Vehicle Description
2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 2LT Coupe
Duntov commissioned and supervised the construction of the original
Corvette Grand Sport after its popularity in Europe and similar
wins in the United States. Duntov was looking forward to unveiling
the prototype at the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans and hoped for
success. To meet homologation rules for the GT production class, at
least 125 ultra-light, high-powered cars were to be built. When the
2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport debued, adding the legendary nameplate
to the seventh-generation Corvette it featured track-ready
aerodynamics, Z06-inspired body parts, and a naturally aspirated
6.2-liter LT1 V8 that pays homage to the racing pedigree developed
decades ago
For consignment, a 2017 version of the iconic Corvette Grand Sport
Heritage Package. A Watkins Glen Gray exterior with red hash mark
highlighting, the Carbon Fiber package, Jet Black interior, a
worked over 6.2-liter V8 upping the pony count to a dyno proven 675
thanks to a supercharger and an AEM methanol injection system, and
an 7-speed manual transmission with rev matching capabilities, all
in Grand Sport form, how can one go wrong? Simple you can't....not
with this 8,141 title verified actual mile example gracing our
Hallowed Halls. Buckle up, it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

public highways in your area
Exterior
High intensity headlamps lead the way along with Xenon parking and
running lamps which are bordered at the bottom with a carbon fiber
splitter in front. A large black grille feeds plenty of air into
the engine bay and in keeping with tradition, a subtle but
effective Corvette cove, now barely discernible, is within the
front quarters. Noted are the red double stripes only on the
driver's quarter top fender. With extremely raked back front glass,
almost like a chopped roofline, rolls gently up and down, and has
carbon fiber Watkins Glen Gray matching roof panels which can be
removed for some extra thrills and airflow. There is a carbon fiber
hood, rear spoiler and side rocker extensions which are somewhat an
ode to the former side pipes that would grace the predecessors of
this beautiful sports car. On back, racy taillights and a black
rear roll panel if you will sport quad exhaust in the center. All
of this is bathed in the OEM applied Watkins Glen Gray finish that
has been treated to an Xpel Ultimate PPF to keep the shine miles
deep. Tinted glass all around adds to the menacing aspect and
19-inch front and 20-inch rear Grand Sport wheels which are
polished and chromed aluminum are wrapped in the factory OEM tires
right from Michelin.
Interior
Jet Black leather and suede GT bucket seats with 8-way power
adjusters provide the cockpit seating arrangement. Heat and A/C are
available, power windows, a central drivers info center, and a
telescoping steering column with a suede wrapped rally wheel and
paddle shifters front this high tech dash. The 8-inch touchscreen
offers up plenty of accessible features including Bluetooth, Apple
CarPlay, Android Auto, 4GLTE WIFI, and XM radio which you'll need a
subscription for. A very simple central digital LED dash displays a
tachometer switchable to a speedometer display, and digital oil psi
and water temp gauges on either side. Analog pointer gauges flank
on either side and provide the rest of the data needed to carry on.
Also noted in the central dash are plenty of buttons to control
temp of seats, air flow front and rear defrost and A/C. A wide
central console which doubles as an armrest and storage houses the
shift lever and a wheel style mouse to make handling and suspension
changes on the fly. All beautifully taken care of and in near mount
clean condition for this interior.
Drivetrain
Fairly unassuming until a pop of the hood, but there is a caged
monster under those plastic coverings! 6.2 liters of A&A
supercharged V8 with direct injection and variable valve timing
awaits us and has been fitted with a Mighty Mouse catch can, AEM
methanol injection, and a Baro-Breakout 3 bar MAP sensor. This
combination works together to generate a dyno proven 675.19hp at
the rear tires. On back for this Grand Sport is a 7-speedmanual
transmission with rev match capability and an active limited slip
3.42 geared rear axle.Cooks headers and a flex fuel package are on.
Pull those belts tight just one more time!
Undercarriage
All clean and rust free we see 4-wheel independent suspension with
active handling and magnetic ride control. There is speed sensitive
power steering, a rear differential cooler, and multi-mode exhaust.
Brembo brakes in power disc form are on all 4 corners with slotted
rotors.
Drive-Ability
A mighty roar with the push of a button, and we were off to the
test track. Handling was wonderful, braking on a dime, and infinite
acceleration quickly overwhelmed the test track. Ergonomically it
is very comfy once you get in, (it's very low!), and all functions
were working as they should.
With hash marks, carbon fiber, a front splitter and rear spoiler,
huge wheels, and all the handling and magnetic controls for
suspension available, you can virtually set up this car for a
racing setup, or a Sunday cruise, all the while you will look great
doing it. You are in an example of America's Sports Car.
