This year's Corvette 2LT and 3LT trim levels have been closely examined on the many blogs and internet news sources that have a love for all things car-related, and for very good reason! This amazing mid-engined model that has seen so many years in the making has been reviewed as completely iconic, game-changing, and has been billed as having the best interior of any Corvette that ever existed. Adrian Padeanu of Motor1.com took a close-up look this past week at what the base 1LT offers and put this video on the blog laying out all of the details.
Even without the head-up display, wireless charging pad, front-facing camera, and heated steering wheel, many who have taken the plunge and took this breathtaking machine for a spin have thought it appears a bit cleaner this way. On the shown model there is no Z51 trim, no magnetic ride, and the still very striking number makes its appearance in placidly stark orange exterior paint. The host first describes in detail how there is 490 horsepower generated from the 6.2-liter V8 engine. The transmission does also come with paddles, and it is stressed here that it in all ways is “exceptionally quick!”
The tires flaunt 19-inch rims in the front and 20-inch in the back, and the base-level trim does come with a removable top that easily clicks in place. You do also score GT1 seats on the entry-level 'Vette, which the review team agrees are absolutely “more than just OK.” They do a good job of showing the viewer here how everything on the interior facing the driver almost feels like an awesome fighter jet, and the steering wheel is calibrated just as one for racing would be.
The driving modes available are touring, sport, and track, and track is where this crew claims the most fun is had. It's where the steering and braking really stiffens up, and you get to open up and embrace every bump and corner in the road. The Motor1.com expert on duty also claims that the Bose 10-speaker audio system on board is one of the best he's ever heard and that he was able to get it sounding “absolutely perfect.”
This base-level does not come with a rear-view camera, and even though that is more of a family-friendly safety feature we recognize it adds a feeling of safety and security. Everyone here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis has been amazed by the raw performance ability and power of the new Corvette, and this video does a great job of laying out just what you get when exploring the entry-level purchase! For most of us in the automotive sales and service realm, the new C8 was a definitive moment in history, and we love to relish every chance out there to explore the way it feels to push its limits!
