Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (C7) specs

Fastestlaps please fix the name so that it shows up with the other Grand Sport Models

@FastestLaps does the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 ZP tyre warrant its own page?

Skidpad should be close to around 1.19 g (edit: never mind, I see that it states 1.18 g). It would be a competitor to the Viper ACR, instead of the Z06 and ZR1 being competitors to that car, had the engine of this one been crammed to around 7-7.4 liters with 650-700 horsepower. But the C8 Z06 with the Z07 package, I personally see as even more of a late-blooming ACR competitor.

C7 Z06 = R35 NISMO and R8 V10 Plus competitor
C7 ZR1 = 991 GT2 RS and 488 Pista competitor

@FASTESTLAOS please change the main picture to the one I provided down below,
Thanks

If I had to pick a C7, I'd most likely go with this one. It may not be the fastest, but it's probbaly the most nimble and fun to drive

@FastestLaps please change the main picture to this,
Thanks

@fastestlaps please change the name to:
Corvette C7 Grand Sport

I'll put mine in economy mode and send you a postcard of how the weather is at the finish line ????????????????????????

You "AMG" warriors... Good luck if you have to turn the wheel. Come take a swing at a Z06 and pick on someone your own size. German junk.

When an E63 AMG S can beat you in stock trim by a full sec in the 1/4 mile your "sports car" is shit !!!

When a 911 GT3 is slower than a C7 Grand Sport. Yeah, money well spent.

Anybody familiar with a 2010 Grand Sport LT3 with 659 horsepower, there was only 87 made??

Please add the Grand Sport laptime

Jim Mero (Corvette Test Engineer) recorded a Nurburgring lap time of 7:27
Check out his website. He recently retired and is offering MRC upgrades.

is there any Nurburgring lap time for the Grand Sport?
i m not able to find the time test....

the 0-100kph seems about 1 second slow (on auto)

Dragstrip monsters

162mph Vette and 177mph Viper that can outlap Europe drawstring monsters except on an oval lol.

Buttonwillow is a track about an hour or so outside Los Angeles. Lots of track times/videos posted for this track to compare. This is running the CW13 configuration.

@FastestLaps Yes, the aerokit from the Z06 reduces the topspeed from 290 to 260 kph.

Does it really have 260 kph top speed? Some kind of weird electronic limit for EU market?

Or is the gearing really that aggressive to limit it at 260 with 7 gears?

Measured curb weight by sportauto is 1585kg.

please change torque to 465 Ib-ft

Fact is the grand sport has a better sorted chassis too, and is it lighter? That's what turns me off about the Z06. It's unacceptable that the cheaper corvette handles better.

I somewhat agree, its basically a ZO6 with 200bhp less and a 200% chance less likely to kill you, But i think thats a lovable reason that the ZO6 has. The GS is a few quid cheaper, But hey if you have that extra go for it. The fact thats its a ZO6 and just has that power, Is enough to sway alot of people. If you want a Corvette, Get the Z51, If you want a Corvette with even more Oomph, Get a GrandSport, If you want just a Bad ass Corvette thatll kill everything and possibly yourself, Get a ZO6.

But that Hockenheim time is damned amazing, As every lap of this car, IMO, Corvettes are hands down the most impressive cars you can get, Period. But i have noticed, When it comes to Chevrolet, Ever since 2011, I felt like they were trying harder, And given more attention and time to the Camaro, And not there most iconic car, And they also dont seem to be expanding there lineup, Its just Corvette and Camaro, Wheres Mercedes has like 4 new different models every year, 83425276352 versions of the 911, Even the Mustang...

This car makes the Z06 virtually useless. In the real world, you can push this car around everywhere faster. And best you don't need to worry that it'll overheat.

If you want an easier commuter, there's always the Z51 pack version.
