It didn't help that the guy driving the z06 clearly was biased and did not want to be there. He didn't seem to know much about how to operate it.

I like the towel idea, might try that. Hope I remember to remove the towel afterwards lol. I would advise against blocking the engine vents permanently, they are there for a reason. Too much heat isn't going to make the engine perform any better...

Out of curiosity, is there any weight savings going to an AGM battery?

Leave them black...your C8 will stand out. Even a Kia can have red calipers these days.

I too will do my own filter when the time comes, likely the spring of 2027. However I will not get the filter from Amazon no matter what the price. Too many cheap knockoffs sold by crooks. Buy the filter from GM, you are saving a ton of money anyway doing the work yourself. Just my 2 cents...

I recommend the purchase of a decent battery charger (not maintainer). It's well worth the cost and they will often diagnose battery issues. Dead batteries are not always easy to bring back to usability and I would not rely on the car's charging system.

Stop worrying about what the neighbours think, and enjoy your ride whenever you can. People have lives to live, and noise is a sign of that. If you have complainers, too bad for them, start up a garage band and show them what real noise is lol.

I had the same issue at first, it was weird to have to focus on a screen. You do get used to it. I found that angling the mirror to the left cut down most of the glare.

Not so easy if you don't know what to look for. Keep in mind the engine would be running before the thief realizes something is wrong. Can't see them diving under the dash looking for wiring harnesses to unplug and replug while the owner is looking for the shotgun.

It installs via a wiring harness that plugs inline with the throttle harness.

I read some people are using the Soler Throttle Controller as an anti-theft device. You can disable the throttle via the app. There are also factory settings for the controller itself so throttle response doesn't have to feel any different if you don't want it to. Soler controller I lot...

I am at 6k. I know the DCT filter will have to be done again at 12k km which will be 2 years from now for me.

My advice would be to change the oil before putting it away. Assuming you have the 3 year timeline for your 2 free service appointments, you might want to pay for the oil change and defer the DCT service until you have the 12k kms. SOME dealerships say you don't have to use the DCT service on...

I use this U3 card with no issues. It's also rated class 10.
