It was really hard coming up with 5 things I hate about this great car

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Haha great video bro I love it, and I know you love the car dearly, idk why everytime someone does a 5 things they hate video, they can never understand that these are nitpicky things and its hard to come up with 5 things for really nice cars such as this. It's like you made a video on 5 things you hate about their mother or something lol 😂But great job with the video on the car sir beautiful spec, our buddy cgarnerspeed252 also has a grandsport vette 2017

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Exhaust Sports Auto Yes, thank you! You nailed it here. You get the best comment award. And yes, cgarnerspeed252 is supposed to come down this weekend to meet up with a guy named Mike who just started a car channel called Brink of Speed and myself. We're looking forward to meeting him. Thanks for your comment.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Haha ya we've done our fair share of 5 things we hate vids and literally every single I've seen other than vehicle virgins surprisingly has gotten the same reactions which I just don't understand. Ya that's awesome and I will be checking out Mike's channel too. And thanks so much for your sub your love and support is greatly appreciated sir, and of course you got a sub from me!

That is a bad ass GS. My friend's husband bought one last year. She says he bought it as an investment. Literally had it delivered to his house by enclosed trailer then parked it ever since. It still has 6 miles on it. I don't understand it. That car is made to be driven. I try explaining to her that between inflation, the cost of insurance, and the interest he's paying on the loan he's probably never going to make money on it. Might has well enjoy it!!!

[@stephenboneau9090]

The thing I don't like about your GS is the auto transmission. Sports cars should have manual transmissions, my two cents. The vette 7 speed is a pretty nice trans.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

That's why I traded for a C7 Z06 with a manual transmission.

[@ozzstars_cars]

[@dougsmith7908]

Great sports car. The tire to fender gap, is there for a reason. Some people take them on road courses , overdrive them and hit the apexes or apron of turn , or worse, go off the track, it might need a few inches of travel so you don’t bottom out , or tear the suspension up. If you watch some track videos on certain tracks the things are so fast they become airborne so again, unless you own a race team , can afford a new suspension or backup car , your covered. In addition the suspension gives the car a good ride with the design if you’re on public roads, and still offers great handling. I would NOT change anything on it , if you lower it , you alter too many dynamics with the magnetic suspension , sensors, etc. As a freelance writer I’ve reviewed and obtained several Vettes from GM on a regular basis, they come with the best overall combination of suspension design, handling, and ride quality of any car near its price point , so if most of your driving is on public roads, or even run road courses on weekends sometimes, I would not touch it.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yeah, I left it the way it is. We took it to the track a few weeks ago. Had a great time.

[@dougsmith7908]

Front Seat Driver Good move. Remember a Ferrari has smaller tire fender gaps and less suspension travel but that doesn’t mean they necessarily win on track day, and if they go off the track or get airborne they go home on the trailer while we laugh and drive back home.

[@ericheine2414]

I haven't been in the newer Vett. I've walked around it. It takes time to get used to the lines of a car. I know an old man and he drives a Porsche. So one day I see him getting out of it with crutches. I said to him " paddle shifters?" He looked at me and smiled and said " hell yeah."

[@FrontSeatDriver]

eric heine That's awesome! I saw a 918 in Houston. The guy also apparently owns a Carrera GT also. It was at the Porsche dealer in Houston be in repaired. Could you imagine having both of those cars?

[@ivanl2004]

What a moron!! Check for wheel gaps and inside the car before you make a purchase...

[@dougg1075]

A lot of components on new vehicles set warnings due to bad cells in battery. Or wonky currents. Car starts fine but one of the cells or whatever is up and down.

[@CasualXCars]

Thanks for sharing your take on what you do not like. Question: when you were looking to purchase the car I take it you sat in it, test drove it... was there something with the interior you liked at the time and stopped liking, or you did not like interior / layout from the get-go?

[@FrontSeatDriver]

No. I LOVED the interior. The blue is the main reason I bought this one. I wasn't a huge fan of the Watkins Glen Gray but I do like it. It goes well with the blue.

