I've optioned a 1LT Corvette Stingray to right around $68K -- about the same price as a Premium Dark Horse with Recaros. This is going to be a tough decision.
The DH has more in the way of standard safety features given that the Stingray is only a 1LT, but the Corvette has much better build quality, etc. So much give and take in each choice.
The MSRP difference between a DH w/ HP isn't that much different from a lower trim C8 Z51.
I would also cross shop the DH w/ HP with a G80 M3 xDrive Competition.
The problem that I anticipate for Ford is that by the DH is available with the HP, there will be enough inventory of the C8 Z51 that GM and its dealers have to start discounting the C8 non Z06 models.
