Hello, everyone. I am finding that with all of the crazy Covid-19 crisis going on, I've decided it is time to get on the Corvette band wagon. I've wanted one since I was a little kid, and got to ride in the back area of a C3 my dad was test driving with my brother. That being said, I am looking for a 2012 or 2013 Grand Sport. One question is about the dry sump. My dad now has a 2016 Z51 automatic he bought new for his 74th birthday present. Does the C6 GS not come with the dry sump for Automatics?
Things change. I ended up seeing the inventory walk through from Rick Corvette Conti, and I found my C7 Grand Sport. Picked her up last Friday, and drove all night back to Myrtle Beach, SC. I am in Love with the C7. Wow, just wow.

Welcome to the Forum, Mark!
My understanding is that only the manual transmission Grand Sports came with the dry sump oil system and all automatics were wet sump.
Best wishes with your search for "your" Corvette! Great way to spend your "stay at home" time!
Thanks for the welcome, info, and advice. Unfortunately, managing 2 garages and a body shop puts my line of work as "essential", so I'm still out and about. I will post my question in the C6 area.