[@denniswhorley2185]

Try some silicone spray or gel on the roof panels where ever they touch. That also will keep the rubber lubricated as well.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I’ll try it. I have a different Vette now but still a 17 C7.

[@troypower4733]

There is a way to eliminate any noise from the removable roof panel, use Superlube, a thick synthetic grease, liberally lube to attachment latch contact points between the panel and body structure and light coating on the rubber gasket, eliminates any noise.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Troy Power Thanks! I will try that. I am open to anything that prevents the squeaking. Do they have that brand at most autopart stores?

[@troypower4733]

I am in Canada and here it is not, probably easier to find in the USA, I am sure if you check on line you will be able to order it, here is one link I found: www.pocomarine.com/shop/super-lube-21030-synthetic-multi-purpose-grease-ptfe-3oz/ . Works amazing on polyurethane bushings etc...do use it on my UCA's on my truck suspension as well as on my 2017 Grand Sport.I have only applied it once to eliminate the irritating roof rattle on my vette.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Troy Power Thanks, I'll try it out. Glad someone found a fix for this. Funny thing is, I only notice it once in a while but it's annoying when I do. Sometimes I'll be driving my truck and my clipboard will be squeaking and I can't reach it...ugh. I don't know why those little squeaks bother me so much. :)

[@Sprocketboy1956]

I am using GM weatherstripping lubricant on my targa top (C6) weatherstripping. It is insanely expensive but works well and you only need a tiny bit each year. On the other hand, dielectric grease for the moving metal parts is cheap and recommended. Lubricating the top is a regular maintenance activity which I think many owners overlook.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Leslie Reissner I would have overlooked it. I'm glad you mentioned it.

[@Kyle7K]

Possibly un the market for a GS. Looked at many, never noticed that wheel gap before. That's crazy. Now I can't unsee it.

[@FELiPES101]

you dont put gloss finish on interior items that are being touched because they always have fingerprints and smudging on them...hence the matte finish

[@FrontSeatDriver]

GM does offer gloss and I have it in my C8. A lot of it. No issues with fingerprints. Although, I do like the dry carbon these days.

[@bombvoyage8207]

The rattles can be remedied by some if those rubber washers

[@gen1c8rs88]

Just put 325/30r20 and 275/35r19 tires on the stock rims and then lower it back to stock ride height to get less fender to tire gap: rear - 1inch, front - .7 inches.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I don't know tire sizing. Is that a higher profile tire than what they come with to help hide the tire gap?

[@gen1c8rs88]

Front Seat Driver Yes it is. Front tires 25.8 inches vs 26.5 inches in diameter, rear tires 26.6 inches vs 27.6 inches in diameter. Installing the tires will subtract half the distance then lowering the car back to stock ride height will subtract the other half. The only issue will be recalibrating the read out of the speed and distance traveled.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

C7 GT1 I will consider that. Seems like a good option.

[@randyrhodes7526]

I notice you have steel breaks as I do, how about that brake dust and I agree about the paddles, on the C6 both paddles could be used for up or down shifts so you did not have to keep track of what paddle is what, I miss that on the C7.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yes. The brake dust is AWFUL! I just made a video about washing my car and you can see all the brake dust washing off onto the driveway. I want to switch out the brake pads to ceramic.

[@TheBigChief001]

I never understood why people buy widebody Stingray's when for a bit more you could get a Grand Sport or used Z06.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Kevin Eleven I don't either. As soon as I saw the Grand Sport I knew it's what I wanted. When I saw this car on the showroom floor I was blown away. Never imagined buying it. It was out of my realm of thinking. It was surreal going in and buying it a couple months later.

[@fogboundturtle]

Not sure if you still have your Vette but there is a TSB at GM to fix the roof clutches. They will rattle when it get hot. I had mine replace and the rattle is gone.

is your headliner stock?? if not where did you get it...I have the transparent top

[@FrontSeatDriver]

michael rankin It's stock. I haven't done any mods yet. Well, besides the Xpel and Grand Sport sticker on the window. I would like to have 2 tops. One like yours and one like mine. I think some of them came with both. I could be wrong though.

