Hello. I work as an engineer at the vette plant where these are built- when you remove your top from the trunk you should grip AT THE Connecting points, where it snapped into the plastic holders. do not grip from the middle.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I just got a 2024 Z06 and used this video for most of the knowledge. I saved this video to rewatch in the future. Thanks so much for making this one video.
Good job on this very thorough lesson! just picked up a used 2021 HTC Z51 w/1,300 miles on it, and I’m trying to absorb all of the tech features of this awesome vehicle. Your video was a great primer. Thanks!
Your video is very good and detailed. I already ordered my C8 2023 and now waiting . Thank you so much for your experience and I learned from you a lot through this video…
Finally got my C8 and went through the car with my salesman and others at the dealership. Spent most of the time declining extra coast items and services. Got home and used your intro session to set up my cars features the way I wanted. Saved me a ton of time and effort. Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO. I will save this video on my phone so I can use it while setting up features on my C8. This is one of the most useful car videos created on RUclips. No fluff.....just "how you use" the dang thing!! LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
Thx awesome job,explaining all the details, you are a pro,forget about all the stupid comments about everything else, this is youre car you do with it whatever u want,period.
I would love to say thanks for this video. I just purchased a 3lt Z51 C8 Monday and didn’t buy it from a dealer. The sales person at the super car dealership had no idea how to use the cars features... this taught me everything I needed to know.. Thank you!
This is the most in depth how-to video on this highly sophisticated car I've ever seen Mike! The dream for my wife and I is to own one someday from you! Glad your dogs didn't fetch and run off with your remote!
Very good video... Most comprehensive video I've seen.... 2 things some people dont know. Pull and hold both paddle shifters when in drive and you can rev the engine( temporarily disengages the clutch) . Let the paddles out and back in drive. Also when driving in manual mode you can pull and hold just the left paddle( downshift paddle) and the car will drop to the lowest gear for that speed. This would come in handy if you were cruising in manual mode in a high gear and someone rolls up on you and wants to run.
enjoyed the video. I work as a host at the corvette museum and am learning all the features for my deliveries and am using this to help me learn. Thanks for doing this.
Awesome in depth video on how and where everything is on our C8 Corvettes. Just ordered my 2023 yesterday and can't wait to get and drive it home to mess with all these features.
Thank you so much for this video...... There's so much on this car I'm going to have to use this like a Bible. I like the way you filled out The Times tables..
IMO, One of the best and most useful Vlogs ever!!! I’ll nominate it for GOAT Status! I was sorry to see Mike go off to the private sector. A very talented salesman and his cometary on the inside information of the automotive industry was very beneficial to many of us. A wealth of education passed along to those of us willing to listen. Good Luck in perusing your dream! Hopefully you can land your own franchise some day!
Just watched your 2hr instruction video. I have a 2019 so many things did not apply. I just purched a cadillac ct5 and found it helpful for that one as well Thank you Mike Rick from FDL WI
Thank you CHEVY DUDE. Lots of good info for a new C8 owner. Appreciate your time and effort. And 323K subs... You're kick'in that other sales guys butt!!!! Keep it up.
This was a fantastic video. I bought a 21 c8 and it should be delivered in about a week in Hawaii. Can’t wait to get it all set up. Thanks again for the great content.
Chevy Dude great in depth review on the C8. I just built my C8 3LT Z51 fully loaded hypersonic gray with upgraded $2500 rims. Can’t wait because for MSRP it’s worth every penny and I’m going to drive this mini type super car on road-trips and just enjoy it.
Hello, your video is excellent. I just bought a 2024 Corvette Convertible. Although things are set up a little different in the infotainment center, I used your video to get familiar. One minor thing you missed was the windshield wipers. I was waiting for them to turn on when it rained but I had to lift up the handle. I thought that was so funny when I figured it out. 😂
Hi Mr. Chevy Dude, my sweet husband passed away this year so I bought a corvette. Out of ignorance and much grief missing my husband I pain way tooo much 😳 The car is awesome but I would have absolutely no idea how to drive this my granny speed. Thank you so much 🙏🏻💞
SUPER VIDEO! 👍🏼 Covered a lot of ground/info, more than GM’s video series. I learned some stuff & reinforced others. Thanks for tip on memory card, I have a Mac. I’m @ 3000 waiting for my C8 to be built. BIG THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS!👏🏼
