Andy Pilgrim Drives the Grand Sport M7
I searched and didn't find this, if it's a repost I apologize. He reportedly set a lap record while there.

It appears that Automobile Magazine is using Andy Pilgrim as Motor Trend uses Randy Pobst, however Andy is apparently writing his own articles. Good Move AM!!

I like his thought on the handling; "Driving the Corvette Grand Sport on any road with this much power, grip, and chassis balance means it probably views us with disdain, rolling its eyes at our feeble attempts to explore its limits. Basically, you see a corner, approach it as fast as you are comfortable, steer, and the Grand Sport rips you through to the other side. It’s certainly efficient, but never boring. It makes me smile to drive this kind of four-wheeled scalpel. The Grand Sport’s street handling is very neutral; I found no slide from either end of the car until approaching over 1g, and around that point it let me know with a slight understeer. Yes, you can turn off all the nannies; yes, you can lay rubber; and yes, you might only take out four mailboxes and 100 feet of picket fence if you’re lucky. I ran the Grand Sport in both Touring and Sport mode on the street and had no traction- or stability-control intrusion issues."
