Watch Before Buying C8 Corvette

Alright, in this video I'm going to go over the pros and cons of the Corvette C8 and these are things that I discovered after owning it for about three weeks and these are things that a lot of people are really thinking about. I'm not talking about that, and I'm going to go over them real quick because a lot of the things I know, many of you already know, this is a must

watch

video if you're looking to place an order for this car. or if you are looking to buy it used I hope you like this video don't forget to subscribe and like so I heard people talking saying that the car doesn't have a 12 volt electrical connection and this car actually does but it is hidden, it's actually hidden here, I don't know if you can see it here, so if you want to charge your phone, you want to plug it in.

There is a place in the center console, of course, everyone knows where it is. It is, but there's another one hidden down here where you can plug it in and it's perfect if you want to install a dash cam. I'm actually going to put a dash cam in this car, I just haven't gotten around to it, eh, but yeah. There's a connection here and I'll zoom in that way, you guys can see it up close, so it's on the passenger side. If you go down far enough, you can see that there is an opening right there.

Here is another interesting feature. Keep that start. button without stepping on the brake for five seconds or one two three four five and you can review your settings you can play music and without having the car on that's something I didn't learn until after I had the car, this here you are I'm going to go to the center of this, uh, the headlight, go to the middle, just reach under the paint, click to open the front, here's the important part, this one, you want to close it, you don't want this thing to open on you. These side mirrors are not symmetrical.

Look here. I got them. I can put my sponge in here and it has plenty of room to play with now. If I bring it here to compare sizes, it just doesn't want to fit. It's one of those things that you can't really notice until you measure it, I'll show you how to open this door correctly, go to where the letter e is, I mean, yeah, the e on the

corvette

, click that button, there it is. You open it, look at that. It doesn't open all the way, the nice thing is you can adjust it up and here's something else, you see this handle that way, you're not scratching the paint, you grab the handle and it closes on its own, it's got a little edge there, it's okay, let's talk about the cons of this car, uh, things I don't like, brake dust, a lot of brake dust, I mean, you drive this thing for 50 miles and your wheels are already black now, if you have black wheels, that does it.

It's much easier, but when you have chrome wheels, you may see some brake dust. What I've been using is this thing called brake dust repellent and it actually works pretty well at repelling the dust and instead of it sticking to your rims it actually just flies off so I think that's great. . Here's a problem that I don't see many people talking about or even mentioning. I've only had this car for about 1400 miles and the radiators in the front don't have any type. of protection, I don't know if you were able to see this or not, but the radiators and I see if I can concentrate here, you can see that the radiator already looks like it has suffered some damage, some crack repair, I don't know why.

GM wouldn't put some type of metal mesh between this and the radiators to prevent that from happening and like I said this only has 1400 miles on it, I can only imagine what these radiators will look like when they have 20,000 miles on them. This car and both radiators are in similar condition. Look, look at all those little areas there. I'm pretty sure those rocks just get in there and cause damage when removing the targa top. This is a one-man show, so I'm going. Through it, I'm going to show you how to do it without asking anyone for help, so you have those two latches, one on the back, you just press down and you're fine and once you're here, you lift up the front just to get things done. easier once you get out, well, once you've opened it, first you open the back door, open the back door and make sure you open it all the way, it makes your life a lot easier, get out here, pick it up in the middle like this, place it here like this, make sure you put it in place, the same thing you did now to put the top of the target back in, so real quick, I'm going to show you how to get into competitive mode.

So you can do divine throws so come here and make sure it's on the track so you have to have it on the track or on the sport and then you just turn off the pull control once and click twice to see it. it says competitive mode discard and then you press that brake all the way down and you step on the accelerator all the way down you should look like this and there you go 2.9 0 to sixty two point nine seconds another interesting thing this is the car you're going to, you have to drive well, you want manual mode, let's say you're going, let's say you're going 50 miles an hour, you hold it on the left paddle, you need to kick yourself into the lowest gear, so it's like it downshifts to the lowest gear possible that way, When you step on the gas, you just go forward without having to think about what gear you're going to use or click down, you know, gear by gear, another thing about this car.

It's uh, if you have it in gear instead of clicking into neutral and accelerating it, you'll keep it in gear, you lift both paddles and then you're in neutral. Here's another trick I learned, you can shift your car into gear and it automatically puts you in park. How cool is it when the car battery runs out of charge. Then you'll have to resort to the key that's on your keychain, so you'll want to put it in that hole. there's the chrome, you stick it like this, once you have the key in, you want to turn it towards the back of the card, there you have it.

I have two keyholes, one will be for the driver's door here and the other will be under this plate to access the engine compartment, so you don't have a keyhole for the passenger door or the front.
