Default Wingtip to Wingtip - Mirrors

Anyone know the measurement of the car - with the mirrors extended and not extended? It looks like the mirrors swing out quite a bit in the Z51 video. Curious because I have a one bay garage in an old house. Also, does anyone know how the power mirrors function? Is there a switch override to keep them in the stowed position?

It doesn’t matter really. With 495hp and a gentle press of the throttle you can make it fit anywhere.

Thank you.

Taking this one step further, does anyone know the width with the mirrors folded?

I'm guessing it's standard GM that has been around for years. The mirror setting switch is on the door. You put it in "neutral" (between left and right) and press "right" to close and "left" to open. You don't need an "override." They will stay closed if you want. This is available in 2LT and 3LT only. To me this is crucial. I now pull in the driver's mirror in to get into the garage with the C7. With the C8 being slightly wider overall this feature will be a welcome addition. Just another "push" way from a 1LT.
