This is new C7-version of the Corvette Grand Sport. It’s the one that slots in between the “standard” Stingray ‘Vette and the badass Z06. Honestly, it’s the one that’s probably the most fun to drive since it has all the chassis tricks found on the Z06 but with the easier-to-handle engine of the regular version.
Now, that “easier-to-handle” engine here is the Corvette LT1 V8 that pushes out 460 horsepower. And I’ll be handling it at Atlanta Motorsports Park.
So what do you want to know? I’ll get your questions answered as best I can later on after I spend some time with the car.

But are they world-class cupholders?

They are …alright.

As long as the write up doesn’t drift off in to Cobalt parts bin and portly gentlemen that have no use for seat bolsters in the first place, it will be good with me.

Am I too late? I really was curious how long those tires will last before you hit the belts during a burnout.
