Which Corvette trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Corvette's midlevel 2LT trim (or the Z06's 2LZ trim) is the one to get for the most value. It includes the generous list of features found in the base trim and adds heated and ventilated seats, a front-view parking camera to help prevent damaging the Corvette's nose, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning for a safer driving experience.
