The 1LT seats are about the same as the standard C7 GT seats if you've sat in a C7 before. The seat frame is almost the same between the C7 and C8.

The GT2 seats are similar to the GT1 seat but use a higher density foam that is noticeably firmer. I had them in my C8, but after driving a 2LT at the NCM track with the GT1 seats, I think I’d save...

The gear noise was almost like an on/off switch at 61-63 mph and not something you'd cover up with the radio. You could modulate it on and off with your right foot. I could see drive ability...

Unless you're on a dealer's order list at 3000 or above, you may have a tough time getting one in 6 months. The C8 is an improvement over the previous generations in every area, but as time goes on...

I wanted it gone after I heard the noise and knowing it wouldn't be fixed. I'm still a fan of the C8, but it shouldn't have gear noise.

They could probably estimate the day if they know when it is was shipped based on past deliveries. The delta between 4000 and 4200 is the biggest variable after it is built. I'm at 4000 waiting on...

Before you break out the torch, if the tightness is in the foam, I'd consider having an upholstery shop soften it up. If you drill a grid of holes in the foam pad in the firm area, it will soften it...
