Raiti's Rides When you say ignorant things like that it makes me think you’re probably a sexist, homophobic, privileged white male!!! As a trans gender, trans race person I can tell you I’m highly oppressed in this incredibly backwards country!
C-7 Corvette definitely has a sweet spot in my heart. I'm with you good MANAGEABLE power. Most of the time you are going to be driving the car on CITY streets. You don't want to kill yourself or God forbid someone else. Thanks for sharing Joe.
My dad has a Black 2015 Zo6 and i remember when he called me and had me meet him at a store after he purchased it. The first thing that came to my mind was " Batmobile " ! He's very close to getting the C8, but he's patient and the Zo6 is still turning heads when he brings it out ! That Grand Sport looks vicious ! 👍 ✌
To be honest Raiti, I would take the C7 over the C8 and its not over the performance but its looks, function and nostalgia. The black you have in this video is just angry looking. For the $$ you are definitely correct on this one.
Curtis Gallagher I COMPLETELY disagree. The C8, looks better (imo) is much faster and has a beautiful interior, much better than the old one. The interior is where you’ll be spending most of your time, so it better look nice, which it really does in the C8. On top of that it also has super car performance
I saw this video a little over 3 years ago. And ever since I’ve been rubbing my quarters together, dreaming of owning a corvette. And two days ago, I finally drove a 2000 c5 manual home with my father. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and shows me that dreams really do come true.
Im with you. I want to like the C8 but I find myself trying too hard. I keep waiting for it to grow on me, but it's not. It's close but it's missing something. Hopefully the C8 GS and Z06 make those tweeks.
It took me a year to come around to the c8. I saw in person on its first stop after the reveal and I was like the porsche turbos gt3s and c7z/ zr1s in the parking lot look better than this! Interior was a different story. Now I feel the c8 looks better over base c7. At least the c7 (if I'm not mistaken for the c8) can be put into neutral without a $600 tool and taken apart some of the frunk if the battery is dead like in the c8!
Just a minor correction, the front bumper cameras are for parking, the Performance Data Recorder camera sits on top of the rear-view mirror, top of windshield.
I’m with you... the C8’s are nice...but LOVE that C7 GrandSport....never thought about one of those....might be my retirement car in 22 months and 23 days
In an effort to boost sales, GM goes back to front engine for the C9, then mid engine for the C10 again, then back to the front for the C11 and so on. Customers are seen burning corvettes in the street.
I'm sure now is a great time to buy the C7... since most people won't want them compared to the C8. The C8 basically turned the corvette into an exotic supercar- a supercar at a pricepoint that the middle/upper-middle class can actually afford.
Only 2 zonks...outstanding! I have a C7 Z51 and would love a GS as well. Going to keep a lookout for one to add to my garage as they get traded in on new C8s.
Thanks, Joe. My favorite of all Corvettes for the balance. I bought a 2019 GS last year, and I track it, and love it. However, you got a few specs wrong...it offers a 7-speed manual (you said 6), and it weighs 3450 lbs (you said 3600), and the front rotors are 14.6" (you said 15.6"), and you referenced Z51, which is a package for the standard Sitngray, not Grand Sport. I also wanted you to point out and show the rear hatch area...it's huge. Another advantage the C7 has over the C8. You can fit four golf bags in the hatch of a C7. Great for long road trips, too.
@@scottbarker9058 Settle down, tough guy. You're WRONG. 3428 is for the stripped-down base 1LT. Joe reviewed a 2LT, which increases weight to just over 3450 lbs. I should know, I own a 2019 GS 2LT. Do you?
My humble opinion; front-engined corvettes are the only way to go. That Grand Sport is far sexier to me, than the C-8. I'll take any make or model north American sports car to be perfectly honest, but the Corvette is just above everything else. Keep the reviews coming! Have a great weekend, Joe and Vic!
Excellent video Joe! Your consistency to produce high quality and professional ride reviews is inspiring! I must also give a shout out to your camera man! He always does a great job! You both make a great team! Thank you for what you do! Be blessed!
Love your reviews,I had one and it was beautiful,I love vettes I just can't ignore the fact that GM is not backing there loyal customers,bending rims and engines blowing,cylinder deactivation,z06 over heating,its not fair to the crowd that loves and supports this vechicle,you either do wright by people or you dont....GODBLESS and take care sir.
As I've said before in your vids, I bought a 2016 Z06. It is phenomenal. The Grand sport would be awesome too, for the reasons you stated. I like the looks of the C7 better than the C8. Much respect for the C8'S performance.
Hey Joe. My c8 blew the heck up. The manager is my friend. He took the c8 and helped me buy a grand sport. Best part Joe. I get to row through the gears. I think it's better looking and it drives better than c8. The c8 has nicer interior...who cares! I am happy the c8 blew up😊. Love your videos Joe. You are by far the best car reviewer. Plus I know you love yo row too!😊
I have an 18 GS. I've never had a more attractive car in my life. When I bought it, it was parked right next to a black C8. Mine looks better. Waaaay better.
I have a C7 2019 GS just like this. I love it. The only issue is GM put poorly made wheels that crack easily. I've already had to replace 3 wheels. Basically expect to buy aftermarket rims. The cabin is also very loud. Buyer beware.
The GS is my favorite C7. I was very disappointed to find out the C8 will not offer a GS model. Of course the C8 Z06 is going to be equipped with that new flat plane crank V8, so it's without a doubt going to replace the C7 GS as my favorite Corvette. Can't wait until it's here, and you are able to review it.
