Also, if you don't get Hill Assist, you can make your own with the electronic Parking Brake. In fact, in the Corvette owners manual in the section on the e-parking brake they specifically mention this. One of the advantages of the e-parking brake is that it lets go as soon as the rear wheels start receiving power - no more driving away with the parking brake on. The Corvette owners manual mentions that if you are stopped on a very steep hill and aren't sure that Hill Hold Assist will keep you in place long enough to get moving forward, you should apply the e-parking brake. This will hold you in place for as long as needed, but will immediately let go when the rear wheels start to move.
