The speed and ease with which you can remove the two-door convertible’s retractable hardtop of the Chevrolet Corvette C8 usually grabs attention – this time, it’s the key that got Supercar Blondie excited.
Once the top is removed and stored neatly in the trunk, Alex Hirschi wants us to hear the engine roar.
However, rather than climbing behind the wheel of the car, it turns out she can start the engine remotely.
Simply hold the lock button on the key fob, then immediately press and hold the remote start button for about four seconds, and the Chevrolet will roar into life.
