Will you trade up or buy a new 2017 C7 Grand Sport?
The GS thread has attracted a ton of attention, since the initial posting.
There has been a lot of input, lots of suggestions of what Corvette owners like and dislike.
The question now araises.....

Nope, don't like the fender stripes or the wide body look with the spats up front. If I wanted a ZO6 I would have bought one, don't need a fake one.

Nope! GS is kinda ugly to me. I can't stand the side vents and spoiler. And it only comes with "wanna be" z06 side skirts (useless to me)... If I wanted skirts with a stage 1 splitter, I'd STILL have to buy after market ones. Lack of winter tires/all seasons don't help either.
Now I do like the wide body and the rear bottom brake duct vents, but I don't think it's worth all the trouble just for that when I can just buy a 2017 z51 and essentially get the same look/performance for less money. Maybe one day, an aftermarket vendor will come up with a way to mod on the rear brake vents on the z51.

There isn't enough there to entice me, but I have a 2016, so I'm happy.

If you had asked me this question in 2010, I would have said yes to the GS, which I did.
Loved the performance/tech improvements the C6 delivered over the C5, but wasn't crazy about the C6 styling, until... The C6 Z06. The Z wide body really jazzed up the C6. Couldn't afford a Z, so when the GS was offered in 2010, had to have it.
Today... The C7 Stingray styling is so good, I don't think the wide-body adds much. Not as a dramatic difference as with the C6.
So, respect the new C7 GS, but not feeling any need to trade my '16 Z51.

I have a 15 Z06. Went down Fri. to order the 17 GS. Couldn't bring myself to do it and ended up ordering the 16 Z06.
