Texas Lone Star Regional

Mike,, I don't expect to ever own any C8 Corvette, let alone a Z06, but, there is this new fangled thing out there called AI. I asked AI where the battery is on a 2025 Z06 and here is what I learned....
The 2025 Corvette Z06 (C8 generation) has its main 12-volt battery located in the front trunk (frunk). To access it, you must first open the frunk by pulling the release loop twice from inside the cabin, then remove a central plastic panel and two side trim pieces to reveal the battery underneath.
I dug a little deeper and asked about losing settings if battery is disconnected and AI said not to worry, only the windows need to re-indexed.
So, I think your OK,
And, I love this AI thing.

Thanks, you saved me some time looking through the owners manual!

Mike,

FYI - read there are remote control battery disconnect devices available for C8's.

Thanks, after watching the video of all the panels that have to be removed and put back on to even get to the battery, remote control would be the only practical way to do this.

I have been watching this developing, so my concern is getting the gas tank level to below 1/4 as well as the battery disconnection. Will have to do some talking with Roy or someone as to what open judging is really about? I have been talking with some corvette owners (most have C7 or C8) here in my town about our show. They mainly will do one day shows (Sat) with no interest in having their car inside from Thursday to Sat. afternoon with motel costs.
And don't forget the frunk: if someone closes it with the battery disconnected, you will have to get into the car to pull the cable to get the frunk unlatched. As well as using the key to manually unlock the car door if someone locks it by mistake. Keep the top down may be the solution.

I drove my C8 to the Glendale Regional in May and put it in Sportsman. It not too hard to manage the 1/4 tank if you watch your mileage. In Glendale, there was an exemption for C8s on battery shutoffs. I think that could be done most anywhere if they try.

Michael,

FWIW, sorry, but the International Fire Code which all indoor venues subscribe to does not provide any exemption for C8's.