[@pseudosmith4979]

Lower that car = Undriveable. Wheel Gap Schmeel Gap and you could get glossy carbon dash as an option, at least I could on a 2019. That top should not rattle take it to the dealer under warranty.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Pseudo Smith It can be lowered. Many people have done it. I couldn't do the glossy carbon because this is a specific collector edition. They're all basically the same. And I actually misspoke. I meant to say the roof squeaks, not rattles. I was given the name of a lubricant that will prevent it. Anyway, thanks for watching.

[@jamesbond9873]

I’ll take it!

[@MR-tc4mz]

I agree with the interior part it's so tacky, never been a fan myself . also the paddles, the rattling depends on the road u are driving and how slow you are going , the front lower lip is weird that it scrapes mine is 2018 with a full carbon z06 lip and I didn't scrape anything also the gap at the rear wheel seems odd i cant see that much in mine , great video bro ,nice i wanted that color but my dealer didnt have it so i settled for the Yellow in Black.

Quick question! With that wheel gap, does that mean I can put taller wheels? Like for example 245/45/19 up front? Or would it rub? Please let me know, thanks.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Gabriel Flores Hi, Gabriel. I would definitely think you could put taller wheels. I have even seen a couple Camaro's on Facebook that had 22" wheels. And Camaro's don't even have this big of a wheel gap.

[@gabrielflores1149]

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Gabriel Flores I'm not 100% sure but I do think it would work.

[@gabrielflores1149]

Front Seat Driver I think so too. If the wheel well is so big and tall then it should fit inside and if its same width, it shouldnt rub...thats be awesome, it would absorb potholes much better. I want a dd vette

You can get rid of the low profile tires and that will take care of the wheel gap As for the paddle shifters should have gotten a manual to really experience driving a vette I would do a hint of blue on the front as you stated It’s only vinyl and easily replaced.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

+Mark Wagner yes. I will add the blue. I want to put it on the sides and changing the front splitter and will put it on there too. I'm getting used to the wheel gap. I don't love it but it's okay. I would do a manual but I'm just lazy I guess. I know how to drive a manual since ny first car was but I've never had another since.

[@mustang6035]

I feel u on the wheel gap issue. My coworker has a black Grand Sport that I also noticed. The car does sit low already so lowering it more will cause clearance problems. They shoulda made the fenders sit lower to eliminate that problem.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

mustang6035 Amen. I bought a camaro too recently and my dealer said they avoided that on the new Camaro since it was an issue on the Vette. I guess we will see if it's still there on the ZR1.

[@youcdtube]

good point about the wheel gap. Go for porche then

[@FrontSeatDriver]

davie crocket Pretty sure GM will fix it for the C8. They didn't do it on Camaro. I was told they were aware it was unpopular and so they made sure the wheel gap was smaller.

[@jamesmcclane9333]

LOL! I just have one question. If you've never been a fan of corvette interiors then why the hell did you even buy one?

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Because I still like the exterior. While I prefer the look of the C7 I prefer the interior on the C8. I own both so I speak from personal experience and of course just my personal preference.

[@Sprocketboy1956]

These five complaints are really minor, which says a lot about the car, but the one that would frustrate me is the nose-scraping. I have it with my older Corvette as well. Rumours are that the C8 will have hydraulics similar to more expensive exotic cars allowing you to lift the nose a few inches when going into driveways. If only there was an aftermarket product for us! This is a beautiful Grand Sport, so stop whining. :-)

[@FrontSeatDriver]

[@1QuadControl]

Dude... your car looks totally sweet. Get over the 4 finger thing. And that message about the rear axle was probably just a software glitch. I have a C7 stingray, and I've seen a couple of similar strange messages. I bought a new C5 in 1999, which had much worse software issues in it. Still loved the car, but one night it did mess up pretty good. I was at a strip club, and when I came out and put the key in the ignition... the seat would not move back to the normal position. It was 2:00am in the morning. I couldn't move it at all, and couldn't really push the clutch pedal to the floor either. Couldn't reach with the seat all the way back. The steering column was all the way in also. I messed with it for awhile... but ended up having to pop the hood, and disconnect the positive side of the battery for 30 seconds to reboot the computer. After that , it worked again.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

John Vu I haven't experienced any. I think it's mostly on the Z06.

