Cooking eggs in your C8 trunk?
- Thread starter carbuff
- Start date
Not quite cooking but bringing leftovers after a dinner out they stay warm 
That's BS. I bring home beer in the trunk and it's still cold!
Are you racing the car to get those temps? A normal drive and the wall is just slightly warm.

reminds me of an old Popular Mechanics article. Wrap the chicken in foil and wire tie to the exhaust manifold. If the drive is long enough, you get winner winner chicken dinner.
A little perspective here.
One can touch the wall and it MIGHT feel hot after spirited driving.
It is never hot enough that you can't leave your hand on it.
At 60°C, it takes one second for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
At 55°C, it takes 10 seconds for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
At 50°C, it takes five minutes for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
I think your gauge is flawed.

OP you should put on your fire suit, drive your C8 to the nearest chevy dealership immediately, and trade it in for a Chevy Trax, because what the hell was GM thinking selling you this death trap. I would go as far as to say that it is beneath you to drive or be seen in such a sub-par vehicle. I am no lawyer but I think you have grounds for a law suit.
why is it that some people always look for flaws or problems (real or perceived) instead of focusing on the big picture that C8 is the best sports car for the money, ever...

Not when the frunk is full of expensive beef!FYI a case of 24 corona's fits nice in the frunk
Actually 2 cases of 30 cans fit in the frunk.
I think we can all agree that the trunk definitely gets hot… frunk is a better option for temperature sensitive items.
If OP’s engine compartment is really getting that hot, there must be an issue and he should get it looked at immediately. Clearly temps that high are not normal and are unsafe.

I shop at Costco with my C8 and never had problems fitting 300$ of stuff. Sometimes the boxes make the packages too big , happened once, I take it out of the box and leave it in the basket , so it gets recycled. As for this kind of heat never!
