Does a C8 Convenience Feature Help Thieves?

The C8 Corvette is one of the most sought-after cars, with some models having a wait time of over a year. Despite the high demand, theft rates are very low—less than 0.1%. This rarity is due in part to the low demand for used parts and the car’s robust security features.

The issue arises when the car is left running and unattended. While there might be places in the USA where this practice is still safe, they are becoming increasingly rare.

This vulnerability is not unique to Corvettes; it applies to all cars. However, Chevrolet has an additional feature that comes into play. If you turn off your Corvette without the fob being present, the C8 will allow a one-time restart without the fob. This is intended as a safety feature for situations

GM St. Catharines Propulsion Plant

It is being reported that General Motors, like other carmakers, is scaling back some of its ambitious electric vehicle (EV) plans due to lower-than-expected customer demand.

The latest delay involves GM’s St. Catharines plant in Ontario, Canada, which was set to produce over 400,000 EV drive units annually. This shift was intended to transition the plant from manufacturing the profitable Gen 5 V8 engines and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) used in the C8 Corvette.

However, according to The St. Catharines Standard, these plans have been postponed due to slower-than-anticipated growth in EV demand. Despite the delay, GM assures that the transition to EV production at St. Catharines is still in progress.
