The C7 Corvette is the final generation of the front engine Corvettes from Chevrolet. On the outside of the Grand Sport you will find the Z06's wider body work, 6-piston Brembo brakes and GM Performance exhaust. On the inside you will find the classic red interior, digital gauge display and 8in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 pumping out 460HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2017 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Grand Sport the must BUY sports car?

What I love about the C7 is that even though the C8 has been out for 3 years now, the C7 still doesn’t look old. I love the C7, especially with the manual option.

Just to note You could get a C7 GS with carbon flash rear top intake vents over the left and right sides if you purchased either a 2LT or 3LT package. Only on the 1LT was it the color of the body paint. Another correction I took my GS to just under 192MPH. Stock aside from my AFE intake and a throttle booster. A great naturally aspirated beast…

I now have 21k miles on my 2017 2LT C7 Grand Sport and it has been a great car so far! My car is also white but with chrome wheels, black interior, and no hash marks(I don’t personally like black rims or hash marks). The car has more than enough power and is very solid. It drives like it’s on rails. For me, if I’m looking at later generation Corvettes, I’ll take the C7 over the C8 any day because it still looks like the classic corvette proportionally. IMHO the C8 looks like a toy European Hot Wheels Car with a Corvette badge stuck on it. Way too busy for my taste but to each his own. If I buy another vette, it will be a C2. For me, they are the most beautiful Corvettes ever made.

Bought a 2LT GS back in 2017. Had to order it since I wanted a manual and the competition seats. Been a great car, 51k miles so far. On road trips this thing gets 26-27 mpg and the only negative is the road noise from those big run flats. On the track this thing is super predictable, a bit of understeer unless you trial brake excessively, and no temperature issues. The only thing I think is a little meh is the push rod sound. At full throttle it sounds great, but everywhere else it's just kind of meh. Would love to get a new Z06 just for the sound but those markups are ridiculous. No issues continuing to drive this old GS, super fun.

I love mine. 2017 GS 3LT. Bought it with 3k miles three years ago and been daily driving it since, up to 35k now. Put one set of tires on it, and have had to replace 3 of my rear rims due to cracking (buyer beware). But that’s it. 19 mpg avg since I’ve had it. I pulled the NPP fuse for meaner exhaust sound all the time, not just higher RPMs. Competition seats are surprisingly comfortable, plenty of cargo space, versatile magnetic suspension, easy to take the targa off frequently, no rattles, etc. Buy one. I’ll miss mine when I have to give it up to collect my C8 Z06 allocation.

I personally think the Z06 just has too much power for the chassis, and it ends up hurting the car on the track. This thing is perfectly balanced on the track with just the right amount of power.

PShh for 50-60k people don’t realize how much car you’re getting in a c7. I think it’s funny when people go buy challengers or mustangs and spend over 50k when cars like this are still out there. I’ve driven a 12 Ferrari 458 and the c7 is pretty close in handling and performance. The whole car is carbon fiber and fiber glass hydrogel composite. No door dings or hail damage. The alarms, stereos, electronics all user friendly and well thought out. And yes the c8 is a better car but you’re also spending 30-40k more. This car is hands down the best car for that price. You’re essentially getting a taste of a supercar
