Larry C7 Grand Sport

C7 Corvette Grand Sport

Prior to now, I was blessed to have three Corvettes at different times of life - a C4, C5, and then a C6. After a stint without a nice performance car, I bought a 2017 1SS Camaro. While buying it my wife asked if I was sure that I wasn't going to wish I had bought a Corvette, and I said... "this Camaro is sweet"!

It was sweet, but widebody Corvette photos kept popping up in front of me and I found myself looking in my garage to see if a liquidation sale could make it possible. Was a Grand Sport Corvette worth selling my Camaro and track bikes?

Car Specifications

2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport

The video will cover my trek to get (three states away) and trick out a car that I hadn't sat in nor driven.

The Grand Sport sub model comes pretty loaded, but even after the 2LT package - there was some room for me to add some things I felt would make it even nicer for me. Check back regularly to see what I've added.
