Upcoming owner with questions
I've got a sold order in my dealer's system (Peoria IL) and I'll get the second allocation they get. Hoping that'll happen in Feb and maybe I'll be driving my car in May. I ordered a 2022 Caffeine Metallic convertible LT3 Z51 with Morello leather interior.
So here's two unrelated questions.
What is the steering wheel rotation lock to lock? Are you folks having any trouble with the square-ish shape? Part of the reason I'm asking about wheel rotation is I play the Project Cars 2 simulation and it has a C7.R I've been driving. I know C7 and C8's are different animals but the wheel rotation shouldn't be that much different.
What is the "center stack"? I've been reading the owners manual and the center stack is mentioned all over the place but no picture of it is shown. Sometimes it seems to refer to the info display to the right of the steering wheel. Other times to the hvac system and it's long row of buttons between driver and passenger. I'm confused!
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

The ONLY time wheel lock to lock would come into play is at 2 mph in a parking lot, doesn't apply even with sharp 90 at an intersection. If the manual is referring to both the touch screen and HVAC controls, the "wall of buttons", maybe they view the whole middle area as such. Once you're in the car it all makes sense. With those colors, it will definitely be a one of a kind car.

Can't find any specs on lock to lock, but it seems comparable to my C7. The steering wheel shape isn't an issue. The first couple of times I was doing really tight turns in parking lot situations it felt weird, but after that no biggie. And at normal driving speeds not a problem at all.
The one thing I don't really like is the position of the spokes. I find them too low, and preferred the spoke location on the C7. Again, not really a big deal.
