to hear like ah yep definitely want that in my car so 3lt is everything from 1lt and 2lt plus the bose premium 7-speaker sound system a heads-up display which you might not think's important but once you have it and get used to it you miss it in every other car you have because you d you like it it's just floating there telling everything you need to know the memory package so that the car remembers okay your key fob won and you set the car's seat up to be this way the mirrors to be that way your radio stations all of that by your fob uh heated seats driver and passenger side were an option and three were part of the 3lt option package uh you had that universal home remote that little oval all with three buttons on your sun visor power telescoping column which if you are a person of very great size or very minimal size the telescoping column is a lifesaver it's really awesome and you also got a one-year subscription to accent radio which of course will have long ago expired if you're looking at any of these cars today that's 3lt 4lt was the everything but the kitchen sink option okay so that's one two three lt everything i've talked about so far boom already in that car add to that a custom leather wrapped interior the dash is the upper instrument panel is wrapped in leather upper door trim panels console storage cover different custom colors of leather that were available two-tone design available cross-flag embroidery in the seats enhanced armrest padding and a special gun metal pattern on the center console trim plate starting in the 2010s so the 4lt was all about dressing up the interior to make it look much more upmarket than the normal corvette interior if you are a sporting driver if you are someone who is going to use this car in a mildly aggressive fashion the 4lt you don't need it was a very expensive option back in the day and not many people chose it the ones that you did see choosing it were usually the people getting the z06 or the zr1 where they had they had so much money they didn't care they just wanted everything available the 4lt package really doesn't do anything to improve the driving experience other than making the black plastic bits of the car that are kind of unattractive cover them with leather make them look nicer it adds weight it has expense and yeah if i were buying the car new i'd never pick it but if the 4lt car and the 3lt car are sitting on a nice used car dealers lot for roughly the same price dealer's choice you can do whatever you want you won't lose either way so that is the 1lt 2lt 3lt and 4lt options on the c6 corvette if you have questions about these options or maybe you have a car that doesn't fit into any of
