    New C8, what are the "must dos"?

    Lol. We have the same problems. Personal truck, work truck, Jeep….or Vette (formerly Hellcat). And for our resident chit disturber, Jackoon…. I could roll a Massey tractor or a Can Am quad too….haha

    New C8, what are the "must dos"?

    No Z51…but now that I can peruse a real manual, you are correct for both those buttons. I have to get another 700km on ‘er before I get to try…and it’s snowing again….

    No hard copy. Just a quick start useless pamphlet in the glove box telling you to load up the MyChevy ap for a manual. Thanks for the link! (My 2023 Ford work truck never came with one either)

    Here’s how good the “manual” is in the ap:

    New C8, what are the "must dos"?

    It’s apparently the new dash… I went and grabbed the fob and fired it up…the right button is launch control (and with 124km apparently It’s disabled, lol…I get it). The middle button turns off and on traction control. The left button didn’t appear to do anything. I don’t seem to have any...

    So the MyChevy ap has the WORST owners manual I have ever had the displeasure of perusing. Pages and pages describing warning lights…nothing telling you what controls do what. I clicked the “purchase printed manual” button: unavailable. What are these 3 buttons? I assume one is stability...

    Before you put the link in there I thought you were making a funny... In any case, I have a Peddle Commander on my Titan and it works well. I don't see the need to monkey with the throttle on sports cars...never used one on my Hellcat. Wide open is wide open, hehe.

    New C8, what are the "must dos"?

    In Alberta this is almost mandatory. They use very rocky sand on the roads and it isn't cleaned up until well into our short "summer car season". I do it to all my vehicles. My 2017 Titan (personal truck) still looks great while my 2023 F150 (company truck with no PPF) is pretty rashed up...

    I think I’m figuring out this sites resident chit disturber/funny guy. Lol

    I paid less than what dealers and owners are asking for 2021-2024 used C8's around here...the only reason I went new. Plus, now I get warranty.

    New C8, what are the "must dos"?

    Got the car home yesterday. PPF is done and I have a bunch of stuff on order...front screens, rock guards (mud flaps), lift pucks. The only "owners manual" is the myChevy app pages and it's a PITA to read on my phone. The Chevy manuals website doesn't have one for 2026 yet. While I assume 99%...

    Aᴛᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ. ..Radar Detector In A C8 Corvette Could Damage Rearview Mirror

    Is this still a “thing”? Old thread, I know. But I have a radar detector that I used in my Hellcat that is going into the new C8….wondering if I just dangle the cord, or use a mirror-tap?

    Just bite the bullet and buy snow tires?

    Well the roads around Calgary were pretty terrible. Less snow (but still, snow) around the Red Deer area. I postponed car pick up until Monday.

    Just bite the bullet and buy snow tires?

    I’m in BC working and headed home to AB today. I was supposed to pick up my car (1st Vette, just bought it) at the dealership tomorrow or Saturday….aaaaand home is under a snowfall warning. Grrrr

    Supercar oil

    To be clear, I don’t take delivery until next Saturday. I signed the paperwork and left a deposit this week. I have my insurance, registration and bank draft all sitting at my house, but I am away working until next Thursday. I’m just trying to get ahead of things. Maybe during the handover next...
