This might be my favorite GS so far. So many wild combos out there. This is subtle but it works!

IMO, the wide body was the finishing touch on the C7.
Looks so much better in a wide body.

Ah, now that's going to be both a thumper and a looker.

Nicely done.

I'm a little list here..so you are getting a new GS and putting on a procharger to void the warranty straight away when you can get a Z06 for cheaper and have a warranty?

Wait, so are you lost or did you just say exactly what he's doing? You don't seem lost to me, you just sound like your opinion differs from his and that ain't no big deal....

Don't sell yourself short, you aren't lost at all.

I guess I was being rhetorical... (smart as$$) I don't get why you would buy a GS when you can get a Z06.

who knows, who cares, right? why would you eat a banana when you can just drink a smoothie?

plenty of threads on why would you buy a gs when you can get a Z06. the only reason there is even the question is because "some" dealers are whoring out "some" of their older 2016 inventory. this doesn't mean the GS and Z06 are the same price at all.

compare the price of an equally optioned 2017 Z06 to the 2017 GS and see where they are at.

He's just swapping his Stingray SC over to his GS and doing his own work. Zero cost.

A Corvette fan, I have owned every generation except C4, who knows that the new GS is not much different than any other C7. I would think people would wait for more power rather then just trim and tape. In my opinion there will be more power, and a ten speed, in 2018.
Not according to your own statement.

How is the C7 Grand Sport just "trim and tape"? It can pull 1.2 G's. Have you not read any of the reviews? They are All praising the Grand Sport. As your own words say you appear not to be a true Corvette fan.
