Default How can I tell if my 2017 Stringray LT3 is a Grand Sport?

I have a new to me 2017 Stringray Vin # 1G1YF2D7XH5121212. I am trying to figure out if it is a Grand Sport model.

Wow...

Nope, not a GS from the VIN.

Not flaming but it should be readily apparent, if no place else than on the front quarter-panels! Put quite simply for those unfamiliar with the various models, if it has a badge that says "Grand Sport" then yes. If it has the gray flying fish then no...

GS:


Stingray:

The plaques on the door sill say grand sport. The side vents say grand sport. The title says grand sport.

So you actually purchased a 2017 Corvette and have no idea if it is a Grand Sport? I sure hope they did not charge you Grand Sport....or ZO6 prices!

Yes pretty easy to tell. The GS looks similar to a Z06 but has the Stingray engine.

Some of these OP posts are just too funny/ridiculous to be true. Who would spend this amount of money & not know what they are buying. Yes, I get sometimes we are being trolled but after seeing so many inane posts they can't "ALL" be trolls.

Maybe he really wanted to know if it was a Z51 Stingray at least I would give him a little more credit.

Not sure if this is a Braunschweiger sandwich or liverwurst. It says Braunschweiger on the package but still not sure. Can anyone help me out?

Is this a serious question? You spent what 60K? And, you don't know what model you have? Maybe its a Mustang.
