It took the whole weekend (almost 20 hours for the both of us), but the result was worth it.

And also it's mentioned that fitment: 2005-2013 ALL. With way bigger font. There's the confusion.

I'm not convinced that the block heater by itself would be the answer. Even when using the 0W- oil. I'm basing this on the videos of different weigh oils in the cold. None of them "flows" anymore....

I'm not worried about the weather. I've driven my Vettes in the cold so long, that I know that they'll do just fine. They warm up fast, since the cockpit is small, the weight distribution is perfect,...