I have my car now and needed this so bad. I'm watching this over and over again. Do not know how to turn off radio. I see others have the same problem. How do you turn off the radio? Others are putting it on mute. Pushing and hold the button is not working.
Outstanding video. I have been to 7 dealerships in Cincinnati to look at different C8 inventory used/new and four of the seven dealers I went to the sale people knew almost nothing about the car. I spent more time waiting around for salesmen to find keys...really you have cars on the lot an no one knows where the keys are. At one dealership I took a 30 minute test drive of a 2023 70th Anniversary C8, came back and the salesman had left for lunch. What a sorry state of affairs. Just a total lack of professionalism and lack of training. Good news the dealer that I chose received an allocation for a 2024 Z06 Convertible the day I walked in and I received notice today that my order has been accepted and a production date coming soon. Thankyou for the detailed video...other dealers should watch this video and learn from the master.
I am currently working out specs for a 2022 model. 3LT Z51 unless Z06 makes it out of the conference room. This video by far showed me why I needed. what. I need to add the battery tender option but for planning your video is the best for explanations and use. I live in Bowling Green about 1 1/2 miles from the plant, the Museum and the Track. Thank you for your time and the professional presentation.
wow. I sat in one at the dealership when i had my Silverado in for a recall.or was it a Camaro. Camaro's and Corvettes are to claustrophobic for me....but it sure is a great looking vehicle. I had a 1989 Pontiac Firebird w/full ground affects, I loves it, never thought I would be driving a full size truck.I'm so over sport cars, But you never know, maybe one day.
Dude! That's a bad ass C8 that you have there! Love the interior colors also... and how sweet it would be to have a pic of yourself driving like that. Love it! I recently brought my C7 Z06 in for service... and Chevy had dropped off the new C8 Z06 for a day. I posted a walk around video on it.
@@ChevyDude That's cool. Not ready to place an order yet. Looking at next spring at earliest for delivery. Just making contact and would love to see the car up close. Bringing my youngest son (huge car guy) and father-in-law. Made an appointment through your website. See you at 2!
I love that I can use the key fob to take the windows down, makes taking the roof off easier, but incomplete! I can’t find a way to put them back up without entering the car which would make putting the roof back on a little easier.
As it is now, when I’m done w the car for the day, I put the roof back on, I like the windows to be down when I do it so I don’t risk bumping the glass cracking it or dropping the roof. Once it’s back on, I have to get back in the car, start the car (at least electronic start) to get the windows back up. If I had the key fob control, I could skip the electronic start and sitting down in the car (and standing back up, which ain’t easy at my age)
Appreciate the video; I've referred to it several times as needed. One point if not mentioned yet by anyone else: you said the Z51 package has the 2 tow hook spots but all C8 stingrays have them, including my 2020 w/o the Z51 package. Thanks again!
Fantastic video. In PA, but if I decide to try to get a C8 ZO6, maybe we can do a future deal. Bought a 2009 Red Crystal Tintcoat Z51 Corvette as a retirement present to myself. $58,500 sticker as I recall, but got around a $7,000 discount when dealerships were trying to stay in business due to a significant downturn in the stock market. Just turned over 6,600 miles. One thing I regret is not driving it as much as I should have. Really enjoy your channel!!! You are a very talented person and enjoy your work and I thank you for the service you provide to us.
@@nickbiagini7979 i'm guessing its for attention, but dang it look like something from the 90's. Its hard on the eyes and very busy. But I have to say I love the blue interior OMG. Love the car.
This video is phenomenal! Your video ultimately help my wife operating her new C8. Thank you very much! Hope you can share us about the rev matching feature of C8. We can't find in you tube how setup the rev matching in c8.
That hours of idle meter is cool , I'm thinking for resell in later years , some can't be like oh it's only got 10000 miles but then you can see it's edled for 700 hours or somthing
Great video! Only comment is that oil level is checked with the engine running. You intimated but did not actually say it. Really appreciate all your information.
How about a similar video on a loaded Blazer RS? or a generic delivery walkthrough or PDI that customers should expect when buying new from their dealer?
oh Look... Oh Boy! the Clown Car !!! sorry... i just can't help myself! i guess besides you there might be someone out there that likes the wrap! just messin with ya! i appreciate all you do & intel you bring us!!!

