Default New 3LT Grand Sport

After speaking with Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet for a little over a week, I paid him a visit and picked up a new 2019 Grand Sport 3LT today. I traded in my 2015 Stingray 1LT and after driving back to New Jersey from Maryland I am extremely happy with my decision. The Grand Sport is amazing and the ride is so much better then the 1LT.

Congratulations on your new C7. I'd suspect that the felling you're referring to with "ride is so much better" is likely due to the GS from Stingray, rather than from 1LT to 3LT. Like the above poster said, the GS has a noticeably difference in handling characteristics due to the wider tires, upgraded shocks and mag ride. Enjoy it!

Nice ride! I too bought a 2LT Grand Sport a week ago at Criswell from Joey Ryall. It was a great experience with no surprises and a stellar price. It was worth the drive from the Chicago area. The deal was done online with no hassle.
