I'm the owner of the Grand Sport. workmanship and install is great, only issue is drive ability is not that great. its like riding a bucking bronco at red lights and stop signs moving up in traffic,pulling in GARAGE, PARKING ETC.. Once you moving drive ability is better. its shifts at 2000( in drive) in drive sounds like values floating and knocking(like a diesel and loud noise rushing sound think transmission until you reach your speed) as you accelerate. shifts over 2300 better ( in manual mode) it is better. cruising ok as long as it is not over 91 degrees w/ac on then it over heats. Hoping gets better when finally broke in.

To me, that does not sound like something I would want to drive daily. Trailer to the track, race, put back on trailer and repeat. Hope it gets better for you.

Are you serious or is this a joke? Why did you pick up the car if this statement is true? Awaiting LMR comments.

I just got a quote for $37,000 to get 950-1000 hp out of a c7 z06. Does that seam high or is that about right?

Watch that video again at the 120 mph shift it bogs for a second or two. Then begins to pull hard again. That is not a daily driver.

What what included in the 37k?

For a 416 , heads, fueling, clutch, bigger blower , is about 32k. Power isn’t cheap past a certain amount !

Heck I did better than that in my own Garage. Granted not everybody is a DIY'er

Went Callies ultra billet crank and rods, diamond pistons, Johnson lifters.
238/240, .645"/.635", 113 with V7 YSi blower. Work and tune done by me. Idles great, no hunt.

Funny how LMR posts other threads and doesn't come back to this thread. Also strange they started the thread to drum up business but act like they don't see it. So I'm going out on a limb and say they got their money and ain't fixing nothing. Pitiful

OP hasn't posted anything either. Maybe they're working together to get it resolved.
Either way, I hope to see an update soon.

You would think LMR knew the op didn't like the drivability when delivered.
