New member from sunny Florida / Just picked up a C7 Grand Sport!
Hey everyone, finally pulling the trigger and joining the forum after lurking for months. Just traded in my daily driver for a '18 C7 Grand Sport in Torch Red with the 7-speed manual. Man, the rev-matching on this thing is absolutely mental, and the way it pulls out of corners makes my old ride feel like a tractor. Planning on doing most of the wrenching myself in the garage, probably starting with a proper intake and a clean exhaust setup to let that LT1 properly breathe. Looking forward to picking your brains on local track days and setup advice. Cheers!
