Even though the Grand Sport is the mid-level Corvette model, garnering a $6000 premium over the base car, but costing significantly less than the purist Z06, it's still an absolute performance bargain, with power, braking, steering, and grip that need make no excuses to any six-figure import. All Grand Sport models have wider tires, thanks to the same wider fenders as the Corvette Z06, narrow spoiler, bigger brakes and a stiffer suspension, and a hood scoop. Exterior changes also include front fender badging and some additional fender slits.
The C6 Corvette is generally awesome, and the Grand Sport trim makes it even more so, with its fairly subtle but cool styling touches and modest performance upgrades, and is definitely worth the price premium.

Man. This is a wet sump car. It's a automatic. They never made a C6 GS with a auto and Dry Sump. Also, the placement of the dipstick to measure from the oil pan and not the RF fender mounted reservoir, tells you that it's a wet sump. And the fact that the battery is mounted in the front instead of the rear. You got a Z06. You should know that.
Wow!!! Do you deliver?
$20000 less than Z06?!?! In what cartoon movie?
Clean 2010+ z06 gonna be at least 50 even more with carbon package
Love the music
Even though it's a cool car... There's no replacement for displacement. The LS7 still has a 0.8 gap over the LS3. It might not be a lot, but it definitely does make a difference
Pinned
If only the LS7 was more reliable.
@@sonik954 How many LS7 you know that had dropped valve?
Not in the real world it doesn't.
@@shone19080% has dropped valves
The one your showing doesn't have the dry sump system
Yes the only reason I didn't was the interior on the C7s are better
If you're running your C7 Z06 in track mode, you'll feel a lag. If you are running in sport mode, you won't feel the lag.
Z06 aluminum frame will lead to the car being totaled if its damaged in a crash, you can fix the gs. Dry sump in the gs is only available in the manual tranny version
Most of these types of cars are done after a big crash. Just gotta do everything you can to keep them from that 🤷🏻♂️
Like to replace the LS3 with the LS7 and have the open air experience.
Music is annoying
They made less manual gs than z06
C6 ZO6 vs GS? Same people who would take a Civic SI over a Type R! Lol 😆. The aluminum frame and displacement(LS7) is a major difference. Only thing GS has over the Z is automatic transmission option for the people who don't like shifting.
Also, the GS has a removeable top and the valves don't drop in the LS3.
@sonik954 don't care for a fake convertible and less hp? Head cams and intake. Let's not act like it's not on the to do list? Unless you are a boomer New Balance camping chair 💺 owner.
@@rickvang7313 I'm not knocking the Z06. They're great cars. I'm just acknowledging the Achilles heel of the LS7. It'd suck to get a new car and immediately have to tear into the engine and replace the heads. GM should've admitted the manufacturing defect and issued a recall. Crate LS7's ain't cheap.
@@sonik954 How many LS7 had dropped valve?
@@shone190all of them.
Dude sounds like Blippi haha
This guy has zero clue what he is talking about... he said the ls3 also comes in the zr1 lmao
That's technically true: The ZR1 engine is an Ls3, with added supercharger to be the Ls9.
this guy is lame
The way he said "Z 5 1 package" made me click off the video so fast lmao
Wtf is with the music. Couldn't even listen to what he was saying
Aint no grand sport worth it over a z06 you tripping
Yes it is, for the targa.
C7 plastic fake exhaust sounds lol feels slower its why I got a c6 instead. . Could of got a c7 c8 wack looks like a ferrari.
Sit down boy🤣 you got a C6 cause you couldn’t afford a C7. C7 doesn’t have any fake exhaust noise lmao You’re thinking of the last Camaros.
Lol right a c7 ain't it dude. All talk wheres your vette or viper or etc? Nomas hablan por hablar.
@@gabegarcia4741 no mames guey, entonces porque andas chingando que el C7 sucks lmao te crees muy muy con el C6. There’s no reason to hate on the C7. All you C6 fanboys are the same lol just wait till the C7s get cheaper, lots of you are gonna jump ship. It’s a Corvette too lol don’t give me that “c6 was the last true corvette” bs either lol why cause it doesn’t have four round taillights? I got a C7 GS and it’s great lol I could’ve gotten a C6Z for a little less but I didn’t want to deal with the valve drop issue and a car out of warranty. In my opinion the C6 looks a lot more bland and the interior is ridiculously cheap looking. Those LS7 aren’t cheap if you blow one. Stock for stock, all variants of the C7 are faster than the C6 variants. Yeah the C6s weigh less cause those cheap Chevy cobalt interior parts don’t weigh anything but they also got less power. But I agree with you the C8 is wack
@@gabegarcia4741 I got a C7 GS. Just don’t appreciate all you C6 fanboys swearing your Vette is the best. Undeserved hate for the C7, why cause the taillights aren’t round? Lmao Better keep an eye on those valves before they drop inside your “bulletproof” LS7🤣 Mira quien habla. Have you ever driven a C7 Z06 or Zr1? Do you really think they are shitty cars? From factory they will dust you and your cheap interior. Yeah the C6s are light but that’s cause the interior is all cheap plastic. Cual fake exhaust? No seas menso😂
@EJleon96 c7 is nice but it's not raw dude. And it aint no 7.0 even with its head issues. And c7 looks like camaro back end. Are they nice sure. Just c6 looks cleaner in my opinion and getting more rare
$20000 less than Z06?!?!? In what cartoon movie?