[@paulsparrow1904]

Wow! Beautiful Vette! Gold-plated problems.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Paul Sparrow Thanks and agreed. They're all minor issues.

[@paulsparrow1904]

Front Seat Driver BTW - Did you remove the center section of your front rubber air dam?

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Paul Sparrow No, it's still there.

[@jzmun]

Im assuming this is your first corvette right bro. Corvettes have had targas or t tops since 68. A lot of people prefer that the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel, you're always going to have to use both hand on the wheel and when turning on the track helps a lot, trust me. Any ways that is one awesome car dude, enjoy in good health.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yes. You are correct. My first Vette. I knew they had targa tops but I thought the C6 didn't. I just found out the other day it was only the C6 Z06 that didn't.

[@WaybackRewind]

​@FrontSeatDriver The C6 Z06 had a targa top, but the aluminum chassis was so weak that the targa top is bolted down and not designed to be removed.

[@ericheine2414]

The Pantera's got a wicked come on. I love compound curves cuz I love a woman's body. The truth is I've never been past a hundred and forty in a car. I don't hang out over a hundred very long. So I go for style and smiles. There's also a point where if I sit too deep in a car I feel like I'm in a bathtub.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

eric heine Absolutely. I love the Pantera. I saw one at Cars and coffee a while back. I used to see them on the road as a kid in the late 70's

[@RudeRaptor]

6 things i hate about my vett. #6 I lowered my wheel gap and now my wheels rubs under my qtr panel.

[@nikoorion2570]

Love the Crashdiet shirt

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Thanks! I love Crashdïet.

[@erichumblez]

I’m about to get mine in couple days I saved up 32k for the down payment I’m super excited I still can’t believe I’m actually getting it hehe

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Congrats! I am sure you will love the car!

[@andrewl6668]

Got mine a month ago. Felt the same way at the dealership. “I can’t believe I’m about to own this beautiful beast!” Enjoy.

[@DivadNoodeldehm-lz2gm]

1:10. High speed bump compliance. Please drive a Poooorsch Neun Elfer over curbing at CMP at speed then go do the same in a miata, repeat in mustang, repeat in civic, repeat in this car. It needs more bump complaince in the form of smaller, 17 inch tires, with more sidewall to deliver heat dissipation and extra suspension travel. This aesthetic (ams) demands result in weak wheels and poor ride quality all in the name of superficial looks.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Divad Noodeldehm I actually think it drives pretty well. I don't mind the ride. It would actually work as a daily driver but I need a truck to drive to jobsites. Vette won't work.

[@ericheine2414]

I dream of my top 10 favorite cars. I allow myself a pickup truck, a sports car and a motorcycle. I took care of a man's car collection. 17 cars. They all had to be driven. and kept on chargers. A friend of mine takes care of the Mumford collection. The Collection is 110 cars and was estimated to be worth 22 million dollars 10 years ago. He also works for Brizio Speed Shop in South San Francisco. They're your $250000 to $500,000 custom cars. They did 5 for Eric Clapton. He owns 7 Brizio street rods. Jeff Beck has three. We are car freaks. There was a time I thought I should go to Cars Anonymous. Cars, guitars, and women, my mother says as habits go they're not so bad. Take care and be well.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

eric heine That would be amazing to be around all those cars. Thank's Eric. Have a great day!!