Hello Joe got the Grand sport it took some time from our last email.I purchased 2019 With only 1000 miles on her awesome ride just like you called it thanks Don
So my dream Vette was a Grand Sport and still is, however, I love my 1LT 2019 C7. I just got back from the mountains of N Ga, Tail of the Dragon and TN and it is my 4th sports car to take up there. It was by far the best car I have driven up there and I could only imagine how much better the GS would have been. Sadly I couldn't afford one when I got my Vette but I still got a Vette and that matters. I still plan on getting a C8 in a few years though.
Actually going to look at a 2019 Grand Sport today. Decided the wide doors of a C8 won't work in my garage. I've got about 30" next to my car for entry and the doors are hugely wide and when open any allow about 8" for entry to car.
Awesome upload Raiti. This is my former favorite Vette. Really like the 460HP Grand Sport. Z06 is it for me tho, I enjoy the C7's more than the C8 still 🤔 Maybe im stuck in my ways 😂❤️🌎 Much love from HTX
I bought my 2019 Grand sport last November with 5081 miles on it, also at the same price point, and its everything you sad it is! The only difference i got was then artic white with the adrenaline red seats...I can't even tell you how many comments I have had....!
It’s still an amazing machine which has dated relatively well even with the refresh zo6 c8. Definitely worth it and it’s a corvette at a bargain as well
I love my 2017 Grand Sport, but any discussion about the 2017-2019 GS or Z06 should include information about the wheel issues (cracking and bending) they’re having. I went to after market wheels because I didn’t want to have to think about it.
@@BojaneBugami That’s the question, isn’t it? But Car and Driver also had lots of wheel problems when it tested the car: www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a23705281/2017-chevrolet-corvette-grand-sport-reliability/
It’s is amazing how this division of GM can actually make a beautiful car that is detailed perfectly And mechanically sound . I know they are limited compared to others I spent years in loaner cars , while all my Cadillacs broke down regularly. If they put just a touch of this craftsmanship .I would have been content
No. The model which will be most sought after in years to come is the 7 litre (427) Z06 which I bought. No superchargers, no turbos, no gizmos....just pure American muscle.
I do love the C7 design over C8. My buddy has C8, great car, but something about that batmobile looking C7. I really am going to try to get one soon..manual of course!
@@RaitisRides I got about 2 minutes into the video and a 2 and 4 year old interrupted me. I will finish watching tomorrow and I will watch the F430 video too. The F430 is one of my all time favorites 👍👍👍
NICE COVERAGE..I RECENTLY GOT AN 18..WITH THE 8 SPEED AUTOM..IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN MAKE IT SHIFT QUIKER WITH THE PADDLES....IT HESITATES WAY 2 LONG..ALSO IS THE MANUEL MORE RESPONSIVE??
Also that camera can be used in valet mode🎥 they decide to go joyriding.. little do they know you can record any non-restricted Driving!! You eating Dinner at Your favorite restaurant.
I'll be curious to see if there'll be a 75th anniversary edition in 2028. That Gran Sport is what I'd spend my money on. Even Randy Pobst said it's the most usable Corvette. Best balanced as far as power and handling.
Those were the two cars I was looking at and eventually decided between. I've owned 3 Mustangs, worked for Chrysler for nearly a decade and a half and have a house decorated in Viper GTSR propaganda. I've never owned a GM in my life, and the GT350 seemed like the shoe-in choice if a Viper GTS couldn't be found in my price range (spoiler alert- it couldn't). In the end, I bought my first and only GM and picked up a gorgeous Corvette Racing Yellow 2017 manual GS. The GT350 is a different kind of awesome and exotic in its own way, but the brakes on the Vette, the targa top, the "my asscheeks are inches from the asphalt" driver position and the gorgeous styling barely won out for me. It's a true driver's car, and is really fun to push around yet isn't near as compromising for regular use as I though it would be. Really great cars, both of them.
I would rather prefer the grand sport over the Z06 just on fact that the grand got track tuned suspension and a wider wheel base along with wider wheels I can sacrifice 250 horsepower for agility.
I honestly prefer the C7's looks over the C8's.
I feel the same way!

I've never owned a GM in my life, and the GT350 seemed like the shoe-in choice if a Viper GTS couldn't be found in my price range (spoiler alert- it couldn't). In the end, I bought my first and only GM and picked up a gorgeous Corvette Racing Yellow 2017 manual GS. The GT350 is a different kind of awesome and exotic in its own way, but the brakes on the Vette, the targa top, the "my asscheeks are inches from the asphalt" driver position and the gorgeous styling barely won out for me. It's a true driver's car, and is really fun to push around yet isn't near as compromising for regular use as I though it would be. Really great cars, both of them.
Might as well get the z06, their used prices are around each other
I rather have the Grand Sport
No the zo6’s are about 10k more
Love it! Which has more power in your opinion, the Vette you just drove or the Challenger scat pack wide body?
Love this review thank you for sharing
Of course Bryer! It is my pleasure!
Again well done Joe! Now that we have the C8 I appreciate the C7 Grand Sport with a manual even more.
Thank you so much for saying that and letting me share this one with you!
The video recorder is behind the rear view mirror in mine, and two cameras up front are for curb avoidance. Did they change for the 19?
I would rather prefer the grand sport over the Z06 just on fact that the grand got track tuned suspension and a wider wheel base along with wider wheels I can sacrifice 250 horsepower for agility.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't the Grand Sport have the red chevrons on top of the front fenders?
My landlord let me take his red beast for a spin today, so happy
2019 GS 2LT, 7SP, Glacier White.
this is my next corvette coming from a 1993 ZR-1 I will do a head and cam package then it will be perfect...
