    Thanks for sharing this. I’m 29 and a thin body type who ordered the competition seats with my 2021 C8. I think I made the right choice for my body type, but I appreciate your honest feedback on how most owners would not like it. I’ve been searching for seat feedback and almost no videos exist. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

  • @Surfnboy

    Hey Rick! Just got my C8 a few days ago! - When slowly accelerating from a stop, it is jerky/pully? going from first, second, and third gear, but after third it is all smooth and perfect. When coming down to a stop again and decelerating, it feels jerky/pully again dropping from 4th to 3rd and then again down to 1st. anything above 3rd gear is buttery smooth. Is this a normal feeling or is it something I should be worried about. The car has 300 miles on it, and just want to make sure all is good. Some people are telling me that it could just be the car getting used to my driving patterns and to wait a few hundred miles. Also it’s more aggressive of a shift in sport and track mode. In tour mode it still happens but way more dampened/ less noticeable

    • @ellobo1326

      The high wing is an additional Z51 option, but Chevy is having trouble with their supplier. You can buy the OEM part online from a few sites. Hopefully they can re-enable that option for the 2021 cars later this year.
