Agreed. ALL cars have markings on the chassis of where the lift contact points are. The are indicated by a chevron/triangle. It is an SAE requirement to mark the chassis in such a way as to show where the lift arm pads are supposed to contact the chassis.

This is just improper training in general, and not specific to the C8. The lift in question is a Rotary and looks like an asymmetrical SPO-A10, which is the same lift I have. The lift comes with a training manual and a spotting plate for the floor. Cars less than 94 inches in wheelbase locate the front left wheel behind the spotting plate. Between 95" - 104", the wheel is spotted on the plate, and any thing above 105", the wheel is spotted in front of the plate.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
