C8 CORVETTE

It would be more perfect if the indicator lights were more visible. Even with the top up, the amber lights are almost invisible during the day.

 

IMO, the wall of buttons was unnecessary. All the controls for the passenger could have been on the passenger side, perhaps even in the door. That leaves the temp, fan, and seat controls which could have been better integrated into the center console if they got rid of that "palm rest" -- which I don't think anyone uses. Then that area could be used for a better phone charger area.

Its not bad but I think its not as well thought out as it could have been.

 

I don't use the phone charger - just too inconvenient/awkward. Even the door card would have been a better location, imo.

 

I am always forgetting to put it in or take it out. To put it in the charger while seated is like a Houdini trick.

 

I use mine, but I forget my phone in the car half of the time....

 

Interesting. I achieved almost 27 mpg in my Z51 from Houston to Austin and back. Of course city driving is a different story...

 

That's about right. If you go into V4 mode it can do that or better. But in the city its like 12-14.

 

Just do what I did...keep your iphone 6S...it won't do wireless charging...problem solved

First Wild Ass Guess!

ZZ632/ZZ572 = 1,004 HP/727 HP = $X/$16,300

Solving for X = ~$22,500?

Meant for drag racing applications.

From R&T.
If you can get by with just 1004 hp, the ZZ632/1000 goes on sale in early 2022. Pricing hasn't been announced, but the 621-hp ZZ572/620 with which it shares an engine block mold goes for $16,304.82. Expect this to land north of that figure.

VERY cool crate motor. But, this relates to the C8 corvette how? Engine swap? It's an iron block. Too heavy

Not for Corvette!

 

A pop up if you leave your phone in the wireless charge when you shut off the car. It's supposedly from a 2021 2LT with an August 24 build date.
Hopefully they will make this a software push to the older cars.

It's funny; my Genesis G70 reminds me if I open the door and my phone is on the charging pad. The pad is just in front of the shift lever on the center console. Pretty hard to forget it as it's right in front of the park button.

Not to pile on, but my Genesis (as well as every other new car I've had in the past ten years) has auto-dimming high beams.

I'm not complaining, just really surprised at some of the omissions I've taken for granted in far lessor cars.

 

Nobody's perfect and if this little reminder prompt is all I have to worry about missing, I will survive just fine.
I love my C8 and look forward to my Z06

 

I most likely will die of frustration.

Is it even possible to build a car that sucks more than a c8?
