Its to the right of the snow shovel attachment bracket located behind the front splitter. If you have a hard time finding it, just grab the splitter and pull it up really hard.

Throw some Charcoal in a metal drain pan. Light it up and throw it under your oil pan for about 20 minutes. She will fire right up!!! We will do that even on a 30 degree AM at the track. Cold oil+high output engine= Hard on it!

I lived in Edmonton for 25 years, so I too know cold. If I lived there today, I would still own a Z06.....but it would be parked untill April.
As it is, I moved to Nashville and it is darn cold here too.....I think it was 52 today....lol.
I miss Edmonton, but do not miss the cold.
I appreciate your pain!

The biggest thing I miss about Edmonton is not having my car here in Vegas. I see a lot of Lambo's, Ferrari’s, and many other exotics every day. I wish I could dance with them.

Personally, I like Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies in the summer. , I thought it was cold some winters when we lived just south of Chicago. Don't let the frost bite hoodlums get ya

Hard to believe but yes, there is a block heater. It's listed in the 'Manditory Canadian Equipment'. I've never seen it that I can recall, but I'm sure it's tied up under there somewhere. Fortunately my baby is tucked away in the heated garage at my other house.
