We will talk about five

things

. that you guys

didn

't

know

five cool

features

that you

didn

't know about the C 8 core, but it's super feature rich if you've seen my other videos with the Corvette that I've talked about, you know some of the

features

, but these are 5

things

that really most consumers won't know so I thought I'd make a video about it. Top 5 things that are great about the Corvette c8, let's start off good, so let's start cold. key here, just double tap that mode, oh shit, you can see bad exhausts and bad exhausts, we'll start with number five, it has to do with the keys, that's why I have both keychains here, ludie, you guys will probably notice or No.

Notice that these two keys are different colors, now Corvette calls the black one the one that is completely shaded on the carbon flash, which makes sense because they call this one chrome, which is like it's chrome in the middle. The really cool thing about these guys is that you can program them to do different things, so traditionally you would think that if it's more of a normal car, you can give one to your wife, which can be driver 1 or driver 2 and your One same can be the driver or however you want to differentiate it with this car, there is a high probability that you will be the only person driving the Corvette C8, so what you can do and, wow, I set it up is one like this. one is my driver, another for example, and then this is my driver, 2 and one indicates a different type of driving dynamics, so you can program this with the seats and also the way your mode works, so that I can tell if, for example, this Uno, the flash carbon one, is my weekend setup, so I make the seat a little bit closer and tighten the bolsters a little more because usually the end During the week I'm looking for a more energetic type of driving, you know?

This guy, if you want a more everyday type of driving, you know the seats are a little bit further away, the lumbar supports in terms of width, it's not that far in and you know my mode is set to plus. of a touring setting instead of a sport or track focus mode with this guy, so I'm going to show you that I'm just going to leave, for example, the carbon flash, we're just going to use this one, go ahead, so it's I'll know that this is the driver one when I start the car you'll see check out the seats you'll see this so check out the seats coming in and on the screen here if we can get some. in it it says your controller won, so you put everything into controller mode one, which is this guy here and again, it has a lot to do with your Z mode, you can program your Z mode.

Oops, you can program your Z mode. like that and it's really cool, really cool, it presents something that a lot of people and a lot of owners will probably never discover so I thought it would be on the list so that's why it's number five alright guys so let's move on to number four. It has to do with PDR and the PDR system in the car, so I'm just going to rotate the camera. I thought about giving them a cold or hot start. I guess inside the car it comes to life with a roar, everything will turn on by itself.

Right here, by the way, give it a second, that's what I was talking about earlier. You can see it says ooh, you were driver one, so to access PDR, you'll be on your secondary screen, so swipe on one that's your PDR there. This is really cool, so you see how it says above, stop recording and how I didn't do anything, it just started recording automatically, that's an option in the settings that I think will pay dividends in the future, whatever you have to do. What you have to do is here, your memory card, right there, and it will automatically make recordings for you.

I think it's a key feature, it's something you should activate when you buy your car and it's something you'll like sometime. you have it on, you are protected in case something happens and it is really very useful. I love the fact that you know Corvette built this into the system you obviously had PDR and c7 however it never started automatically if you wanted to use it as a dash cam you can tell you had to do it manually in this case you go here to the settings and then you see the automatic recording, you actually have a settings option, you can do it only in valley mode or every time, so mine, but then I also set it and here you always want to choose 1080p, that's super important and then , if you do, obviously, if you have a smaller memory card or a memory card of any size, you want to make sure that you click this button right here.

It says allow recording overwrite, that's super important, so here we go. I didn't select it just in valley mode, in all modes, obviously, I think that's really very important, so I'm going to set it up here and you want to make sure that's the case. in you want to make sure your qualities are 1080p instead of 480p and then obviously automatic report recording is on so you can see it turned on automatically and then if you ever want to see your recordings you have your entire list of recordings. it's obviously recording now so you can't click and watch, but if you stop it you can see all your recordings, super cool feature, something a lot of owners probably won't use because they didn't know about it, but in my opinion this is super important and it will save you in case something happens, if someone you know hits you, you ever hit and run, something like that, you will have a camera if someone cuts into your lane and tells you you know.

You know it wasn't my fault, you automatically have it here, it doesn't cost you anything, you don't have to do it manually every time, it's something you do once and everything automatically takes care of moving forward. So number three, we actually opened up the front of the car, as you can see, we also removed the panel. It's actually very easy to do if you want to know how to do it and out of curiosity I can make a separate video. but it takes about five minutes or for the purpose of keeping this video short and simple to the point, I'm not going to illustrate it, but for people this is going to be something long term that they're going to want to know, not something immediate because these cars are obviously new at the time. time to create this video, but under this panel I'll just show where it was, this is how it is located, down here you have the battery, so if you ever need to jump the battery, for example, and charge the trinkle.

