2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Test Drive Review 4K

[@scalefreakgaming]

What an amazing sound. I got to take a short drive in a Stingray the other day. I'm so impressed

[@kanob6440]

Shout out to whoever does the audio and camera work. Great video Brian

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! That's all Nick's works.

[@bobmiller9177]

here it is 4 years after i got one and i'm still getting my rocks off driving it and seeing videos of it.

[@BrianMakse]

The GS is a legend.

[@johnnyringo201]

I have no idea what the European enthusiasts are taking about old School technology, the sweet sound of that pushrod V8 is glorious. Love it. I am getting one. Terrific review friend.

[@BrianMakse]

Cheers, thanks. We totally agree!

[@gavsu]

Bro i just got my 2019 GS and omg i cannot get enough of her i still love each and everything of her this has to be one of the best ever sports cars built its such a glorious car i cant explain

[@BrianMakse]

Well done. It’s the perfect C7 in my opinion. Enjoy!

[@shaunmcinnis1960]

I think I've watched every grandsprort video on line...Gotta have one

[@BrianMakse]

How'd this video compare to others?

[@ISUringman1974]

"This is the GYMNAST" --- I love it!

[@pseudosmith4979]

Finally a video with a ton of engine and exhaust noise and less babble. Well done, sir, great vid.

[@BrianMakse]

Well, thanks, I guess, but I’m not sure what you mean by finally. We published this a year ago.

[@halsolomon694]

First time on the channel-great review of the Grand Sport although I'm a bit biased as I got mine in December. Already had it on track and it is amazing. Got it for heavy discount with Heritage pack, black rims with red stripe, PDR (a must for track) for $67 K. Z06 power is too much for the street and most people won't handle it on the track either (kudos to the fee who can). GS is just right and awesome for everyday use except for all those people eyeballing me. Sooo many thumbs up when I drive it. Watkins Glen next

[@BrianMakse]

Great car! Enjoy!

[@blazing9034]

I recently purchased a 2019 Grand Sport and I also created a KZbin channel to share my ownership experiences. This was an excellent review, as always! Looking forward to seeing more content

[@BrianMakse]

Congrats! Thanks, and tell your friends!

[@edventures9884]

loved the sound it makes! I can't wait to upgrade from my c6 to a c7 gs

[@BillyBJohnson]

I love this car. Great performance. A true super car for a pretty damn cheap price tag

[@KISSfan1973]

Fantastic, thank you! I just bought a 2017 in the Watkins Glen Gray Metallic and should have possession by 2/15/2023. I appreciate your assessment of the car and can't wait to drive it!

[@BrianMakse]

Fantastic car. One of my all time faves.

[@nickvarga463]

Just purchased a '18 GS....this car is effing sublime!!! Great vid

[@BrianMakse]

Congrats! What spec did you get?

[@nickvarga463]

@@BrianMakse Thanks! 7sp manual 2LT in Watkins Glen Gray Metallic. To give some better perspective, I was coming from an ATS-V, which is no slouch as you know, the GS is next level in every way

[@demorestautosport]

Beautiful Noises from this one! Great review too. Thanks Brian!

[@BrianMakse]

Any time Robtastic!

[@Fluterra]

For off track use, the Stingray is the way to go.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I'm sold. Thank you.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks!

[@mjareacts2731]

As usual a fantastic review, and I'm really considering this Corvette. I own a new Silverado and a new Impala premium, but I'm definitely considering this Corvette to carve up some roads on the weekend. Thank you for the review once again.

[@BrianMakse]

+marlon alston thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

[@mjareacts2731]

Brian Makse definitely! Keep the reviews coming brother.

[@BrianMakse]

We're on a roll with good stuff every Friday!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Racing Yellow Tintcoat actually looks great with the GS, especially with black hash marks

[@BrianMakse]

I'll take a black GS manua, please!

[@trevorwilliams6409]

Brian you just gotta get us one on that new Zl1s baby! We know you want to! 🤘 Great show as always Brother, beautiful car. New Zr1 will be truly insane

[@BrianMakse]

+Trevor Williams working on the ZL1 right now in one of our spectacular settings! Can't wait for the ZR1...

[@TWHISPERER]

I wish this video was longer and you covered more technical information but i still liked it...long road trips huh? Even to Vegas...

[@BrianMakse]

Yep. I put 700 miles on it while in California. But I loathe Vegas.

[@TWHISPERER]

Good to know it was comfortable to drive for 700 miles because it's 750 miles to Vegas for me...wait, i can't even afford one anyways.

[@jackolbean4765]

finally, a car review that let's us hear the motor!! :D

[@BrianMakse]

That’s what we do. More coming.

[@idin1976]

Good channel. Good videos and content. Subscribed.

[@BrianMakse]

+idin1976 cheers, thanks!

[@Captain_Nightspore]

Excellent review, thanks!

[@MrLer1954]

Love it! thanks for the review, it's made my mind up over the Z06 because other than HP your not sacrificing performance at all and save the$!

[@michaeldyer6304]

Agreed..

[@TotalLifeVictoryTV]

Great review. Love your format!

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, don’t tell us, tell your friends!

