Quickly discovered not to race a Tesla P85 because it's embarrassing how fast they accelerate. In spite of that I wouldn't even consider one because the sound on the Corvette exhaust is just so nice. If it wasn't for the sound, I'd get at least 5mpg more.

off the line sure, do a top end run and he's going to have a bad day.

Ooohh, MAN, did you miss an opportunity!!

same here. i keep adjusting the tilt and that has helped a little. forward/back may help. with only 390 miles, i'm not versed yet in what should and should not be.

itaylorm

Totally agree. Makes me wonder

After owning mine for a while and cross shopping other cars w/ similar features and performance, surprised at how much car I got for my money.

My husband doesn't care what I do. I entered the marriage with eight cars. He knows I buy a car or motorcycle a year. Heck, this year it was a new car and a motorcycle. He doesn't care about cars. I did get him an R/T Challenger and a motorcycle and a WRX daily driver. If he said anything about the cars, this marriage wouldn't last. He did however hate the Camaro and is much happier with the new vette. I didn't know until I traded the camaro and he told me.

If you can afford it and it isn't preventing bills from getting paid etc, I don't see the problem. Who needs to live like that.

Amen sister...you sound like my wife (who also rides bikes).

That it doesn't have the low end I expected. Other then that, nothing.

I am surprised at how many times the engine turns before it fires up. My C5 fired right up where the c7 turns several times before firing, is this normal.
Secondly I find the turn signal for swapping lanes cool, just push it a little, not enought to engauge and it blinks two or three times for lane change.
Love this car

couple of things:

1. Traction control settings - Stabilitrac and Traction Control offer different computer aids. Traction control allows you to smoke the tires but if you do it going around a curve the car will cutout and apply brakes. To drift/power slide you have to take stabilitrac off as well as traction control. Also placing in track mode and taking both stabilitrac and traction control off offers a sub menu that adjusts shift points/rev matching/etc. I was always driving in sport mode until I discovered the track mode sub menu. Nows its in Track and Race.

2. Love the rev matching for a M7

3. PDR records in valet mode with overlay of speed/tach/etc. PDR outside of valet mode requires you to manually turn on the overlays. Otherwise you just get good footage but don't get to see the speed/tech/etc.

4. hard vert top is extremely easy to stow. But putting it back on will pinch the rubber on the back locations and have to pay attention as it cut mine and sometimes the rubber will stick out. Easy to adjust but adds some time.

5. Pulling fuse (forget which one maybe 12?) will disable the rear view mirror onstar buttons. Find it less distracting when driving at night in the ghost setting

6. Nav on the vette sucks! Roads don't show up that have been around for 20+ years (paved hwy's) and in generally the quality is shockingly poor

7. Adjusting the theme to track allows (for me) an easier view of the tachometer and when to shift. Especially good when you are running the car hard.

8. Rear truck is huge. Clearly was designed to hold golf clubs. Also secret storage in back left corner opposite battery.

9. Front passenger seat automatically shuts airbag off if seat detects less than 75lb. Great because what has surprised me is how often my 5 year old daughter asks to take the vette to drop her off at preschool.

Embarrassed to actually post this, but maybe this will help others.

Since I first got the car I wondered why GM decided to show the temp gauge and oil pressure on the two virtual gauges (I see they are called pocket gauges) that show up on Sport mode. Dups of the hard gauges right next to them.

I owned this car for more than a year, and I did not realize that the two gauges displayed on the dash in Sport mode could be changed! Do'oh!

Yes, the manual tells all:

U betcha! Excellent point!

"6. Nav on the vette sucks! Roads don't show up that have been around for 20+ years (paved hwy's) and in generally the quality is shockingly poor"...



Terrible!...takes me WAY around simple routes....

I use the free onstar app that I downloaded on my phone (I do not pay for onstar services) and I send the route to my navigation, you can do this without actually subscribing to onstar monthly plans. It's part of the basic onstar service that comes with the car for I believe 5 years. Way more accurate and easy solution. It works just like the regular cars Nav system but more accurate.

TNSQUIRE

I believe the Nav service is only for the first 6 months after activation. At least mine was. You get the other app functions for 5 years but is limited to honking the horn, locking/unlocking and flashing the lights.

I forgot one other thing, the NPP isn't as loud as my Camaro.

KWC6

I like the A8 because its faster than the M7...

Perfectly normal with a DI engine. It's just getting the fuel pressure up.

If your car is equipped with the factory Navigation you can use the onstar app to send the map to your cars factory Navigation even after the 6 month trial is up. Try opening the app and sending a destination to yourself it will give you 2 options, 1) send to turn by turn or, 2) send to in dash Nav. If you choose in dash Nav it will pop up on your cars factory Navigation, then all you have to do is press go button on the infotainment screen and it will start. I use this all the time and my Onstar subscribtion is expired.