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
The following additional items might be good to cover, sometime:
- Shift paddles
- Lifting points
Absolutely the best C8 2020 video. I learned a bunch of 'little' things . Thanks!
Best video yet for 2020 Corvette owners. You’re the best!
He truly is the Chevy dude
Can’t believe I watched the entire thing!
Very Good!

I just love how the doggo is chilling
You have no idea how helpful this is for a new owner. I use it as a reference resource regularly. Thank you!
This is the most in depth how-to video on this highly sophisticated car I've ever seen Mike!
The dream for my wife and I is to own one someday from you!
Glad your dogs didn't fetch and run off with your remote!
Thanks for making the video. Just picked up my C8 and you saved me a lot of owner manual reading. Have a great day!

BEST C8 Video by FAR , I’ve watched it many times , Thanks Chevy Dude
Hi dude, just bought a 2024 C8 And I gotta tell ya how thankful I am for the work you put into this video. It really helped me out.
I dont have corvette but ill watch this again in the future i promise
Just picked up my C8 HTC from the museum. thanks for making this video
Awesome in depth video on how and where everything is on our C8 Corvettes. Just ordered my 2023 yesterday and can't wait to get and drive it home to mess with all these features.
Had my 2022 c8 for a year now, video showed me things I didn't know.
Thank you so much for this video......
There's so much on this car I'm going to have to use this like a Bible.
I like the way you filled out The Times tables..
I just bought a C8. I am so happy to find this video. Fantastic explanation of everything. Great job!
Wow!!!Great info. I won't need to waste anytime with the dealership having to explain my car to me when it arrives next month!!!
I just received mine w/h all options at 3lt $114,235
and I've been looking for a tutorial like this thanks
I'm only 21 and I have no regrets
IMO, One of the best and most useful Vlogs ever!!! I’ll nominate it for GOAT Status!
I was sorry to see Mike go off to the private sector.
A very talented salesman and his cometary on the inside information of the automotive industry was very beneficial to many of us.
A wealth of education passed along to those of us willing to listen.
Good Luck in perusing your dream!
Hopefully you can land your own franchise some day!
Just watched your 2hr instruction video.
I have a 2019 so many things did not apply. I just purched a cadillac ct5 and found it helpful for that one as well
Thank you Mike

Thank you CHEVY DUDE. Lots of good info for a new C8 owner. Appreciate your time and effort. And 323K subs... You're kick'in that other sales guys butt!!!! Keep it up.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate you taking the time to put this together,
This was a fantastic video. I bought a 21 c8 and it should be delivered in about a week in Hawaii. Can’t wait to get it all set up. Thanks again for the great content.
Just picked up 3LT Rapid Blue today; your videos on the channel helped make the sale.
Congratulations on your new C8! I’m sure you will love the car as much as I do.
Chevy Dude great in depth review on the C8. I just built my C8 3LT Z51 fully loaded hypersonic gray with upgraded $2500 rims. Can’t wait because for MSRP it’s worth every penny and I’m going to drive this mini type super car on road-trips and just enjoy it.

This video: 2 hours

ADD ONE MORE HOUR CHEVYDUDE!!!

