At 95k, it's no longer affordable. It's not a cheap super car. This is for the base model, the Z06 and ZR1 will be outrageously priced.
But the only performance options are the $5k Z51 package, the $1,895 Mag Ride, and being generous, the $2k sport bucket seats.

The rest is just fluff, like paying to stamp a Porsche crest in the headrests of a 718.

Options are for suckers, or best case, people who will keep the car long enough to not be concerned about the lost value on resale. Those $95k C8's will be worth exactly the same as a $70k C8 with the Z51 and Mag Ride in two or three years, someone will just get some extra leather trim for free.

Just trying to be annoying, with a 3LT, I only got to $86k, and that's with $400 orange seatbelts. You'd have to tick every check box to get to $95k, and then you'd have the equivalent of a $55k 320i.
