You are American!!! It is not ZED O anything. IT IS CALLED A ZEE "O" 6.

[@Wallacechev]

Hey Freddie B! Actually, we are NOT American...we're your toque wearing, igloo-dwelling neighbours from the North! It's true! We're located about 45-mins from Toronto, Ontario in a town called Milton (population 100,000)! Thanks for your comment!

[@fredeb67]

Funny!! on my passport it says AMERICAN.

[@jaikarchatha1967]

seriously Milton. I'm from and live in Markham. looks like I know where to get my corvette in 5 years cause I'm only 18 turning 19 in 3 months

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, Jaikar! Thanks for comment, neighbour! That's a great five-year goal! Like us, the Corvette is here to stay and as always you'll be able to order one exactly the way you like it! All the best on your G1, G2 and G licensing. See you soon!

[@jaikarchatha1967]

Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC thanks

[@minecraftopian2122]

By far my favourite car. Thanks for the video tour. It's so beautiful

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, Minecraftopian! We couldn't agree more...Chevrolet really knocked the new Grand Sport out of the park! Glad you enjoyed it; we had a blast putting it together! Stay tuned for more and thanks for your comment!

[@NewtonWashinton]

ZEE 06 not ZED 06

[@KapitanPoop]

Might want to bolt on the Stage 2 rear spoiler before talking up that this is a Z07 package

[@Wallacechev]

Hey KapitanPoop! Nice spotting! However, this truly IS a GS w/Z07. The easiest way to tell? The carbon ceramic brakes give it away - they are ONLY available with the Z07 Performance Package! As for the spoiler? We simply hadn't installed in time for the video! Often pieces like the chin spoiler, centre caps and delicate/expensive bits have to be added by the dealer, and are sometimes shipped or installed separately! Thanks for your comment and stay tuned for more! Hope that answers your question! : )

[@crustygymshorts]

So the stage 2 spoiler comes with the Z07 package automatically and you don't have to add it separately? When you build a Grand Sport on the Chevrolet website; when you check the Z07 package it does NOT add the stage 2 spoiler automatically and you have to add that additionally.

[@Wallacechev]

Yes, you're absolutely right! We should have specified it's an option on the Z07 Package above and beyond the spoiler you see here! Ours was not fitted in time for the video! Thanks for your comment & stay tuned!

[@bodeans59]

Question, can you drive the Vette in the "tour" setting and have at the same time the exhaust in the track setting? The throaty exhaust sound

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, bodean59! Yesss!! You can definitely drive the 'Vette in tour and have the exhaust in the throaty track setting! While the PTM automatically ties the drive setting (Track, Tour etc..) to the exhaust note, each drive setting can actually be paired with any exhaust note by going into the Engine Sound Management sub-menu. Once there, Tour mode can be paired with the loudest Track exhaust note, Sport can have the quieter Tour exhaust note and so on. Hope that helps! Thanks for your comment & stay tuned for more!! Jesse shows how its done right here!! Have a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp7ScpWNa7djY8k

....................................................... Z 0 7 NOT ZEN !

[@jackryan267]

Zedō-7. What a goomba.

[@JayDKB]

Man that door closing doesn't sound solid hope that just the audio.

[@FindWisdom]

Are front cameras standard or an option?

[@Wallacechev]

Hey Takero Kenzaie, if you're looking to equip the Performance Data Recording system you'll have to spec the 3LT performance Package. Neither 1LT nor 2LT include it. However, if you're simply looking for the front curbview camera- without the ability to record or overlay track data - you can spec either 2LT or 3LT. Both packages include it! Hope that helps! Thanks for your comment & stay tuned for more!

[@crustygymshorts]

+Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC you can get the Performance Data Recorder as an option on the 2 LT

[@lennassi9114]

How do you turn off the rear view mirror dimming? thanks

[@Wallacechev]

Hi Len, great question! As it turns out the auto dim function cannot be switched off. According to the owner's manual the auto dim function turns on automatically with the ignition- which means the auto dim will stay on as long as the car is on. However, If you're really keen on dimming it you could buy a package of 'light dims' and place them over the location of the sensor. It's the lease expensive way to solve the problem, though perhaps not the most high tech. You can see the location of the sensor in this picture here: cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/2000x1130/80-imag1913_cf074a82d1e4bda4549774ea1884fec0634d7ce7.jpg Hope that helps!

[@lennassi9114]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I placed a small round black sticker- over the sensor and no more dimming. This is the first vehicle in 50 years that didn't have a way to turn off the dimming. Albeit, GSCE is awesome!

[@Wallacechev]

Perfect! Glad to hear the light dim trick worked out for you! It's funny you should mention that because we've also spoken with several of our Corvette customers who've wondered the exact same thing- let's hope GM goes back to the on/off switch on the C8! Excellent!! We couldn't agree more! It's definitely one of our favourite Corvettes! Let us know if you have any other questions and stay tuned for new videos very soon!

[@lennassi9114]

Thanks for your help. Can I call you if I have another question? I have your phone number.

[@Wallacechev]

Hi Len, yes! Please feel free to call us! We're more than happy to help you with any questions you might have!

[@TommyM818]

stop with the faster shifting.... theres still a torque converter. it may be fast shifting on WOT but try shifting it during partial throttle. its horribly lazy

[@whitebunz]

What the fuck is a ZED 0 6?

[@manlandmedia]

Please stop saying ZED!

