Default C8

Hello all,

My name is Chris and I am an Australian that lives in the US> I moved out of NYC and down to Atlanta in early 2021 and managed to get y hands on a 2021 custom built C8 3LT Z51. man what a car!

Beyond happy with it and will not be the last Chevy I buy. Particularly impressed with the nav system given I am used to being on the other side of the car on the other side of the road and in a brand new city where they drive like maniacs.

Welcome to the Forum, Chris, and congratulations on your C8!
We used to drive I-85 through Atlanta on a regular basis and agree with you it can be challenging.
