I had 84 & 85 C4s. The tops were a big hassle to take on and off back then. These new Vetts are so much nicer all the way around. I drive my buddies 2017 two weeks ago in Orman Beach FL and what a fun drive. I will be getting one next...
+Cole Thornton I got that, and then some. It was seen but ignored by those who would trigger a radar detector, and it would elicit many to roll down their windows at stop lights. It also got me from point a to point b much quicker than I was used to.
My dad has a yellow grand sport. I'm 6.2ft and I barely fit in the car. I think 6.2 is the max height unless you take the top off :P I daily a 2017 Camaro SS Fifty Edition. A lot more comfortable lol. But there's nothing like the Corvette experience :)
I own a C6 Z06 fit perfectly. In the C7 my head is a inch from the headliner thats how bad it is im only 6 2. Two Cars salesman have told me i dont fit thats how cramped i look in it. 1 of the car salesman said he couldnt fit either. Ed Welburn is a midget so....
New Car Spin sorry, it's just that most people who edit using a mobile device or something they have to deal with a watermark unless they pay a subscription to kinemaster. Many people call it unofficial. You video is pretty professional in my eyes exept for the watermark. But that's a nice car you go there dude. I want to get one some day.
I've had my 2017 Z06/07 since June 31, 2017, so a little over 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. I can't believe how practical it is with all the storage space in the cabin, and in the back. I've got a 2013 Gen V Viper GTS as well, and it is good, but not even in the same league as the Vette. I bought some knock off wheels (19" all around instead of 20" rears), studded 285/35/19 Nokian Hakkappilitta snow tires, stuck a couple pan heaters to it, and I'm driving it all year round up here in Canada, where it was -33C a couple days ago. It's absolutely brilliant. Totally planted on snow and ice, command start, heated seats, awesome heater........on and on........... You really don't need another car!! My STi has been sitting in the driveway all winter............ :( I've had the car out in conditions you wouldn't even dream a car like this could handle........um........yes it can....quite well actually. 'Murica FTW!!
Lee Douglas Just confirming that you are able to drive this in snow?I wam thinking about getting one but I feel like it’s a waste to be making car payments and have to park it during winter.
Im 6'2 250+ lbs and i fit just fine in my '15 C7. Even on long trips it was comfortable and i can fit a full sized suitcase in the hatch with room to spare
I have a 2016 Zo6. It is very comfortable and running like a bat out of hell. I am 72 and have had 9 vettes over the years, so I have the ability to cmpare. C5s were great and got the vettes to be very nice. Had c6 grand sport that was even nicer. My current zo6 is just about perfect, Chevy has got it right,
Greetings from Florida 😊 I have a 2019 Grand Sport , I’m 6 ft 5” tall and weigh 230 pounds and even at 69 years old it’s not horribly bad getting in and out of this Bad Boy 😊
Instead of a simple, straightforward removal roof piece as we find on the vette, the 2017 Targa's ENTIRE top and upper rear portion of the car fold up like origama -which adds about 200 lbs of unnecesary weight and fortune to your repair bills when the silly thing breaks. Kudos to GM for using common sense.
+Mark Summers Funny enough, this removable top is standard. I see a lot of Corvettes in Dallas and Nome of them have their top off. I'm wondering if any of the drivers even know. It took me no time to see it, mostly because my mom had a 1982 Mazda RX7 when I was growing up.
I have a 2019 corvette stingray and I’ve done a trip from Florida to Virginia now and I wouldn’t say it’s a comfortable ride. I love my vet , but brother it’s gonna make your butt sore. Theses cars are not made for comfort, they are made for speed. Just my personal observation.
There's not an exhaust "button" but putting it in sport/track mode is essentially the same function as it will keep the outer exhaust valves open and thus louder. Not to mention there is an option in the settings menu to keep the exhaust in that way (tour/sport) regardless of drive mode
My Friends little brother once tried to convince me that corvette and Camaro were enemies and that corvette was a car company on its own. I have never seen a child so red when me and my friend destroyed him!
Love it bro. New to the channel. I’ve been looking into these for a while. 2018 is a great year but that exterior package. Is that the 3LT with a manual transition?
There is not enough headroom with a helmet on. If you’re gunna track a corvette and are 6’ or taller, buy the see through roof. It affords another 3/4” headroom
I've been looking to buy a corvette grand sport soon looking for the years of 2015-2018 the only problem is that I want one with the hard top roof to transition to a convertible like the one in this video I just don't know the exact model for that
Every new (c7) Corvette comes with a removable hard top. www.cars.com/articles/your-corvette-has-a-removable-roof-%25E2%2580%2594-do-you-need-a-convertible-1420697523044/

6’5” 220lb here and I fit just fine drive it everyday
How much it cost you?
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. I bet when you are out on the road you get a lot of "thumbs up" and jealous looks.

