Default My 2011 Corvette Grand Sport

I just picked up a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport 3LT Heritage Package with 6 Speed Manual. It's fully loaded with only 7,000 miles. The car is like new in mint condition. I sold my 2013 WRX STI. It didn't have nearly the power or performance as my 2008 Corvette. I'm glad to be back with the Grand Sport!

I come in the driveway at 1mph on an extreme angle then level off on the sidewalk and take another extreme angle. Finally, I'm in the garage. It's not as dramatic as it sounds but it does take a careful entry and exit. If your not used to a low car you would rip it right off.

Default Low = Slow

I also just picked up a red GS. It has the ZR splitter installed. It seems to scrape just sitting there.

The ZR splitter would be awesome! That might be even more trouble for me :-)
