I don't think the exhaust is really loud enough in Sport mode. Of course, my previous C5 had a built LS3 with a big cam and headers.

It's no Caddie, but I think the ride is fine even in track mode.

I wish new members would put their city in their profile so if they are local, I could offer a test drive/ride. I've done it many times, but can't offer if I don't know where you live.....
I daily drive mine and in touring it is both quiet and smooth
In sport it's louder (not loud) and firmer.
In track it's even more of a blast to drive!!!!

if you live in a warm climate with good roads it would be a blast to daily the grand sport! Yes the dealer should have them in a box ready to be installed. I removed all of my stage 1 aero for C7 GTX exposed carbon fiber and stage two wing.

Like the others are saying, the GS is an awesome car for kicking around town, it's not near as exhausting to drive as my C6 GS. The mag ride really makes a big difference. And personally, I find the car too quiet, I wish it had the grumble of the NPP C6 with MTW switch.

Some times the skirts , splitter arrive later, the dealership adds them later . I told them not to install my stage 1 because I ordered stage 2 .

The aero kit (side skirts, front splitter) is an option and not standard on grand sports.

Guessing the dealer never installed them or he has them in a box because he's installing something else. Stage one plastic splitter and 3/4 length carbon flash side skirts come on all grandsports.

Talk to the dealer - you're being a bit demanding of everyone on the forum and quite frankly, acting like a little bitch. Have a great evening.
