I purchased a 2018 LC500 in December and upgraded the infotainment system to add Apple CarPlay from the dealer. It costed (I don't remember the exact amount) between $150-$350. I will say that the rougher suspension isn't really noticeable/important unless you're trying to wind out the car. With the way that you'll be driving the LC500, I wouldn't worry too much about chassis/suspension stiffness or transmission adjustments-If you really find that it's unbearable, just keep the LC500 out of Sport or Sport#. My older parents do drive the car and I have not heard a single complaint from them regarding comfort.

hey lighten up guys, i wasn't dissing anyone of any age... mehran888 posted about getting an LC and mentioned parents and whether they would like the ride, and i assumed maybe they're not 'young' and that maybe getting in/out might also be a challenge. i'm no kid and freely admit that getting in and out of my LC is much more challenging than my suv!

And I didn't take offense on behalf of my parents either! But you do bring up a good point. To be honest, even I have trouble getting in and out of low cars due to my lower back. End of the day my parents won't spend much time in the LC (when it comes), but at least I can rest assured knowing that from an overall comfort standpoint I'm much better off than the 718 or 911s I was looking at.
heck the doors must way a few hundred pounds!There's a rev limiter setting for the gauges or something?

72 here no problem getting in & out of my LC, in fact it is easier then my RCF I just traded in on the LC. If you want to see some issues, go to the Corvette Museum webcam & watch them getting in & out of the Corvettes for museum delivery.
