This guide, which is 36 pages long, covers every option and feature available on the C8 Corvette.

We learn more about the many customization options available as the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is made its way to dealers across the country on its debut tour. We don’t need to rely on presentations anymore thanks to the Motor1.com reader. Jumping over to gmfleetorderguide.com, you can actually download the mid-engine Corvette’s complete order guide, and we do mean complete. This PDF contains 36 pages and lists all items, as well as whether they are standard or optional.

Corvette Summer:

A lot of this information is already available from the Corvette playbook, but this order guide has 36 pages and leaves no stone unturned. Although the pricing information is not updated in the guide, we did find some interesting takeaways after poring through it for over an hour.

Base Model Is Well Equipped

GM claims that the C8 Corvette will cost less than $60,000. Automakers often advertise a low starting price for their vehicles, but it is usually for something that almost nobody would buy. We are happy to report that the base Corvette has many features. Chevrolet’s 3 Plus infotainment system features the same 8-inch touchscreen as higher-spec models. The Bose sound system provides the music. We found only minor differences in upgraded models, including more memory for in-car apps and nav systems, as well as 14 speakers rather than only 10.

The base Corvette also has power seats, remote starting, a rear-view cam, rear parking assistance, and basic safety systems such as traction and stability. The 2LT level will get you the most advanced features, such as the head-up display and front and rear cameras and the front lift system. A base Corvette is still a stylish car with lots of power.

Mode Teen Driver

Teen Driver Mode, which is a standard feature, allows for customization of certain vehicle settings that are associated with key fobs. The fob can be programmed to make sure that various driver assistance systems are not turned off. It also monitors driver activity and creates a “report card”, which can be reviewed by the owner of the “Vette”. This feature is available on many vehicles, but it’s probably best known as a valet mode that keeps would-be joyriders in check. It’s a bit funny that GM markets this instead as something to “coach your new drivers,” since people use it all the time to turn a supercar mid-engined into a teenager.

495 Horsepower without the Z51 Performance Package

The Z51 Performance Package is well-known, but you can order some parts separately. This includes the performance exhaust system. This order guide estimates that the exhaust will add 5 horsepower to the Z51 Performance Package. This is in addition to the 490 base horsepower figure we unofficially heard at the C8 unveil. You can still have a sub-three second 0-60 time if you don’t purchase the Z51 package. The ZR1-matching acceleration at lower speeds is due to the car’s performance rear axle ratio with shorter gearing. This package only offers this option.

Customization Galore

The greatest thing about the C8 is the almost endless amount of customization it allows owners to create. We’ve seen many seat and wheel combinations, exterior trim options, exterior color options, and even paint colors for brake calipers. There are many color options for seatbelts and interior stitching. If you don’t see the right combination, there are two options to override that let buyers choose from the wide range of available colors and trims. You can also choose to have a museum delivery, or get a personalized plaque that includes your name and VIN.
