Actually, the Gran sport accelerations time is not accurate. The times wrote here are the C7 base model. Because of a bit more aero and larger tires, the Gran sport is a little slower than that. 12.3-12.4 at 116 mph to quarter’s mile.
Good job by any means.

Brakes and lateral acceleration make it faster by a small margin

Obviously the Grandsport is the faster track car.
