Default New GS Collector Edition

After 10 years with my 2007 ZO6 it was time to pull the trigger. Found a great deal at Raymond Chevrolet in Antioch, Illinois and last Friday the 13th was a lucky day for me as my 2017 Grand Sport Collector Edition corvette was delivered. Plycar did an excellent job for me also.

Haven't got to spend much time with her due to some overtime this weekend but after one drive I am definitely impressed. She rides so much smoother in touring mode and the interior is much more refined. The A8 is nice although I may miss the 6 speed now and then, we'll see. All in all I love this car so far and I think it's only going to get better.

Congrats on your CE! I went from a C6 to a 2017 GS as well and like you, I found the difference incredible. Chevy did a fantastic job and the more you drive your newC7, the more you're going to love it!

That's beautiful. If I ever upgrade from my Z51, that's what I'm getting.

Congrats and enjoy it. It's a great color, I expect many new C7 buyers will miss not having it as an option.
