Amazing instructional video! I just bought mine Friday (5/19/23). It’s a 2021 2LT, C8 Stingray w/ the Z51 Performance Package. I learned quite a bit, as listed below: - Seats (side cushion adjustments) - Double paddle functions - Rear lift (extended lift) - front pockets - how to properly open the roof

[@superchief15]

You can pull both paddles at a stop light to put the transmission in neutral, save the clutches and stop the car from creeping forward when you let off the brake. Release both paddles with your foot on the brake and the DCT will shift into D1 and push the gas and drive away!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Ooo. I didn't even know that but that's really cool. Thank you for watching and sharing that!

[@bradmason8334]

How does that save the clutch? You must have a C7, they push fwd (creep).

Thanks to this video I learned several ways to open my frunk, I didn't know I had a 12-volt plug either and I did not realize that the glove box would not open if my battery went dead!👍🏽👍🏽

[@howardrockman1389]

this was well worth the time to watch.... learned about clicking the back latch on roof panel, easily....learned about the 12 volt outlet under glove compartment....learned about the manual hood release on floorboard......still got to rewatch just not sure about what you were explaining on the manual shift going back n forth, while engaged/driving to automatic. Thank you, very informative!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful. I have some more videos with long term review items and some must do mods. If anything in this video needs more explanation let me know and I'll try to answer it the best I can.

[@ModernGolfer]

I'm giving this guy two 👍 👍 simply for the fact that there's snow on the ground, streets are wet, and he's out there in the weather rather than 'hiding' his 'Vette in the garage for months on end. And one more 👍 here for the video itself. Great job!

GT1 seat in a 2LT have the power bolster and lumber also along with ventilation, heat and cool!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

I didn't know the GT1 had the adjustable bolsters. I like how it can grip you aggressively when you need it too.

[@rvdano]

The 3LT comes standard with the GT2 seat The 1 LT & 2LT comes standard with a GT1 seat the GT2 seats are optional on the 2LT. In a 2LT with standard GT1 seats they do have the bolster and lumber like mention, but not on a 1LT. For a bigger person I’ve found after setting in all 3 seats, the GT2 is the most comfortable, the Competition seats are terrible for a bigger person.

[@superchief15]

@@rvdano that’s right 3LT gets GT2 seats, in Napa Leather and alcontara rapped door pillars, that’s why it cost so much and you still have to pay more for the carbon fibers door and dash inserts. That is also why the heated, cooled, electric bolstered and lumber on the GT1 in a 2LT trim is such a special seat. Sorry all you 3LT owners that paid more to be recognized!

[@rvdano]

@@superchief15 If you actually do the math figuring the GT2 seat is standard on the 3LT and on the 2LT you have to pay $1495 upgrade for the GT2 seat, the final cost difference from a 2LT to a 3LT is only $3155 in the end, well worth the cost difference IMO. Mine was at 1100 when I asked my dealer to change mine to a 3LT but he screwed around waited about 10 days to make the change, buy then mine was at 3000 which was to late to make changes.

[@Amark002]

@@rvdano wow I didn't do that math before. Is 3LT worth it if we don't take advantage of the two time interior package? Because I ordered the 2 LT with front lift, z51, and gt2 seats.

I didn’t know how to get in my fronk manually! Great tip and I’ll be putting my manual in there from now on. 🤙🏼 I have the HTC 3LT with the race seats. Ps. Those soften up nicely after a few weeks of driving so don’t freak out if you get them. They rock! (I’m 220 and they adapted to me :)

[@JumpSquadAuto]

I really wish I got the HTC. In my next video, I will show how to manually get into the glove box if the battery dies. I learned how to do it after this video. The side panel comes off and there is a socket that opens it. Have to keep a socket on hand so the frunk latch is easier to get too but will show the glove box in the next week.

[@drsimonds]

@@JumpSquadAuto thanks for that tip! Most of the “negative” comments on this amazing car are about the coupe (vents in the back and water etc). The ONLY advantage is seeing the engine which is VERY cool! I wish there was a heat resistant clear glass to replace the heat pro blocking the view to the engine. I’d love to detail that out to the hilt for people to see. Cheers man and thanks for such great responses! Looking forward getting caught up on your other videos, this was my first. 🤙🏼

[@JumpSquadAuto]

@@drsimonds I like seeing the engine but so do other people. The first week I had it, multiple people leaning along the side of the car to see the engine.

[@Dr.Bigglesworth]

Hi. Excellent video! Learned some new things, thanks! In one of your videos you asked about driving in the cold weather with the Z51 summer tires, and don't know if you got an answer. Here is what I read from Michelin:

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Really happy to hear there were some new things in this video. I think it cut the bottom of your message. I was told 40 degrees was the cut off. for the summer tires. I have been kind of cheating on that one haha

[@Dr.Bigglesworth]

​@@JumpSquadAuto Yeah, it did cut it off. Strange. Here is what Michelin said: -Should your car come equipped with the Michelin “Summer only” tires, they have an effective operating range down to 40 degrees fareneheit. From 40 to 20 degrees, they may still be used, but the driver will experience some loss of grip. -If the temperature falls below 20 degrees, DO NOT move the vehicle until the temperature increases. When subjected to that kind of cold temperature, the tire becomes relatively brittle and can experience microscopic fracturing. Are you in New England? And yes, a few things I hadn't found yet, thanks!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

@@Dr.Bigglesworth I am in New England. I haven't driven it below 20 thankfully but have moved it around or driven around town on sunny days in the 30s cause its so hard to resist the urge of driving it. Great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimberlywentworth9160]

No, the tires can not work below 37 degrees. You can not drive and have to wait for the weather to warm up. Then wait 24 hours for the tires to warm up. They are a warm weather tire. Do not even think of having the Summer tires in winter weather. Go to the Tire Rack under specification for that tire. It gives you the specific temp and operating temp of the tire. I am off a little on my numbers but close.

