This is a well cared for and fully loaded 2017 Chevrolet Corvette
Grand Sport with racing inspired upgrades from Lingenfelter
Performance Engineering. Two owners have logged just under 8,000
miles since new between climate controlled garages in California
and in Phoenix, Arizona. With a clean CARFAX, 3LT Comfort &
Convenience Package, Z07 Performance Upgrades, $95,000 sticker
price from GM and over $30,000 invested in the 700HP Lingenfelter
package, you're looking at a meticulously kept, showroom quality
Corvette. The Watkins Glen Gray Metallic Paint is accented with the
subtle Carbon Flash colored fender hash stripes that have become
synonymous with the Grand Sport Corvettes. A welcome addition to
the body of this car is a high quality paint protection film that
is only noticeable if you're looking for it. This protects the
paint from rock chips and scratches, without degrading the
brilliance of the paint. The removable roof on this Grand Sport is
made from lightweight carbon fiber with sueded microfiber headliner
and is painted to match the exterior of the Corvette. Further
setting this Vette apart from it's lesser optioned models is a
downforce adding carbon fiber front splitter, side rocker
extensions, and stage three aero rear spoiler. Further supporting
the level of care this Vette has received is the front splitter
that is free from blemishes, despite it's lower stance. The
sinister theme continues with the black aluminum wheels with a thin
red stripe, optional on the Grand Sport. On our inspection, we did
notice one very small chip on the passenger side rear wheel. The
optional Jet Black Napa leather perforated Competition Sport Seats
($1,995) offer thick bolstering and are contrasted with bright red
seat belts, both designed to hold the occupants in place in any
driving scenario. The interior still has the new car smell and the
leather still feels soft and supple, with no signs of wear. Because
this is a 3LT (the highest option for comfort and convenience
offered on the Grand Sport), the occupants can enjoy heated and
ventilated seats, a custom black leather wrapped dashboard, door
panels and center console, and the black sueded microfiber upper
trim package, among other welcome additions, detailed below. All of
these options remain in showroom condition. Mechanically, this
Corvette was purpose built to be very track capable, while
maintaining a drivability suitable for long commutes. The stock LT1
motor is known for having a very wide power band, and this Grand
Sport takes it a few steps further in performance by way of an
Eaton supercharger and other upgrades from Lingenfelter Performance
Engineering. After this Grand Sport left the facility in Bowling
Green, KY it was sent to Decatur, IN to the engineers at
Lingenfelter's headquarters to begin the metamorphosis into the
first 700HP packaged C7 Grand Sport. Upgrades include the
supercharger, ported heads, upgraded camshaft, LT4 fuel pump,
washable high flow air filter, ECM reprogramming, and Lingenfelter
chrome fender badges, and interior and engine badges. On our test
drive, the eight speed automatic shifted wonderfully and felt more
like a grand tourer than a thoroughbred race car. When we say that
this Corvette is fully loaded, we aren't just referring to the 3LT
Equipment Group. Looking at the original window sticker, you'll
notice that this Grand Sport was also given the Z07 Performance
Package. This was a $7,995 track-focused option package available
only to the Grand Sport and Z06 Corvettes. Included in the Z07
Package are Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes, Pilot Sport Cup Summer
Tires, and the specially tuned Z07 Suspension. The current owner
also added the aforementioned paint protection film, high quality
window tints, and a K40 radar/laser detection and dispersion kit
(with remote). Other features and options include: -Performance
Data & Video Recorder -Heads Up Display -Front & Rear Vision
Cameras -Magnetic Ride Control -Dry Sump Oil System -Rear
Differential Cooler -Premium Bose Surround Sound System Included
with the sale are the Grand Sport Indoor Vehicle Cover, Corvette
Branded Duffel Bag, Corvette Branded Battery Tender, and
