2017 Corvette Grand Sport: Don’t Buy Any Other Corvette
Jalopnik.com
By: Jeff Glucker


Automakers don’t pick their first drive locations by accident. This all takes months of planning with many site visits and much scouring of drive routes. The entire world knows that Atlanta turns into a bubbling bowl of stew during the summer, and Chevrolet knows that all of you are paying close attention to how the all-new 2017 Corvette Grand Sport performs when the heat is quite literally on. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Z06 has a few issues pertaining to the heat when it’s being pushed hard.
The good news for the Grand Sport is that it doesn’t have to worry about feeding all of the air and precious cooling fluids required by its bigger, badder brother. Instead of a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 pushing out 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, we’re dealing with the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8. This mighty mill is cranking out 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, and you can pair it with either a seven-speed manual gearbox or the eight-speed paddle-shift automatic.
