Default Canadian Corvette

I am thinking about buying a used Vette that was originally sold in Canada, now it’s in Washington but can anyone tell me if there is anything different about them other then the window sticker being in kilometers? Thanks in advance.

in past when the u.s. cars came here, the daytime driving lights feature had to be enabled. Big picture - they're all made in the same plant

Daylight running lights and different bumper reinforcements depending on years. No differences worth worrying about.

I small advantage IF YOU ARE INTO FLYING MILE SPEEDS is the 320km speedo which when switched to miles would give you the ability to read above 200mph unlike the US speedo which tops out at 200, but then again you need some mods to get the HP to get above the 200mph mark. Also you will probably be too busy to pay attention to the speedo.

... but the HUD goes above 200 MPH, and so do the timing slips! Easy to convert tach RPM to MPH also.
