2017 Corvette GS

[Bruce Jibboo]

the evolution of engineering

There are some who say, “Why would you skip out on a supercharged Corvette?” Well, when something like the 2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport comes along, it’s tempting, especially knowing this new information.

According to Corvette Product Manager, Harlan Charles, the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport matched the C6 Corvette ZR1 around Virginia International Speedway during benchmarking. That means the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport clocked a brisk 2:45.18 time around VIR. Charles stated that was with a seven-speed manual gearbox.

Additionally, he revealed the full slew of 2017 Corvette model year changes would be available on May 13.

Tires and aero certainly are the components to thank for such a sweet, sweet time around VIR. The Corvette team has had multiple hits with each iteration of C7 we’ve been graced with thus far, and the Grand Sport sounds like it will be the perfect sweet spot for those looking for more track-readiness, and loads of livability.

I wish the real top gear was still around and could review this car. Sounds like it will be awesome.

I finally found one that had a price on it. The MSRP was $80k. It was like a 2LT or something. Considering you can get a 1LZ Z06 for about $80k, this now makes no sense to me atleast.

this is what I've been dreaming of. A worthy successor to the LS7 with direct injection, cam phasing and cylinder shutdown. ~550 NA horsepower and 27 highway mpgs. Wish they'd also give us an option for a closer geared trans instead of that triple OD bullshit