Look forward to watching this in its entirety after work. By the way, coming out to see you Saturday to talk 2021 convertible. 😉
make sure u stay safe at work
i'll be here after 12. not much info to give since GM hasn't given us any info.
@@ChevyDude That's cool. Not ready to place an order yet. Looking at next spring at earliest for delivery. Just making contact and would love to see the car up close. Bringing my youngest son (huge car guy) and father-in-law. Made an appointment through your website. See you at 2!
Sweet. Finally a locking gas cap. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully I’ll get mine in a year or less

I love the wrap, looks sweet. The blue interior looks sweet to, the navy and royal blues. This C8 definitely stands out from the rest. Good job man!
I’m ready for my 2021 C8 allocation Mike! Thanks for the videos.
We gonna have to kidnap him seems like
Best knowledge based video you have made to date on the C8!!
Great start video for anyone that has a C8 coming... hopefully I will have mine by late August. Good job... THANKS !
Thanks mike, good job and answered many questions for my 2023 z51htc . I’m digging for ESLD answers, how bout a vid on that.
Now a video like this is definitely interesting and one to archived. Simply because I got the video before the C8. But it won’t be long 😃😄😃😆

Excellent video walk through, get mine on Wednesday and you made my life way easier, thank you.
Now this is a review. There's no point for anybody else to do a review. This covered everything.
Thank you. I really appreciate those kind words
That wrap makes me moist sir.
That's all, carry on
I guess to each his own. In reference to that wrap. Yikes. 🙄
I just don't understand that choice. At all.
JonH3234 Horrible...even as an attention seeking device
Agreed...it's hideous.
@@nickbiagini7979 i'm guessing its for attention, but dang it look like something from the 90's. Its hard on the eyes and very busy. But I have to say I love the blue interior OMG. Love the car.
I like it!! It’s different I love the blue!
This is like an ikea paper and Lego instructions video in one
I'm in Houston west of the Mississippi and I get 93 octane all the time. At least that's what the pump says.
Love the videos keep the upgrades coming just bought one now 😎
Thank you so much. Just picked up the C8 from the dealer and they did not show us anything. Kisses to you....
Glad to help!
Excellent tutorial ! Thank you for the detailed walk thru.
The wrap reminds of the show saved by the bell 😝
I watched the whole thing 🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳😳💯 it was entertaining 💯👌
Nicely done, very informative. I have the exact same c8 rapid blue 3lt z51 mag ride with the front lift. Jet black with rapid blue interior
In the words of Col. Kurtz (Apocalypse Now), when he saw the wrap job.....the horror.....the horror.........
Thanks Dave I watched every minute and learned a lot.. well appreciated
Thanks so much for the Chapter locations! Really helps in a long video!
This video is phenomenal! Your video ultimately help my wife operating her new C8. Thank you very much! Hope you can share us about the rev matching feature of C8. We can't find in you tube how setup the rev matching in c8.
This is great, I just had my C8 delivered yesterday...
Im in love with corvettes &
Victor Racing parts for vettes, you need to check them out!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time
Just because you can wrap it, doesn't mean you should........
Great job! Thank you for saving me a bunch of time. Safe travels!
That hours of idle meter is cool , I'm thinking for resell in later years , some can't be like oh it's only got 10000 miles but then you can see it's edled for 700 hours or somthing
You are a fine American Dude........... And your better half is even a better American Dudette......
ur 1st
at first i disliked your wrap.. now it has grown on me. rock that shit homie. you have a C8, i don’t yet. who cares what i think.
Great informative video! Worth my time! So many options on the dash that I’m certain I’ll have to play around with it awhile.
I love that blue interior!
Great video! Only comment is that oil level is checked with the engine running. You intimated but did not actually say it. Really appreciate all your information.
Well done Mike! Great video! I’m waiting for RHD for Australia. Best Peter. Down Under
Excellent Presentation!!! Thanks Man!!

How about a similar video on a loaded Blazer RS? or a generic delivery walkthrough or PDI that customers should expect when buying new from their dealer?
Very informative, thanks rather see it than read it.
I won’t be able to sleep tonight thinking of how crowded that garage is. You need a new home with more garages!
oh Look... Oh Boy! the Clown Car !!! sorry... i just can't help myself! i guess besides you there might be someone out there that likes the wrap! just messin with ya! i appreciate all you do & intel you bring us!!!
Great video Mike as usual. Thanks
