  • Like a fine wine, the latest C7 Corvette only seems to get better with age. With the latest addition, the 2018 Grand Sport promises to be the best handling model to date. Expect to see the halo ZR1 return to the lineup sometime next year and perhaps even see some exterior and interior tweaks before an all-new C8 is released.

    That actually makes me want a convertible. And I really like the subtle silver... nice balance. But a Corvette is the raw brutal car that I'd rather have with a manual transmission.

      Are you kidding? Have you seen a similar year 911 in person? Beautiful cars that exude class and style.
      I'll admit the c7 is the best looking vette yet, and the only one I would ever consider maybe buying pre-owned and thrashing it for a year or two. But it looks gimmicky next to a Porsche.

      911s look like melted jelly beans. At least the vettes have that proper axle to dash ratio, giving it some nice proportions.

    At 20:31 when it goes between 3K-4K it sounds a tad bit reminiscent of the LFA note around the same RPM range. Sounds absolutely heavenly!

    2017 Grand Sport absolutely has an automatic lock function in the settings. Mine locks 10 seconds after you close the door. Either yours wasn't turned on in the settings or they eliminated it for 2018.

      @foh1fog2 Před 2 lety +1

      Yes you are correct I also have the 2017 model an as far as i know this is a standard feature on all C7 corvettes. If the reviewer had simply gone thru the menu it is a VERY simple thing to set DUH .

    Great and honest video. I would definitely get a bit nagged by that rattle. I tried to fix the weatherstrip on my Z06 and got so "into it", I ended up cracking a body panel. You really have to do as one salesman once told me, "crank up the radio, stomp the gas, and enjoy the car", or microscopic flaws about the Corvette will make you insane. If you have to have every body panel perfect, buy a Mercedes or Cadillac. They have that stuff nailed.

    Correction for you (4:02)...Grand Sport has magnetic ride control standard on ALL Grand Sport models. With the Z07 performance package upgrade, you get re-calibrated (stiffer) mag ride settings. But non-Z07 GS cars still get the mag ride, standard.

  • @user-xw4hn7lb3x
    @user-xw4hn7lb3x Před 6 měsíci +1

    A secondary cat delete, ported throttle body, and a tune already puts my GS at 500hp. The tune made a huge difference alone. These cars are really dialed down from the factory. Hell, Power Enrichment doesn't kick in til 5000rpm and 77% throttle from factory. Now imagine PE kicking in at 2000rpm, 0% throttle, increased pedal sensitivity, and torque limit settings removed after a tune is done. Pretty much have full power on tap. My car is no longer 'street friendly'. Probably why GM had a mild tune on the car. The only thing keeping me somewhat disciplined is the cost of rear tires and fuel. 😆

    @TheMW2informer Před 6 lety

    I am so lucky to have a LS block, I'm only 16 have a $55k 2008 1500 ext cab Sierra Denali with the 5.3L engine, it will tow a 5th wheel and do 0-60 in 5.8, I have a performance tune and bolt on's, I probably make 330hp and 350 torque in a pretty light truck, it will EASILY spin it's tires and may be dangerous slightly w/o stability/traction, as while turning hard at 30mph, if you gun it the back WILL kick out badly, but it is surprisingly easy to control, and my custom performance exhaust makes it sound AMAZING! I have put it into a ditch while trying to do a corner drift while stopped, i hit it maybe 75% throttle, it lit the tires up and then it rotated into a ditch, slammed against the bumper, NO DAMAGE AT ALL, Chevy's are built tough alright, and it is SO EASY to drift!

      He also got the passive door unlocking & locking wrong. You just have to make sure that the passive feature is turned on first in the settings. Vettes have had passive locking/unlocking at least since the late model C4s from the early to mid-nineties. No need to press FOB buttons.

    @georgiafan6618 Před 6 lety

    $94k without the ZO6's - 650HP motor - tough sell. I've seen ZO6's sticker lower than a Grand Sport. You can get a Vette discounted like few other nice sports cars toward the middle and end of the year. Perhaps a base Vette Z51 - 2LT - swap a cam with some head work and you're driving a very fast and manageable car with no hit to the Insurance like a ZO6 could. May be able to tighten up the shifts with a performance tune. Overall very good review!

  • @dbehr27
    @dbehr27 Před 5 lety +2

    All due respect, while I give you credit for a thorough review, you said so many things in this review that make me think you should be reviewing Honda Civics and not sports cars. Like, the car's a few inches wider. How does that make it harder to drive on "tighter roads"? I drove UPS trucks for a while - no, this is a car not a big delivery truck. Toughen up my friend. :)
