The “5 Things I HATE About My 2021 CORVETTE C8” is a trend on YouTube like taking your exotic or supercar to Carmax to get a quote and “5 Things I Like/Love About ….” whatever a automotive YouTuber has.
Check out this video by YouTuber “Jaysmizle” where he recorded a Chevrolet Dealer service technician took his car that was in for service over 15 miles and over 100MPH!
He had to bring it back to them after having other electrical and frunk issues and he has about 3k miles on it per his other C8 Corvette videos explaining his experience so far with the car.
Per his C8 video description of the service tech taking over 100MPH:
This video definitely hurt to make….PLEASE hit the like button for more people to see this! I reviewed my PDR because I noticed it had a lot of extra miles on it and what I saw was infuriating.. What will GM or Chevy do about this?? THANK GOD the police/CHP didn’t stop this guy for driving recklessly and impound my car for 30days.
Check out this video from Rick Conti on What to expect, What’s Included, and When to do the First C8 Corvette Service and oil change.
One really nice thing is GM (General Motors) pays for the first C8 Corvette service.
Here are more videos on how to change the oil on your C8 Corvette if you decide to do it yourself. The DCT filter bolts has to be screwed in at 53 inch pounds torque spec.
Check out this video from Stangkilr Productions on YouTube where they add a Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Paragon Performance new C8 Corvette lowering springs for that tucked in look.
In this video its all about my C8. We install an RSC Tuning carbon fiber spoiler, some Paragon Performance lowering springs and repair some damage from getting rear ended!
Check out this video from The Stradman where he recently purchased his 2nd C8 Corvette so he can add a Pandem Wide Body kit and C8 Corvette build project.
From the Pandem Wide Body kit website it looks like the whole C8 Corvette Widebody kit is $7,000.
Check out this video from Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, Florida where they modify this C8 Corvette Convertible with carbon fiber front splitter, carbon fiber side skirts, carbon fiber mirror caps, Forgiato wheels (20/21 set up) and a Corvette racing front hood decal.
The only thing left to do is lower this Elkhart Lake Blue C8 Corvette Convertible so it has a better stance and no wheel gap in the wheel fender area.

Check out this video from Rick Corvette Conti which shows you how to get into your C8 Corvette if your battery is dead.
First, you need to tap on the side button on your key to get to your emergency key. Then under the side rear quarter section of the door vent.
Then you can turn the key to the right to access the car and access a manual frunk release where the battery is. Then behind the brake pedal there is a loop you will notice and you need to pull that twice to gain access to the frunk and battery area.
Luke Pressel, Corvette Service Specialist at Criswell Automotive, demonstrates the process of gaining entry into a locked C8 when it has a dead battery and the door will not unlock without power. Use the manual key to access and unlock the vehicle. Remember to keep your trickle charger connected this winter.
Check out this video by Great White North Corvette as he shows two different ways to open your C8 Corvette glove box if it stops working all of a sudden as it did for him a few times.
This can especially be helpful if your pulled over and the glove box stops opening all of sudden. You won’t have time or the tools for the first option but the second option of banging on it a bit while you push the button could work.
Check out this video by Brink of Speed on YouTube where he shows you how you can turn your 2020 C8 Corvette into a 2021 or 2022 with Apple Car Play.
The device is called CarlinKit and can be found on Amazon. It will turn your 2020 C8 Corvette into a wireless Apple Car Playing machine.
The one feature that was added to the 2021 Corvettes that I really wished the 2020s had, is wireless Apple CarPlay.
Check out this step by step video on how to change your brakes, (front and rear brake pads) on the C8 Corvette.
Per AB’s Garage video description of the C8 Brake Pad Change
In this video we do a front brake pad change on a 2020 C8 Corvette with the Z51 performance package. The new mid engine platform has brought the Corvette to the next level but from my experience working on this current generation, they are still relatively easy to service. That being said, hopefully you find this video still very helpful!
Also, here is another video by Paragon Performance where we purchased our Girodisc Rotors and Carbotech 1521 brake pads for low brake dust.
Change out your extremely high dusting brake pads on your C8 Corvette Z51 at home with only a few simple tools! We walk you through, step by step, on how to change your front brake pads. The Carbotech 1521 is a very low dusting and low noise compound that we highly recommend you change out if you like to keep your car clean and improve your braking.
KNS Brakes also created a video to show you how to change your brakes on your C8 Corvette.
The 2020 C8 Corvette includes a laundry list of firsts–including eBoost brakes. In this video, we provide an overview of the C8 Corvette braking system and then show you how to change the brake pads when the time comes.
It’s a little bit different than maintaining a traditional brake system, so there are certain tools you’ll need and a specific order to follow. The C8 eBoost, or brake-by-wire, system offers some distinct advantages. Specifically, the system allows you to adjust the brakes, depending on what driving mode you’re using.
Our C8 Corvette has already seen significant track and Autocross time, so we’re ready to swap in a new set of pads.
