  • C7 Corvette Z06 vs C7 Corvette Grand Sport | Why I Bought MY 2017 Corvette Grand Sport
    In this video I take my 2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport on a drive to the grocery store and share why I purchased my C7 Corvette Grand Sport over a C7 Z06. The 3LT Interior and the black paint with red accents was a big factor.

    1 thing. Insurance premium (for us 30 ish year olds) in California at least. I pay 800 a year for the non c7 z06 full coverage. Low miles. A c7 Z06 would be around 2500 a year. Add the 20k price premium plus interest (for us poor folk that finance cars)... all that money i didn't spend went in my pocket and I still have a sick af fast triple back c7 vette. 😍 and she's paid off already :) on to the next one.

    Like you, I really wanted a Z06 but wasn't willing to compromise on all the options I was looking for and an optioned out Z06 just wasn't in the budget. So last year, I picked a 2017 Admiral Blue 2LT GS instead. I swore I wasn't going to sink too much money into it in terms of mods as I eventually want to get a C8 but so far I am not doing a good job with that. 🤣

    • @Team512
      @Team512  Před 3 lety +1

    The N/A Vette in the track body is perfect. I chose GS over the z06 and had budget for the Z. It's the same car....just depends on motor. If u want more lower for whatever...do it up. Buy to me the N/A was perfect. Can really get on it and has loads of power. Added upgraded cold air intake and full Corsa extreme exhaust system...and it's the perfect spot for the chassis and sound.

      @@Team512 I appreciate the detailed response. I have been saving up for my Z06 for the past year and I'll be ready to put down half here in a few weeks. I want to start out the gate making high-quality content - I'd be thrilled if I can get my channel to grow big enough to pay for insurance and tires. I have a Canon 60D DSLR and 2 GoPro Hero 8s. I wish the DSLR filmed in 4K, but it's too old. Do you have it suction cupped to your passenger window and a "deadcat" over a microphone? So you were using your GoPro in the grocery store too?

    I have a 2019 GS convertible. Love the car so much! Have thought about possibility of adding super charger at some point, but for now very happy with the stock performance. Do you have a specific super charger in mind for yours? Curious what you are thinking. BTW, my car is 3LT as well, and I can completely relate to what you are saying. I absolutely LOVE being inside my car! Be safe out there!

    • @Team512
      @Team512  Před 4 lety

      The 3LTs are something special. I didn’t really understand it until I sat in my GS for the first time. I’ve been around and around on a supercharger. At the end of the day, I might just go with an LT4 blower from a Z06. I like the stock look, the moderate power output, the price and just like a top mounted PD blower over the centrifugal blowers. 550rwhp is perfect for the street. Although, like you, I’m enjoying the stock performance as well. Especially with the AWE exhaust. Stay safe.

    • @tjjungers
      @tjjungers Před 4 lety +1

      On the exhaust topic... So far, I am super happy with the exhaust notes that the stock exhaust puts out. In your opinion, does upgrading the exhaust really make that much of a difference? Like I said, I love how the exhaust sounds stock, so I find it really hard to believe that it could be improved that much (but I know there are a TON of people out there that do it, so apparently so). Just curious your thoughts and comments on that!

    • @Team512
      @Team512  Před 4 lety

      The stock exhaust note is very good, and I liked the NPP functionality. Although I found myself keeping the exhaust in 'Track' almost exclusively. After touring the AWE HQ and riding in their Grand Sport equipped with their Xpipe and Touring Axle Back I knew I had to have it installed on my car. If you are happy with the stock exhaust, keep it. But at least in my experience, adding the AWE system has woken up the beast! I enjoy driving the car much more now. It feels like it pulls harder (butt dyno I'm sure) and breathes better. But the biggest gain is the smile on my face when downshifting and hearing all the pops and burbles. Oh yeah, banging through the gears is much more fun!

      Me too Scott. It is with a sad pen that I scratched out my April 4th note/reminder that I had on my calendar in big BOLD RED letters as to us all gathering for the first Meet Up of the 2020 driving season. I was pushing hard to have my Stage 2 Mods completed and it was done! Now with the current environment we're in, I've decided to continue on with Mods Stage 2.5. Maybe I'll ask Matty to do a short upload of a walk around of Ms. Ruby so you can get an idea of what's been done. Maybe you, Justin, Dave, JT and Matty can come up with an idea as to how we can all do electronic Meet Ups through the wonderful World of Wizardry. We could start with everyone just submitting pics to you and you could announce a specific upload date to watch where you run through/show everyone's submitted rides? You could even do a "Judged Show Meet Up" where you guys are the judges!? In the meantime, I already have Mods Stage 3.0 on the drawing boards, but I would be totally satisfied of not being able to implement same until late fall because we'll all be too busy meeting up with one another.

    You have a great platform for modifications and you will love everyone of them; however, saving money in buying a Grand Sport over a Z06 to have money to modify it is only part of the picture. It takes quite a few mods to equal the Z06's performance, but the difference will come when you sell it, a pristine stock Z06 will draw more money than a modified Grand Sport of equal performance.

  • @HorsePowerObsessed
    @HorsePowerObsessed Před 4 lety +1

    Beautiful car. I'm really considering a c7 gs. I'm thinking slightly used (under 10k miles). However, after watching all the c8 videos of people racing them right off the lot, I'm kind of skeptical about buying used. I don't wanna get something that may have problems later on due to not observing the break-in instructions. Thoughts?

    • @Team512
      @Team512  Před 4 lety

      Thanks man! My advice is to look for the lowest mileage, non-modded C7 with service records and a warranty if you're concerned about previous owners. It doesn't guarantee the car wasn't abused, but gives you a better picture. I'd also suggest looking at the tires. If they were replaced, did the previous owner "cheap out" or did they replace them with the factory Michelins or something comparable. Then look at the basic wear items, including the clear coat. If it's they're in great shape, then the owner may have taken care of all aspects of the car to the same level. The C7 drivetrains, especially those with the M7 are very strong in stock form. You could also consider a pre-purchase inspection from an independent shop to give you more confidence. They are incredible cars. I hope it works out for you. Stay healthy!

      The good thing about these new transmissions with the paddles they are idiot proof. Normal driving just shift up around 2k. Learn from there. Downshifting to a stop light just tap it once or twice you'll feel the engine as the rpms shoot up and you are slowing down. Either shift up or down the computer will not let you if it's not efficient for the motor or the transmission. So you will not hurt it by playing around.
