New car, low miles, low redline

Driving faster
Close to hitting 500 miles traveled, minimal display of Tach alone, with Redline 4500

Seconds later rev counter changes to Redline 7000
I found it too fussy and the many options included many I didn't want and few that I would have chosen. I have a question too -- does the V8 need to be there, or does it change to V4 or V6 if the engine puts a few cylinders to sleep? In the few thousand miles I drove I never noticed that.
And yes, the Corvettes are large in the hips, and fat around the waist (doors) compared to my Lotus Elan and my 1953 garage