The access port that is in this trunk does not work, do it or the battery is dead. You will have to open it to access it. The other thing you want to do is make this your cabin air intake. Also, if you want to change that filter, just unclip these buttons, you have access to it, lift this up, open it, change it, you also have the air conditioning line in there, obviously, and you have the brake fluid right in there. there, brake fluid is actually something you can fill without having to remove it, just like windshield washer fluid;

However, if you want to access the other things I told you about, you will have to do so. and this is where they would actually connect the battery during the winter for people like me in northern climates who are not going to be driving this car in the winter. I intend to do so, so stay tuned just as I did. with all my others like mine, I've dreamed of differences throughout four different arctic winters, so this is where you plug it in and yeah, that's it, and if your battery ever dies or dies and you want to jump, you're going to I have to remove this, so number three is okay, so moving on to number two has to do with the paddle shifters.

Many of you would know that pulling both paddles while driving will put them in neutral so you have a neutral button. Here it is, but while you're driving, let's say you just want to rub it under the tunnel or you want to put it in neutral for some reason, I don't know what it is, you can pull both paddles simultaneously and it will put you in neutral. is not the feature, the interesting thing that most people don't know is that in this double clutch you have to skip gears, for example, if you are in seventh or sixth gear and you find some arm where you want to accelerate quickly and I know you can downshift into second gear instead of having to click, click, click, click, just hold down the downshift, so you just want to hold it like that and it will automatically downshift you to the lowest gear possible, that's super cool.

I obviously have a GTR if you've been following a channel for a while you know I'm familiar with dual clutches. I have driven PD KS. I have driven McLarens with dual clutches. This is a really cool and nifty feature I think. most Corvette owners, unless they watch this video or read the manual, probably won't know this, which means they're not taking advantage of it, but essentially I'll go out there in a second and try to prove it. You know how useful this feature is instead of having to downshift and you know how to accelerate if, for example, you're moving onto a highway on-ramp and you want to go very fast and you want to accelerate very, very quickly, put it all down. the way it's going to drop them into the lowest gear possible, hit it and it's really cool alright guys so I'm going to show you how this downshift feature works.

I'll just wait, turn onto this road here, okay. I'm going to keep changing to OK, so we're at six, so let's say I want to go all the way down. I'm going to click and hold this once you see it appear second. I will show you that it will again go all the way up or in six once again. Hold this in for a second and I'm ready to use a really nifty, really cool feature, okay, so number one, I think this is the most important feature that anyone who wants to work on their Corvette should know about and something that they really don't.

It is a popular application. I've looked on YouTube and the owner's manual doesn't really address it unless you look deep into the Orangemen foot. You know the hood opening back here and you see it's a standard height, but if you look at me, you have a hard time getting your head in there, your back is pushed into this, which makes it really very difficult to work on this engine made in in any way possible, so if you are one of those who wants to work on the engine bay, you know whether to change the cover, which is a mod that comes for this car, I want to do it, so stay tuned for that subscription, but this in actually has a second option, all you have to do is push ups, just get a little bit closer with faith, so as I'm pushing up you can see it's going to go, go, go and then you get to your blocking point, now you can see how much taller it is.

So if you're coming from this angle, I'll lean into the other interesting thing: Obviously we know this glass is going to get dirty, so it allows you to get really close here so you can clean it. to stretch, so just to illustrate how high it is now, if we take a look from this angle, look how high it is, it's a really very acute angle, so keep that in mind, we'll do it one more time to show you the difference . so this will be a normal height to take into account. Look how much higher I can go, it's a significant increase and the ability to do that is something most people won't know about and I thought I was number one on this. video because it is a super useful thing that everyone can use on a daily basis, whether they are working on the engine, cleaning the engine bay, cleaning the rear window, whatever it is, it is a super important feature, thank you very much to everyone for seeing it, I hope you found it. something you know you found interesting, this video learned a few things, if you did make sure to hit the thumbs up button, subscribe, check out my other videos, I'm putting out tons of them, I already have a bunch on the channel so Les I appreciate that you are watching, take care, share this video with your friends if you can, now we hope to see you in the next video, take care, bye.