[@DaveSorge]

If it doesn't scrape, you ain't low enough. :D

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Dave Sorge Lol. I know. Actually I do scrape every time I back out of the driveway. And it's not even very steep. But it still needs to be lowered.

[@DaveSorge]

Haha... my Z51 scrapped too. I treated those little rubber things as disposable. They're fairly easy to replace. Love your collectors edition, brotha. Keep the videos coming. :)

[@jamesmcclane9333]

Everything you mentioned is so very petty. My grand sport's targa top never rattles, not sure why yours does maybe you didn't put it back on correctly after removing it.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yes. I alluded to that in the video. I can’t remember what the issue was but I think I was wrong anyway. I think I found out it was something different altogether. It’s been a few years so I do not completely recall.

[@jamesmcclane9333]

Mine doesn't rattle either.

[@truantray]

You don't want glossy surfaces on a dash, they will reflect sunlight.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Yeah, I'm an Alcantara guy. I just bought a Lamborghini and was disappointed I couldn't find one with all Alcantara. But it's a Lambo so I'm not complaining. 😁

[@Juanwhy]

if he doesn't like how the car scraping on the drive then why does he want to lower even more

[@MrVara411]

Correction: that is NOT a carbon fiber "wrap" on your dash. That is one big piece of actual carbon fiber. I personally like the matte finish, but that's just me. Anyway I just wanted you to know that's genuine carbon fiber, and not painted or a wrap (as in the C6). Cheers, and don't forget "the wave" to other Corvette drivers! :)

[@FrontSeatDriver]

vara fouroneone Yeah, I was wrong. Many have made sure I knew. Lol. What's funny is I wave at the other drivers but half the time they don't wave back. I guess everyone is too focused on their lives. Oh well. Have a great day!

[@MrVara411]

Front Seat Driver I always wave. Unfortunately C7 drivers wave back the least. Glad you're bucking that trend! Take care. Gorgeous car.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

vara fouroneone Thanks!

[@ericheine2414]

I helped build a 56 Vett. It took best of show out of 998 cars. " nothing will change your perception of a line more than time." Iron American Dream on KZbin. Share it. Take a ride across the Promised Land. Ride the Arch.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

eric heine That may be true and I love early Vette's, early Porsche's etc. But I also loved the Countach and the Vector. Cars with hard lines. That still appeals to me.

[@edmundlestari6626]

I dont know why your videos get so many dislikes but everything you said is right considering I tried driving corvette last month. the paddle shifter is a not like huracan and that's a con. I agree with the front lip being so low. I scraped the vette on the 1st day i drove it.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Edmund Lestari Possibly people think I'm ungrateful or something. That just means they didn't pay attention. I'm okay with it though. I appreciate your comment.

[@edmundlestari6626]

I gave your video a thumbs up. By the way, can you kindly update us on the battery issue if it ever get resolved. thanks!

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Will do. It happened again a month ago but went away. Someone mentioned they had it happen and it was a connector or something. Thanks for the thumbs up!!

[@jjlatinopedia]

Im debating between a vette and the Alfa Romeo 4RC

[@FrontSeatDriver]

OrganicChemistry2 I love the 4c! Before I got the Vette I looked at Alfa Romeo and also Porsche. I picked the Vette over Alfa partially because of the sound of the exhaust. And I believe the Vette is a little faster. But I am sure you will be happy either way. If you get the Alfa, let me know how you like it.

[@jjlatinopedia]

Front Seat Driver If for whatever reason I chose a vette and didnt care too much for the sound or power, which would you recommend? The Stingray or the Grand Sport?

[@FrontSeatDriver]

OrganicChemistry2 I recommend the GS. I think it's the best of the Stingray and Z06 combined. It has the engine of the Stingray with the body of the Z06. And I think the suspension in the GS and Z06 are the same. It's been said it's the perfect track car of the 3. The Z06 tends to have too much power and can get away from you but the GS is just right. I know a guy from Instagram that tracks a ZR1 and just bought a GS to drive. He chose that over the Z06. You can also get some REALLY good deals right now on the GS. There's a brand new 2017 in Burleson, TX at Lynn Smith Chevrolet for $20 k off of sticker.