[@nogoogleplus]

Thanks for doing this vid....I'm going to pick my new GS up this Friday, and your vid got me totally psyched! I even live in Cali wondering what road you were driving on, looked like a fun one....somewhere near Topanga yes?

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks for watching? No, that's not our location. Happy to share the location privately any time.

[@davesmith1574]

Brian Makse , Excellent review of C7 GS.

[@chuckdavis572]

Welp, I bought one. Even though I'm tall and don't fit with a helmet on. I ordered the polycarbonate roof, though - and hope that gives me the head room I need. Car arrives in a week!

[@kajnygaardpedersen8652]

I get one in 2017 its a very fantastic car.

[@ElectricBlueIX]

As always an excellent video review! How bout that 6th gen 1LE Camaro review??

[@BrianMakse]

Waiting on GM Canada to sort that for us, unless we find a privately owned model.

[@OMERDULI]

Hey Brian, great review and love the cuts. Quick question regarding the view, it appears that the front fenders are way to high and if your vision was obstructed at all. it feels that you see a lot of the hood and fenders, compare to other sport cars that give you that full front view with minimal obstruction. thoughts?

[@BrianMakse]

+Omer Duli ha ha! You should try my race cars! You can't see anything out of them! Forward vision is above average in the Corvette, no worries.

[@michaelanderson5975]

I think it was a great informative video it really gave you a chance to hear the engine opened up on an open road I'm tossed up between the stingray or the Grand Sport what a nice problem to have huh and also I'm undecided about color my trusses are yellow white or red my favorite color is orange but I don't see too many of those so I will look when the time comes which should be soon thank you for your information and enjoy your car that's what it's built for I definitely can't wait to enjoy mine thank you

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks. That’s why we do this, despite all the money and fame.

[@alipontiac]

By any chance if you can review R8 Plus.

[@r9i8c7k]

Awesome review....great job!

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you liked it! This is an old one.

[@r9i8c7k]

Funny how 3 years is “old” in today’s fast pace world.

[@theologix01]

Engine sounds great even on iPad speakers!

[@BrianMakse]

+theologix01 we work hard at getting the sound right. Glad you enjoyed.

[@harley48ryder6]

Got my 2018 ❤️

[@BrianMakse]

How's the street racing?

[@BushmasterM4A3]

Do you remember what mic was used outside the car?

[@BrianMakse]

Not a chance, that was years ago.

[@gregoryhill5162]

I liked your video keep up the great work.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! Hope you subscribed!

[@billtusim3612]

i just bought one, great car.

[@BrianMakse]

Congrats! Enjoy!

[@rdoogie71]

Another quality review. I'm really enjoying this channel. This car was right in my wheelhouse lately as I considered it, an M4 w/ comp pack, an AMG C63 Coupe, and a 718 Cayman S. At the end of the day, I chose the 718 Cayman S as I LOVED the quality inside and out and (most importantly) the overall balance of the car. The new car will be a third car, so storage, etc... wasn't as important. Sadly, I would have like to more highly considered the Grand Sport but of the four Chevy dealers I visited, not ONE allowed a test drive of a new C7 (based, GS, or the Z06). A common them from the sales reps was, "sir, we don't allow test drives of the Corvette because Corvette buyers don't like to have any mileage on their cars." Shame on you Chevy, shame.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! Typical old school stealership behaviour. You won't be disappointed with the Cayman. Did you catch our 718 Boxster first drive video review? I also drove the 718 Cayman S at the same time, great car.

[@rdoogie71]

Thanks. I caught your review of the Cayman while in Austin along with MotoMan and Matt Farah's reviews. They were all helpful. Please keep up the great work!

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! George and Matt are great!

[@rdoogie71]

My apologies for the typos and errors. I'm posting via my mobile at the moment. I meant to say I did see your review of the Boxster in Austin along with the Cayman reviews of the other two. Anyhow, it would appear you, me, and Farah see the same barber (so to speak). Ha!

[@BrianMakse]

No worries, I totally understood. Speaking of typos, I just did one of those - booked entirely the wrong flight. This hair cut is a massive time saver, isn't it? The last barber I visited was in Grand Junction before filming the Flyin Miata. Great bloke.

[@jassimalserkal1604]

Nice video and well put together...... am getting my new GS in Feb. with full on ZO7 package, will go nice with my 2015 stingray...... still holding out on the ZO6..... if Chevy decides on the midship vette..... it will blow the super car World into orbit..... fingers crossed they deliver , am sure the bowtie team will do great job

[@johnadams9044]

Why do the Z06 Corvette suffer from vicious stumble and hesitation off idle? Don't deny it. They DO!

[@anthonyaztiptoenailsandspa7259]

Brian, is this the high way between Salinas and Carmel Valley? Nice Car. I just got a 2019 with z07 and still waiting for it to be shipped from Ohio.

[@BrianMakse]

This is in So Cal. Congrats on the Z07! Great car!

[@Johnny_Zoom]

Great video. Honestly how much faster and better overall is the ZO6? The Grand Sport is great but why would anyone buy it if you can get the 650 horsepower ZO6?

