I really don't understand all the negative comments on the Grand Sport or any of the Corvettes posted on this forum, but to each his own. I just wanted to share a special event that most people would not experience, except for a public GM event or an event like Carlisle. To be one on one with one of Corvette's chief designers made for an extremely enjoyable evening for an intimate crowd of Corvette enthusiasts fro WNY. It was a private event and by invitation only to friends or friends of friends. Kirk comes back to the area during the same time every year because he has family in our area. It is always a special treat to be able to see him and to talk Corvettes on a personal level. Kirk usually brings a unique Vette with him and this time it was the 2017 Grand Sport. We have all seen pictures but this was the real thing. If you don't like the car or the venue, that's fine because you weren't invited to this little party and you probably never will be in the future, so vent and I hope you enjoy your own little world of negativity!
