New C8 corvette

@AlexJag Speaking of all this, I just saw that the CARB finally passed the "NON-OEM TUNES FAIL SMOG" legislation. What are you going to do about that?

Yeah, I don't know the way they would discover such a thing.

A year later
Well guys just a little update. I picked up my C8 on 12/04/20 with 3 miles on it. Took it in for my yearly NYS inspection and I have 15,300 miles on it. As I've said in past posts it's not a smooth as my XKR was but it is still pretty comfortable to drive. I've taken 2 major trips which were both around 1500 miles and had no problems driving at 4 to 10 hour clips. Pretty much a pleasure to drive and still a unicorn in most areas I have visited . As for maintenance I've had the GM 7500 service (at 6,000 miles ) and a 2nd oil change on my dime ($140) with the dealer. One recall on the front lift oil fill cap and 2 software updates. I use the car daily and just put on my winter all season tires. MPG on major trips was 31 mpg at 80 mph. Only hit triple digit numbers once and it felt like 50 mph. So all in all car has and is still fun . Played my last round of golf yesterday and at 41* all of the courses in my area are closing. I'll be heading south for some golf weeks sometime in 1st qtr. next year. So enjoy the holidays and get out there and drive. Life is to short to save the car for the next owner.
