I've got a dry sump GS, I thought I read somewhere that the cabin filter was really hard to access, is that true? Any links or pics on how to get at that filter??

Literally a 1 minute job in the wet sump.
Battery's in the trunk in the dry sump, huh? I can't imagine the HVAC boxes are different. I'm sure someone here's got a good method. Surely will coincide with an oil change!
I keep 3-4 in stock at any given time and pop a new one in each spring when my 2009 comes out of hibernation after a long winters nap. Some years it's full of crud (straw & hay), just depends on where I've been the previous 12 months.
About twice a year I make a point of running mine up on the ramps and inspecting the front of the radiator after I found a plastic shopping bag plastered to the radiator. Reason I looked was the car was running a little warmer then normal.
I think of Corvettes as bottom feeders. They ride low and source their air near the roads surface where all sorts of debris lurks. Anytime I run over paper, plastic bags etc. I always watch for it to emerge and not come along for a ride. Also picked up a shopping bag in the front suspension when I pulled over after one appeared behind the car ahead of me and then disappeared.
As for the cabin air filters, they are cheap and easy to inspect and change as necessary.

On the dry sump system, the lines are in the way, so it's a little tricky working around them, but still a very easy job, just a few minutes.
Just flip up the 3 clips you see in the photo, slide out the old filter, slide in the new, then secure the cover again with those 3 clips.
I use this filter, available from Amazon for about $15.00...

Awesome! I'm going to go check mine right now. Thanks for the reply all!
Mine looked like that as well. I was reading the manual after bringing mine home and didn't know it had a cabin filter. Went out to the garage and found out the original didn't not know either.

This is what happens when you store your 'vette in a barn all winter...

Me too, so inexpensive, quick, and easy, why not?
