First time on the channel-great review of the Grand Sport although I'm a bit biased as I got mine in December. Already had it on track and it is amazing. Got it for heavy discount with Heritage pack, black rims with red stripe, PDR (a must for track) for $67 K. Z06 power is too much for the street and most people won't handle it on the track either (kudos to the fee who can). GS is just right and awesome for everyday use except for all those people eyeballing me. Sooo many thumbs up when I drive it. Watkins Glen next

Hey Brian, great review and love the cuts. Quick question regarding the view, it appears that the front fenders are way to high and if your vision was obstructed at all. it feels that you see a lot of the hood and fenders, compare to other sport cars that give you that full front view with minimal obstruction. thoughts?

@rdoogie71 7 жыл бұрын

Another quality review. I'm really enjoying this channel. This car was right in my wheelhouse lately as I considered it, an M4 w/ comp pack, an AMG C63 Coupe, and a 718 Cayman S. At the end of the day, I chose the 718 Cayman S as I LOVED the quality inside and out and (most importantly) the overall balance of the car. The new car will be a third car, so storage, etc... wasn't as important. Sadly, I would have like to more highly considered the Grand Sport but of the four Chevy dealers I visited, not ONE allowed a test drive of a new C7 (based, GS, or the Z06). A common them from the sales reps was, "sir, we don't allow test drives of the Corvette because Corvette buyers don't like to have any mileage on their cars." Shame on you Chevy, shame.

@BrianMakse 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Typical old school stealership behaviour. You won't be disappointed with the Cayman. Did you catch our 718 Boxster first drive video review? I also drove the 718 Cayman S at the same time, great car.

My apologies for the typos and errors. I'm posting via my mobile at the moment. I meant to say I did see your review of the Boxster in Austin along with the Cayman reviews of the other two. Anyhow, it would appear you, me, and Farah see the same barber (so to speak). Ha!

No worries, I totally understood. Speaking of typos, I just did one of those - booked entirely the wrong flight. This hair cut is a massive time saver, isn't it? The last barber I visited was in Grand Junction before filming the Flyin Miata. Great bloke.

@zacharybornhoft8081 7 жыл бұрын

For the kind of money they charge for a grand sport you could honestly buy a base to mid level Z06. Might as well just go for the Z06. Your not using all the power on public roads anyway and you don't have to push the engine as hard with all the extra power and torque. To each their own but that's how I honestly feel about the grand sport. Nice car overall but you can get the Z06 for not that much more and way more power.

You say it's an easy car to drive and anyone can drive it so do you mean someone who has never driven a 400+Hp car can get into it and hit the gas and be able to handle it or do you just mean at cruising speeds?

@BrianMakse 7 жыл бұрын

+Leslie Izumi it's not faster, but I think it's a more approachable package for the majority of drivers than Z06.

@lizmyers469 6 жыл бұрын

Leslie Izumi Because nobody needs 650 HP, your tires on a Z06 will last you maybe 3k miles, For a 15k price difference you're better off saving it spending 5k for a Chevy ProCharger and making your GS faster than a Z06.

It's highly disenguous of chevy to claim that only 5% of Z06's had the overheating issue - as it's that 5% of owners who actually track their cars. The Z06 is known to overheat when tracked. They remedied this on the new Camaro zl1 by adding 11 heat exchangers. They haven't done this on the z06 yet.
