C8 Z06 Observations #1 - Driving Experience, Mileage, Washing, Trunks, Sound, Grill Guards...

First observations and learning experiences. Driving feel [mainly tour mode compared to Stingray], trunk space [no different from Stingray] but now I have the convertible, sound [which you probably have heard plenty about the sound], and few more things.

Thank You!... to GM for making this wonderful car with the LT6!!!

I have owed a 2020 C8 Stingray, 2016 C7 base, 2005 C6 base [ heavily modified], 2000 C5 base. Therefore, I do have some depth of knowledge about these cars.

Drive experience: sound, stiffer, feels very good in tour mode. The break in of 1st 500 miles is normal feeling. Afterwards you will feel more power. Gas consumption is not good, but if you drive conservatively you can do relatively well for a supercar. Regular tour mode driving feels much like the Stingray. The width of the car also affects your driving when it comes to pulling into tight spaces. Cameras are a must; they really help. Backing is a little bit different as well. If you drive big trucks you will adapt just fine.

Washing the car is fine. I hand wash. The convertible is SO much easier. Having Carbon brakes is also very nice; less brake dust.

Other topics are trunk space. These spaces are plenty good for long trips for my wife and I. Just remember that the rear trunk get HOT. Avoid putting chemicals, wax/resin items, etc. in the rear trunk.

I don't say much about grill guards. I have had 3 prior videos about these. Recently, I found 2 vendors for Z06 guards. An option for spending money on grill guards, or anything else, is to use the "My Chevrolet Rewards" for this type of purchase.
