C8, engine temparature
C8, engine temparature-- took 4 miles for me to get up to 174 degrees. Appears to be plenty of cool air at 46 degrees outside temp.If that's normal temp its a lot cooler than the C7.

I have to guess you're talking coolant. My '19 Z took right at 4 miles yesterday @ 65* to reach that temp also. Oil took ALOT LONGER just to reach "punch it temperature"

Jeez, that's cold out! No big deal with the C8, though. My stock C5 I drove daily for a few years has always been much the same; I've never paid any attention to my C7 I've had 2.5 years since I never drive it when that cold. You apparently do not have enough experience with your car to judge much of anything, yet (4 miles). Patience, Grasshopper. 
Enjoy and be well!!!