Hey. Thank you for watching. You have a good eye. That is a crack. I caught a rock the drive back home from the dealer. Had it taken care of so its better now.

[@georgek719]

Do you have the summer tires? There is a significant restriction on driving the car, or even flexing the tires, when the temperature gets to 20F.

[@JumpSquadAuto]

It was a Z51 with summer tires I drove a few times in the winter.

[@thomasbenjamin6314]

Do you think it's safe to install a ported throttle body and high performance air filter? Safe for all the computer stuff?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

So I have thought about both of those too. I honestly don't think either will make a big noticeable power difference. You do have to open the rear trunk area up pretty good to install both which is a pain. Just my personal thoughts here, the C8 is still very new and a few have had valve spring issues. I am not ready to risk any chance of the dealer saying my warranty is voided with any engine side mods just yet incase something unfortunate happens. I will do an exhaust at some point but I am skipping the throttle body. I might do a full intake some day but with no tuning available, the cars not gonna maximize any added air. Just my 2 cents. Hope that helps.

Love the car but I don't get why they didn't go one step further and add active cruise control to the driver assistance package.

I had the Jake Contoured Liner Package with all weather floor mats as part of my C8 build. Really glad I got that option! I’m not a big guy 5’ 7” 170 lbs and I think the GT2 Seats are pretty tight. Will driving in manual vs drive negate the function of the cylinder deactivation management system?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

The cylinder deactivation is deactivated in track mode only from what I know. I run z-mode in track engine and sport everything else. I will have to test out if manual also disables it. I almost always am in z-mode.

[@kerry_glock]

@@JumpSquadAuto Sounds good to me. I need to get some gas in the car and set things up. No seat time. I like the idea of running it like you do! Z Mode and Sport. But, how’s the MPG? I guess I have the break in period to get through and make sure everything gets in harmony from the get go! Any worries about launch control and if it’s hard on the transmission and such. I think when I go in for the transmission fluid and filter change I will opt for the additional 2 quarts of fluid. Chevy Dude I believe said GM wouldn’t spend the extra money towards the quarts because it would cost them millions to do it and not everyone will be tracking their car. I look at it as a benefit towards transmission longevity. Now overfilling your oil capacity, that’s bad News there Buddy! Oh, and I know you can severely damage your suspension running in Track Mode over rough and damaged road surfaces. Save Track Mode for the Track!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

@@kerry_glock Yeah track mode is harsh for the street so thankfully in zmode, the engine can run track and mag ride can run touring or sport. I get bad mpg regardless of mode cause I am a little gas pedal heavy

How do you get to the battery

[@JumpSquadAuto]

It is under the plastic panel in the frunk. Super easy to get too and needs no tools. I have a video where I install the strut covers where I open the panel up.

How did the windshield crack? Is that a weak area of the C8?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Not an issue with the car. I took a small pebble/rock to it on the hwy off someone's tire

[@northerniltree]

@@JumpSquadAuto That sucks. I would think that's an expensive windshield. I just bought a 9K miles used 2021 CHT. Your tips really helps me get to know this car, thanks!

[@JumpSquadAuto]

@@northerniltree Glad the video was helpful. I made a video for the replacement cost and of the dealer I went to trying to con me on it. I wanna say it was close to 2k if memory services me correctly.

[@northerniltree]

@@JumpSquadAuto Expensive pebble.

I think the front engine version of the corvette is better.

[@JumpSquadAuto]

They are two very different but great experiences. Unique in their own way.

[@AmoghSarangdhar]

Is this car automatic or manual?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Its a DCT so dual clutch auto. Manual paddle shifters

Thanx for hurting your hand for our benefit

[@jimsteinway695]

THIS is the car, that made the C7 DOUBLE in price!

Why

[@AM-qi4ro]

What mobile home park is this?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Mobile home park? Where haha. At the end, it was actually some really expensive beach front cottages.

[@AM-qi4ro]

@@JumpSquadAuto How long did it take from deposit to driving away?

[@JumpSquadAuto]

@@AM-qi4ro 14 months. I ordered late July of 2019 and took delivery in November of 2020. It was a tough and long wait but the car is amazing and GM does a good job keeping things moving and customers updated. My TRX order was a disaster and Ram really showed how much better GM handles Corvette ordering.

[@JumpSquadAuto]

Haha I actually was drifting around yesterday in the snow. Videos to come. Thanks man for watching. Appreciate the support.
