Brian, thank you for pulling this together for C8 owners. Very helpful! I've owned by HTC since July 30th after waiting for a year and absolutely love the car. First time Corvette owner. It's a wow car all around.
Great information. I purchased my Z06 just 36 hours before I moved to another state and knew very little about my car. This is an enormous help! Thank you very much.
That's a huge help, and thank you. My new '24 black Z51 Coupe is in pre-delivery at my local dealer right now, and I hope to pick it up tomorrow. Watching your excellent video probably saved me having to pull over and whip out the manual, or worse yet, call a tow truck. I'll watch this valuable video a few more times. Thanks.
I saw my new Corvette yesterday. I went in to see it and was awestruck at how beautiful it was. I choose to get the car sealed with a ceramic coating, so it will be a few days before I get to bring it home. It has taken 2.5 years since I put down my deposit for this ride. This video is for me -- thanks. (And thanks to GM for building such an amazing product.)
On the paddle shifters you can pull on both at the same time and put the car in a rolling neutral and disengage the cruise without pushing on the brakes. You can save the dual clutch by holding both paddles at a traffic light while stopped!
I recommend that you *do* *not* slam a soft close trunk as shown in this video. I own a 1985 Eldorado Biarritz with a soft close trunk and you can damage the mechanism by slamming it. Simply push the trunk lid down until you hear a click on both my Corvette and my Cadillac, then the electronic system will take it from there.
Nice video. You should make a table of contents w time stamps. Most of these things I knew so I didn’t watch the whole video. But I think this will be helpful to many.
Would u be able to do a similar video for 2024 c8 model. It runs on Google android software. Specifically, id like to know where the “PIN# to start vehicle” is on the 2024 model.?
You can use up to 256GB as a max size. the minimum is 16 GB. a properly formatted 64GB card gives you 25 hours (1,500 mins) of recording time before having to write over and the 128GB gives you 52.7 hours (3,166 mins).
How many credit hours do I receive if I successfully program my new Vette? It should be at least a five Hr class. My first car in 1970 was a 64 Impala, a wonderful car! For thelife of me I can't think of any option or "operating system" that needed to be explained. I looks like the new Corvette requires a secret handshake just to get in and start it. I can hardly wait!
Will the GT1 seats be more comfortable for daily driving than the GT2 seats, if they are both in a 2LT? I'm considering the LT3 but I can't choose GT1 seats and if they are more comfortable that's more important to me.

what do you mean by "disengage the cruise without pushing on the brakes" when would you utilize the double paddle shifter pull?
Very informative, I’ve owned my c8 for littl over a month now and I learned a few extra things 👍🏽
Good job pal!!

Thanks for a supervideo! Lasse Leibel from Sweden
I am so grateful for my dream car C8 and ability to have all those upgrades like chrome wheels and V racing Smart active system installed!
I only drive Porsches but this is a bad ass looking car.
Waited eleven months.... well worth the wait, the car's a beast.... love it!
Im in love with corvettes & Victor Racing parts for vettes, you need to check them out!
Great vid...thx for your time..!!!!salute
When you install your top be sure to latch all three latches before you drive away so the unlatched top doesn’t fly off as you drive!
Nice video. You should make a table of contents w time stamps. Most of these things I knew so I didn’t watch the whole video. But I think this will be helpful to many.
Really good video
Thanks
GREAT VIDEO !! Thank you !
Great info!
Excellent video! Thanks
Great video thank you!
Thanks, very informative.
Great video
I just got this message, where’s my corvette? Lol
Wow so much to learn I just order a 2022 vett ,nice instructions
Hi The car in the video is 2022 right?
@@okaythen001 the manual he held up says 2021
You should cover the emergency door releases on the floor
Thanks for this video it is a great help with my new Corvette.
Probably a good idea to lower rear hatch slowly then push gently with the palm of your hand!
I have seen multiple people do it different ways. I hate finger prints and don't always have a rag in my pocket so I close quickly.
Would u be able to do a similar video for 2024 c8 model. It runs on Google android software. Specifically, id like to know where the “PIN# to start vehicle” is on the 2024 model.?
“It is a soft close trunk, but I just slam it down.” 😳
If u want to upgrade wing I could recommend Victor racing one...it won Sema show award last year...
Very thorough.
But I think you should have covered the mandatory break in period.
12:45 "it will require you to buckle up in order for you to drive, so I'm going to turn that off now"
Swiss car mandates screaming in terror!! 🇨🇭😨😨
The buttons in the driver’s door pocket opens both lids with a single press of the buttons,
What is the PDR SD card size you can use.
Up to 64 Gig I think. That’s is more than needed. Especially with loop recording over weeks of video.
You can use up to 256GB as a max size. the minimum is 16 GB. a properly formatted 64GB card gives you 25 hours (1,500 mins) of recording time before having to write over and the 128GB gives you 52.7 hours (3,166 mins).

Are there other 'bags' left in the trunk?
Will the GT1 seats be more comfortable for daily driving than the GT2 seats, if they are both in a 2LT?
I'm considering the LT3 but I can't choose GT1 seats and if they are more comfortable that's more important to me.
I do find the gt1 and gt2 seats comfortable for daily driving. The gt2 seats would combine comfort and side bolsters for aggressive driving as well.
I got the GT2 seats , they are very comfortable AND they have a little carbon fiber on them

Buying my wife one today. Does anyone know the recommended fuel grade. I assume it will be 93octane.🤔
The fuel ⛽️ that’s required is the one someone would expect when they LOOK 👀 at the car. Hope that helps.
How do you get out if the battery is dead?
There are manual release latches on the floor, next to each door, which you can pull to open the doors, if the battery is dead
Jesus - why do people say F runk?!! It's a trunk! When the trunk is in the rear - did you say R unk?!!! The rear area is a hatch on this car!!!
Pedantic
in other words a bunch of over complicated stuff
If you need to watch a video to be able to use your car, you bought the wrong car
