C7 knowledge
I didn't realize how LITTLE I knew about the C7 Corvette until I bought one! This car is amazing! Driver mode and dash mode choices are incredible! I could not be happier! So different then my loved C6!

So true. I found today that a non nav car will show the next turn, and miles to that turn on the info screen and the DIC when using OnStar Nav. It will also have a bar that fills in as you get to the turn indicating when you are on target. Pretty neat in my old feeble mind.

I've had mine since 7/12/16 and with 5,500 miles on it I'm still learning. Amazing technology and car.

I have only had mine for a week and the amount of things I have discovered about it is amazing. I have read the owners manual twice. I have gotten lots of info from this forum as well. Keep the info coming.

This forum is an amazing place for any Corvette owner for whom the car is more than just another appliance just to get from Point A to Point B.

Definitely lots of things to learn with the C7 - the technology just keeps getting better.

Glad for you. Owned my 2015 Z51 for a year now and recently discovered a nice feature I will pass along FYI. I knew the sound of the exhaust changed as you selected different driving modes. i.e.. tour, sport, track. I like the louder and more aggressive sound when in sport mode but I drive around town in Tour mode which has a very mild exhaust sound. I discovered you can go into settings and driver modes and actually set the exhaust sounds for the car independent of the driving mode you select. Select sport for louder exhaust sound but drive mode can be in tour. Pretty cool. This forum is great. You can also find helpful Utube vids. One I like is the Louisville Chevy Corvette guy who post useful info about Corvette features from his dealership. Enjoy your car.

It's also handy to download it as a pdf. The pdf is searchable.
But please note that not everything is documented in the owner's manual.
That's where the forum is truly invaluable. And it is searchable too.
You'll find a lot of stuff in the forum that is not in the owner's manual but should be.
