The entire undercarriage is a engineering marvel.
Many mechanics have a long list of disapproved makes and models that make it difficult to repair and maintain. Many parts are hard to reach and can be difficult to replace. It’s not that cars are becoming more difficult to maintain. But, those who spend the cash on a new 2020 Chevy C8 will not have any trouble changing out their oil.
A new video by Roadshow shows us under the 2020 Corvette C8. Josh Holder, Corvette’s program engineering manager points out the interesting parts of its undercarriage. It’s not very attractive – the undercarriage is flat and covered with panels. However, there are two cutouts that allow for easy access to the oil drain plug or oil filter. It doesn’t take much effort to remove the filter. Weekend wrenches won’t have any worries about oil leaking all over the place, or having to reinstall the panels. Chevy Engineers kept the undercarriage closed to allow the air below to move freely.
This reduces drag and increases downforce, which is a win-win situation for both performance and drag. Holder points out that rear brake ducts allow owners to install an elbow conduit connecting to the lower control arm. This helps cool the brakes. The suspension lift system can raise the front end about 2 inches. The suspension lift system can save the location of your suspension lift use so that it is available for future reference.
The mid-engine Corvette was introduced by Chevy one year ago. The interior quality of the car was awarded an award, something that has not been the best in the past. We’re just getting started on this Corvette generation. The Z06 model will pack a powerful performance punch and we know this. Details about it are already beginning to leak.
