A nice review, but my question would be:

How does he know the Grand Sport is the perfect fit between the street Corvette and the Z06? He, admittedly, has only driven this one Corvette. I have always found it impossible to compare if you haven't driven the other vehicle. Guess he's taking other reviews as gospel and infusing them into his own review.

I didn't think a Corvette model comparison was the purpose of his review.
His main emphasis is that the Corvette is as good or better than European sports cars, which is great to hear.

watched this the other day. Did they crank up the effort of steering in track mode for the GS? He says its way to hard.

It is quite heavy, but have only found it to be a problem when driving slow, such as pulling into a parking spot.

I don't find it the steering in Track Mode heavy at all in my Z06, but good thing is you can set it how you want independent of driving mode, maybe he wasn't aware of that.

yup, light for road courses, tight for straight line.
