The 2023 C8 Corvette was still within its break-in period when the valet indulged in a joyride that exceeded GM's recommended RPM limit, potentially voiding the warranty
The owner of a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray thought he was leaving his car in good hands when he parked it at a valet at the Birmingham airport in Alabama. However, when he returned to pick up the car, he quickly discovered that one of the valet employees had taken it out for a joyride. Unbeknownst to the valet driver, the Corvette owned by Tim Scherer has been fitted with the optional Performance Data Recorder that includes a dashcam.
The worker drove the car at close to 60 mph but it is the way it was driven that has really concerned the owner. Given that the C8 has just 300 miles under its belt, it is still within the 500-mile break-in period where the engine should not be revved beyond 4,000 rpm. At least that's what GM officially recommends and forms the basis for their warranty, as pointed out by TheDrive.
