I found this link. At first I was skeptical, but it does cover almost all of the new for 2024 safety and convenience features.
There's a "manual download" button below the OM banner.
2024 Chevrolet Corvette owners manual - OwnersMan
Page 17-18 for the soft close "frunk".
I also noted a "Auto stop" feature on page 180-181. I hate them, but there's an override switch.
No adaptive cruise control, but they add an engine kill system. Combined with the AFM system, I should be able to get 100mpg, easily.

Nothing I've missed. Do you have a fer-instance?
 
Well it doesn't give a proper instrument and button explanation especially by the front lift there's another button to the right of that still not sure what it does there's nothing about proper tire inflation except refer to the manufacturer and many others I just can't think of right now but every time I try and look something up it's not there sport exhaust it doesn't give you a definitive way of determining if you have it or not I'll remember much more later I just woke up

It’s the downward looking front camera to aid parking. Not sure if it’s available on the 1LT or not but if you have the button just push it and the main screen will show the camera view if available. Awesome feature actually. The recommended tire pressure is on a sticker on the driver’s door post. Just like every vehicle…..as for the exhaust just look at your build sheet which you can download from C8 tracker.com using your VIN . It will show under options if the performance exhaust is installed. The vehicle always starts in tour mode. After starting switch to sport or track mode and you will hear the difference if you have the active exhaust. Helps if you lower the windows , lol . ;) Hope this helps.

You will find a lot of that info on page 74 of the owners manual.

Thanks for that I don't want to seem like an idiot I guess I'm just used to manuals that are hundreds of pages long this one just seems like a quick guide they spend more time on seat belt locking then they do on exhaust

Where you able to master the "seat belt locking" technique? Safety first...

The 1LT version of the C8 does not have the front down facing camera. Just checked.
 
This is a screenshot of my car I bought unfortunately it doesn't show the writing below I guess there wasn't enough space for that but the funny thing is the first thing it said under description in big bold letters was we pay the luxury tax which is 10% in Canada on new vehicles so when I made the deal I saw a 7,000 something dollar luxury tax and I told the salesman hey check your ass it says right first we pay the luxury so he checked the ad they couldn't believe it says that went to the sales manager and they took it off but what they really did was they lowered the car by $7,500 and then charge me the luxury tax so I guess they couldn't get around what they said in the ad they had to charge it which reduced the price to $128 0⁰0

Canada’s luxury tax applies to new cars and aircraft priced over $100,000 and boats over $250,000. This federal tax was introduced on September 1, 2022, aiming to ensure wealthier individuals contribute more when purchasing such high-value items.
Calculation Methods:
The tax is calculated as the lesser of:
• 10% of the full purchase price, or
• 20% of the amount by which the price exceeds the threshold ($100,000 for vehicles/aircraft; $250,000 for boats).
Examples:
• A car priced at $120,000:
• 10% of $120,000 = $12,000
• 20% of ($120,000 - $100,000) = $4,000
• Luxury tax charged: $4,000 (the lower amount).
• A car priced at $220,000:
• 10% of $220,000 = $22,000
• 20% of ($220,000 - $100,000) = $24,000
• Luxury tax charged: $22,000.
 
You know they put a really stupid high up just under the hood license plate holder or bracket anyways the car looks so stupid with it I've seen others that are lower down this one ruins the whole looking up front so I took it off I'll pay the fine if I ever get one I've owned several cars that never came with a front plate bracket never got a ticket

Why didn’t you purchase one in BC ?
 
I'm not going to put a plate on no matter how it looks it looks better with no plate things have changed now anyways everywhere police do not have time to waste on a plate or lack of plate I remember in 1998 I bought a car a Trans am I think it was tinted on the passenger side not the driver side I got pulled over and ticketed for that so let's see them pulled everybody over tinted forget robbery rape and murder