[@ericheine2414]

Check out Brizio Speed Shop South City San Francisco California..

[@droidgestor1682]

This car use the same engine in the Z06?

[@FrontSeatDriver]

No. It has the same engine as a Z 51 Stingray.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

465 hp vs. 650 in the Z06.

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

Man just be happy with your gourgeos car . You already say it about lowering suspension and you say about how already to the ground. About the battery it’s sometimes normal that’s why you get warranty. You have no faults. I work as Technician and I see new cars with real faults. Just be happy bro 🤘

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I do appreciate the car. I love it actually. This video just points out the faults of the car. No car is perfect.

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

Front Seat Driver 🤘

[@stavrosgavrilis3889]

Your interior is real carbon and not a wrap.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Stavros Gavrilis Yeah, I looked back at my paperwork. I was wrong. A while back I was looking at Porsche's and they had a used Ferrari and the Carbon fiber in one spot was peeling off and it looked similar to mine so that was why I thought it was just a wrap.

[@EddyJoe]

Don't get discouraged by all the thumbs down. Some people don't like bad news, even when you preface your video stating that you overall love the car.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Eddy Joe Funny you mentioned that. Yesterday I went to check out a few other videos like mine and most were the same way. I was a little concerned at first. Thanks for your comment.

[@codycook418]

Front Seat Driver don’t mind the dislikes it’s people who are jealous of what you have and angry that you would even be “pretentious” enough to complain about something they will never be able to acquire. KZbin is starting to get a little cluttered with car you tubers though, good luck building your channel and congrats I love the grand sport. I almost got that over my Hellcat.

[@truantray]

People are sick of KZbin list clickbait titles, its the top 5 stupid things about KZbin.

[@totowolf9716]

Glad I went with the gt350

[@FrontSeatDriver]

toto wolf I really love the car but I looked at a gt350 a few weeks ago and it's awesome too! Congrats on the car.

[@tremec6]

Most people would not mind your complaints. Nice Vette Brother.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

tremec6 I don't mind them either. The only one that really annoys me is the wheel gap. That is easily rectified but it has its pros and cons.

[@tremec6]

Front Seat Driver I have the performance exhaust on my Vette and it doesn’t sound aggressive enough.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

tremec6 I can understand that. I want to do a Corsa or something to mine. Probably will be a while. I just signed up for Spring Mountain. Even with the GM discount I will be spending quite a bit because I added my wife. She's not discounted. Plus airfare. Are you looking to do a different exhaust?

[@tremec6]

Front Seat Driver i want to but I don't want to take away from the integrity of the car. I've Factory order it and also I have the build sheet from the Corvette museum

[@FrontSeatDriver]

tremec6 I understand. I'm kinda in the same boat. I want to do mods but people keep telling me not to because it's a c.e. But I bought it to have fun with.

[@jamesjensen5226]

I'm suprised people don't say anything about the engine and how it's the same as the Camaro

[@cgarnerspeed252]

good point!

[@julzzcan9490]

I've got one too, not the heritage edition though. Hate is too strong, minor dislikes perhaps? These issues are very minor, yes. The low profile, so it takes careful attention for any slopes, the rear spacing is okay for me. Take care, J

[@FrontSeatDriver]

JG Cano You are 100% correct. These are very minor issues. A few channels I like do videos of 5 Things I love/ 5 Things I Hate on their cars. I thought it'd be fun to do. The 5 Things I LOVE has way less views unfortunately.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Have a great week JG!

[@jayc4715]

Donk it out on 24s to get rid of the wheel gap

[@nick__cars]

Nice collectors edition

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Thanks, Nicholas!!

[@PlotTwistzy]

Dude first issue isn't a problem it looks cool and when it jumps car will not damage cause it's a little higher for your car is e demon beast nice video

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Hi, Mirza. Thank you!!
