Can't you switch that on/off :doe: ? Admittedly I don't know because I don't bother sniffing around stuff that's 'more than I can afford pal' too much.
Yes, but I think at certain throttle percentages it comes on no matter what after 3000rpm or so. :waxer: would know.
That is :fuckyeah: best of both worlds... hopefully they carry on with something like that on C8s, I bet they will.

I'm fairly certain the C8 in this video should have the C8 version of this as it's (probably) a Z51. We will see it's a preproduction car anyways. Looked like it changed direction like :mindblown:

Oh god, I would... but can't afford it/am too cheap/can't really have that as my only car with CF on the horizon in a few years. If I was a single guy I'd consider rolling with it as a sole vehicle NFG, could afford if I gave up the niceties :tits: require like dinners out, "nice kitchen", etc.

With the nose lift connected to GPS so it remembers where you need it you, can you really afford to not have a C8? No more scrape life. Can get in and out of parking garage, future driveway, pregernt :tits: can get in easier etc. It's the ideal vehicle.

I'd just tell it to stay lifted everywhere. What it really needs is to lift the whole car by default - and then have a "track" or "stance" mode that lowers it down to moran height.

The tweet isn't loading but I already know which one it is. With the engine right behind the driver they could have piped intake sound into the cabin instead. Honestly the car sounds like a Tahoe inside

Pretty much all sporty cars do this :aintcare:

Just get exhaust that's loud enough to cover it.

We recently got our hands on a 2020 C8 coupe with the Z51 performance package and promptly rolled it onto the scales. Its total curb weight came in at 3647 pounds, which is 195 more than the last C7 Corvette Stingray we weighed.
That's 600lbs heavier than a GAYMAN. :wtf:
