Don’t hammer on it for a while, the owners manual will lay that out for you. It may seem lackluster at first but around 250ish miles it will wake up.

What's worked for me has been to accelerate slowly, no too speed runs for a while and to stop every so often to let it cool, no heavy loads or towing for a while.


Allow the DCT metallic parts mesh in seat properly. True work the differentials and drivetrain .

As you may know, the new C8 has a DCT. The designers say no full throttle shifting thru the gears at first to allow the metallic surfaces and clutches to seat properly. It can shift in milliseconds and when it's broken in properly, longevity should be much greater. I don't have any facts to prove this.... But I would not be surprised if the tranny cost is greater than the motor.

Good luck you're in a new dimension.

Thanks for all the love, will upload some photos when I get it this weekend!

I know there has been Discussion about this but I’m still looking for clarification and also not sure if the change tires in the newer models effecting the height.

what is the stock height of a 2020 700-4 deluxe with a hard top roof. Please help to ease my mind.

garage door is 82” at the lowest point.

I called a friend with that setup and he said he thinks it's 81.5 inches at the highest point.


See what others say.

Good luck.

The 700 doesn't utilize a DCT transmission; it has a 3 speed with a torque converter.

When i got my 2014 700-4 i drove it like i was going to drive it. Its a honda keep water out the oil and intake and make sure the oil is a little over full and drive it.
