Yeah, I’m not going to baby it another 1600km. Not going to track it but I’ve owned enough new vehicles in my life to know that the proper break-in is to drive it like you’re going to drive it. I always get water and oil temps up before pushing it. Best way to have a low power oil burner is to...

Well I rolled ‘er past the break-in. First turn I took on way home I clicked into Z and romped on it! Pretty good fun I must say. Not as brutal as my Hellcat, but probably just as quick to 200 km/hr. Tried the launch when I was almost home. I have to say I haven’t giggled like that in a car for...

Yup, thanks. I think you posted that for me once already. I downloaded it and have perused.

Well with a few errand runs I’m at 675 km today. Going to visit a buddy who has a hot rod shop tomorrow and he’s 110 km away. So in theory I will be able to finally let ‘er loose at some point on the way home. Lol Funny that my Hellcat had no such restrictions…

I did a 350 km run yesterday. I now have 580 on the car. Next weekend I should get to the point where the computer is happy and lets ‘er rip!

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

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:

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.

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.