[@jaikarchatha1967]

why he's a Canadian in Canada reviewing the car.

[@caleb180]

American car, American pronunciation. It's just as stupid when you pronounce Jaguar or Audi incorrectly.

[@Wallacechev]

We'll have to remember that for our next video! We wouldn't want to be "just a stupid"... ; )

[@caleb180]

Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC damn Voice to text

[@ManCaveGroove]

Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC he right man. it an american car, you need to respect!

[@motorsportz8040]

Look he doesnt even fit in C7s they are made for midgets. I wonder how many sales GM has lost to having that woman do the interior. Ive visited three dealerships over the years that all had sales people over 6ft none of them or us fit in this damn car. Keeping my my ZR faster anyways oh and i can fit comfortably in it.

[@mattwardbiz1]

I total agree! Can't believe they made such an amazing car that anyone 6ft or over can fit in. I'm 6'3" so I'm really screwed.

[@jerrygundecker743]

I think he's British with a lousy American accent.

[@jonanhawkins1422]

can I get one for free

[@lionheart866]

oh no... he said zed... mexican can say better.

[@Wallacechev]

WONDERING why our Stage 3 Z07 does not wear the wicker bill spoiler and dive planes seen on the Z06?! READ THIS!!! Both our Corvette Grand Sports were ordered with the Z07 Stage 3 pack and were to include the adjustable wicker bill spoiler, dive planes and more. Expensive carbon pieces and options often arrive later and are added by the dealer, a common practice to ensure the parts arrive in perfect condition. A few weeks on and still we had not received the stage 3 pieces. What was the problem? And today we have the answer straight from GM Canada... "Please be advised that the Z07 Performance Package description on the 2017 Corvette Stingray Grand Sport price label incorrectly states that the following content is included: LEVEL 3 AERO PACKAGE - FRONT SPLITTER END PLATES AND CLEAR ADJUSTABLE WICKER BILL. This equipment is included only with the Z07 Performance Package on the Corvette Stingray Z06 models and not the Grand Sport. " THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR QUESTIONS!! WE NOW HAVE AN OFFICIAL ANSWER! Z07 GS does NOT include them!!!

[@MRSTEEL15]

How could they discontinue Laguna Blue? Pissed off

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, 007mrmrbig! We were also disappointed GM did not offer Laguna Blue on the *'Vette, and it seems we're stuck with the Nightfall Grey with Orange striping (for the time being)! if you trim down from the 50th to a "regular" Camaro SS you're probably best to go with Hyper Blue, the closest tint to Laguna at the moment! Thanks for yout comment. Edit: *'Vette

[@MRSTEEL15]

You mean Vette.....And nope it ain't the same

[@Wallacechev]

Nope, it's not the same, you're right! Hyper Blue is the closest but it surely isn't Laguna...looks like you're after a respray! #onlywaytogo

[@MRSTEEL15]

+Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC Yea I love leguna lol

[@lennassi9114]

Hi Jesse, I left you a voice message yesterday regarding the SD memory card not working in the GSCE. I figured out why the PDR was not reading the SD Card, it was in the wrong format EXFAT32. So I reformatted it to FAT32 and it works! I don't know why Chevrolet does not include a SD card as I can't be the only one who experienced this problem. Len

[@Corvettenews]

Great info. Thanks for sharing!

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, Corvette! Thanks a lot! More to come soon!!! : )

[@roreyheinzeroth5216]

6 he

[@onlyinbmore]

This was a good video

[@Wallacechev]

Thanks! More on the way soon! : )

[@prestonrobert2625]

They all are POOR QUALITY do not buy!

[@chongqingpotato]

How much is the new GS with all the z07 package and ceramic brakes options? They are not on the Chevy website yet. In Canada ofc, thank you!

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, LeoRising! Thanks for your comment! In Canada A GS Coupe starts at $75,895, while our convertible w/8-speed auto starts at $80,895. However, as Jesse mentioned in the video this particular example has nearly every conceivable (3LT, Z07, Heritage Design, etc...) and therefore lists for $115,430. Take a look at our description to see the options lists! Thanks!

[@mattpeters6224]

Great info and knowledge. Appreciate it. On a side note. If you don't get a mic hold the camera yourself for better sound.

[@Wallacechev]

Thanks, Matt! Good mic tip as well! We typically film the videos from a POV perspective but this video featured our Corvette specialist Jesse, which meant it ended up being a lot quiete as he was further from our camera. Perhaps it's time to grab a mic! Any suggestions?

[@shaunmcinnis1960]

Man and his chariot . Timeless

[@TWHISPERER]

Lap Times? You'll go 15th minutes and than the car will over heat and go into Limp Mode..on the streets too.

[@jink6091]

Thanks for explaining the different driving modes.

[@thenerdscholar3932]

To the America's watching , I'm sorry for using the correct pronunciation here north of the boarder . Don't worry my 68 Camaro is a big block ss 396 , so you don't have to worry about me pronouncing z/28 hahahahaha . Thanks for the views everybody

[@nateyzf]

Bro, are you saying ZED? That's absurd. Please stop.

[@Wallacechev]

Hey, natyzf! We are located in Canada. We say things weirdly and live in igloos. We also say "Zed". Things are different, but we love the Camaro just the same! Thanks for your comment! #notworthfightingover #makespeednotwar

[@nateyzf]

+Wallace Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC ok that explains a lot lol. I'm not sure that you understand how ludicrous that sounds when American viewers hear that.
