  • 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.

      I'm with you my friend, have a '19 Z06/Z07 LZ3 Artic White with Torch Red interior and chrome wheels, it attracts more attention than my Porsche Turbo S. I love it, but I have to admit the Porsche is twice the car, but also twice the money.

    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.

    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.

      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. Save the Wave🙋🏼‍♂️

    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  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 4 ปีที่แล้ว +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  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

      I greatly appreciate your input on this. I will certainly keep it in mind! For the time being, I spent 50 bucks and installed the mild to wild switch. At least this way I can have the drive mode in whatever mode I want but still have the exhaust valves wide open! I even figured out a pretty sweet spot to install the remote!

    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  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    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.

      @darylfletcher5164 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