[@BrianMakse]

+Leslie Izumi it's not faster, but I think it's a more approachable package for the majority of drivers than Z06.

[@lizmyers469]

Leslie Izumi Because nobody needs 650 HP, your tires on a Z06 will last you maybe 3k miles, For a 15k price difference you're better off saving it spending 5k for a Chevy ProCharger and making your GS faster than a Z06.

[@kitwongsegacom]

its a super car from usa meant to complete with other exotic cars...

[@ac80577]

great car

[@TWHISPERER]

You say it's an easy car to drive and anyone can drive it so do you mean someone who has never driven a 400+Hp car can get into it and hit the gas and be able to handle it or do you just mean at cruising speeds?

[@thorandmoljnir]

Oh, the sound of a Chevy small block! Ear candy.

[@chuckdavis572]

Love the grand sport - unfortunately I am 6'3" and can't fit in it with a helmet on. That's ok though, my 6th gen Camaro does a great job and has a back seat for my munchkin to sit in.

[@jondough7777777]

Snafu thanks for your feedback. Years ago I got in a vette and my head was touching the roof. I'm not into convertibles. And I really like this car. I'm 6'1"

[@chuckdavis572]

So I heard over the weekend that the upgraded seats sit higher than stock. And these were in the corvette i tried. Will have to try with standard seats.

[@ZZLZ-cj8tl]

Excellent! Best C7 ever!

[@blairbrown4812]

IMO,the closest thing to a GT that America has ever produced,at least until the advent of a Hellcat Challenger.

[@BrianMakse]

This is the best Corvette in recent memory.

[@tonystylesofficial6844]

Isn’t it z06? Thought I heard Z07

[@BrianMakse]

Grand Sport.

[@ckarsenal]

Any over heating issues?

[@BrianMakse]

+ckarsenal no. Why?

[@coureurdebois]

people keep trying to claim that the LT1 will over heat because the LT4 has 1% of cases where the engines pulled power due to their tune.

[@BrianMakse]

That's so lame. This car was perfect the entire time.

[@chuckdavis572]

The supercharged Z06 had heat issues. The grand sport is naturally aspirated. It doesn't have any heat issues.

[@chuckdavis572]

It's highly disenguous of chevy to claim that only 5% of Z06's had the overheating issue - as it's that 5% of owners who actually track their cars. The Z06 is known to overheat when tracked. They remedied this on the new Camaro zl1 by adding 11 heat exchangers. They haven't done this on the z06 yet.

[@zacharybornhoft8081]

For the kind of money they charge for a grand sport you could honestly buy a base to mid level Z06. Might as well just go for the Z06. Your not using all the power on public roads anyway and you don't have to push the engine as hard with all the extra power and torque. To each their own but that's how I honestly feel about the grand sport. Nice car overall but you can get the Z06 for not that much more and way more power.

[@totowolf9716]

Zachary Bornhoft or save a 10-20k get the 3lt package and put a procharger on it, new filter and plugs and be making up to 750 hp

[@hayabusa27]

Youre so good man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@coureurdebois]

love it

[@bennybodash855]

Great video but the audio is very obnoxious. Your not shooting a movie.

[@gregoryhill5162]

My next move 2017 GPC 🤗

[@danielcox6397]

wait, I got it...Kanan-Dume Road

[@BrianMakse]

Nope, not even close.

[@prazzy4712]

C7's look and sound amazing, their Achilles heal is the laggy partial throttle response that is a function of the non-linear throttle programming...significantly takes away from the driving experience...ask me how I know

[@BrianMakse]

+Lava Peter no throttle mapping issues with this GS

[@prazzy4712]

unless they remapped the throttle for the GS and altered the torque management system then it's still there, you just didn't experience it because you were in the higher rpm ranges and mashing the throttle for the most part

[@BrianMakse]

+Lava Peter Seriously. I drove it for a total of seven hundred miles across Southern California on every kind of road. There are no throttle mapping issues with this car. At which point did I "mash" the throttle? I didn't even do a freaking burnout in this car.

[@prazzy4712]

Brian Makse interesting...we all experience things differently

[@teamhmongolhmongoutdoorsch638]

[@BrianMakse]

I don't follow.

Wasn’t looking for it in the first place.

Why not 520 hp ? To bad !!

[@BrianMakse]

Why?

[@Top_g80comp]

Chevy Camaro has the worst car interior I have ever seen 😄🤦🏻‍♂️

[@papocam3853]

To make this model even better, Chevy should have included an updated LS7.

Emissions and ROI.

[@totowolf9716]

Everyone likes to steal from Audi (wheels lights )

[@johnadams9044]

You are so in 'love' with the car that your are the last person qualified to objectively review the Gran Sport. The video is just you gushing over the car. Poor credibility.

[@BrianMakse]

+John Adams It's so awesome to be a baseless critic. Can't find your Grand Sport review for some reason.

[@JoseGarcia-uj9hn]

I didn'tvet it we knowit's a great car butt comper to what

[@viivcreations9161]

what if you swapped engine with a dodge demon for that 800+ stock hp engine lol

[@BrianMakse]

It would be a disaster.