Chevy, do the right thing & Include an updated version of the LS -7, 427CID. It should have a engine exclusively for the GRAND SPORT. WAKE UP G.M.! $$
GM is too busy farting around with workplace diversity. I like your idea, though. Diversity in product lineup is what they should focus on.
Great car !! I love my 2016 Camaro also, and the exhaust sounds great on it, too !!
My dad has a yellow grand sport. I'm 6.2ft and I barely fit in the car. I think 6.2 is the max height unless you take the top off :P

This. The car is not comfortable im over 6ft and cant fit in it at all.
Pro M damn lol. I fit in it and drive around fine. I did have the seat all the way back and to the floor tho
I own a C6 Z06 fit perfectly. In the C7 my head is a inch from the headliner thats how bad it is im only 6 2. Two Cars salesman have told me i dont fit thats how cramped i look in it. 1 of the car salesman said he couldnt fit either. Ed Welburn is a midget so....
Pro M I hit mt head on the cross "roll bar" behind the removable roof if I put my head back lol
lol
Wish i had this car
That interior is the one
The trunk space is huge
I’m 6’3”, 265 pounds, bodybuilder. I flopped in the Vette ok, salesman had to help me get out. Love the car, but going to buy Camaro zl-1
You need yoga.

Poor guy doesn't know that there is a free kinemaster apk with no watermark
Nor do I care.

America's Grand Tourer.
3:45 And THAT is why you buy a Corvette.

you talk like you own an expensive car, but then we look at your picture and it turns out you have a shit box. Hahaha loser
my 2017 is comfortable but one of the loudest road noise cars made in America.
Nice Vette that Grand Sport. Liked it plenty. Glamorous. Practical. Sporty. Good job, brother.
Outside of it being an Automatic....nice car..👌🏿
How tall are ypu? Good to throw that in for reference when showing the headroom. Thanks! 👍
6' tall 275Lbs.
Stunning vehicle
With a car that looks like that, who cares about being comfortable! LOL

I'm 5' 4'', and 438 lbs. Will this car make me look sexy?
That's what the C8 is for. Buy one if you're also bald. You'll look great in the Walgreens drive thru.
It looks nice 👍🏼

Now that the Lexus LC500 is out, I agree.
There's not an exhaust "button" but putting it in sport/track mode is essentially the same function as it will keep the outer exhaust valves open and thus louder. Not to mention there is an option in the settings menu to keep the exhaust in that way (tour/sport) regardless of drive mode
I’ve been looking for this color combination do you want to sell me your car ? Thanks
It's not my car. GM gave it to me for a week. I'm an automotive journalist.
@@RoadandTract Oh OK I’m new to your channel just discovered it today but thank you for the quick response
Thanks for watching!
I like the paint, missing stripes though!!!!
Nice!
Why is that spoiler not attached to the hatch so it is out of the way,
the lift to get over that spoiler is higher than my pickup truck bed.
My Friends little brother once tried to convince me that corvette and Camaro were enemies and that corvette was a car company on its own. I have never seen a child so red when me and my friend destroyed him!
You got to be at least six foot with your head that close to the roof of the car while you drive.
O yea
Love it bro. New to the channel. I’ve been looking into these for a while. 2018 is a great year but that exterior package. Is that the 3LT with a manual transition?
3LT automatic
So he compared it to a z?
There is not enough headroom with a helmet on. If you’re gunna track a corvette and are 6’ or taller, buy the see through roof. It affords another 3/4” headroom
Good to know. Thanks!
Z driver: c'mon man... grab the hook that latches the trunk lid - you don't need to gunk up the paint with your greasy paws.
That hook is supposed to be greased.
Nice video
Sweet!
I've been looking to buy a corvette grand sport soon looking for the years of 2015-2018 the only problem is that I want one with the hard top roof to transition to a convertible like the one in this video I just don't know the exact model for that

Thank You!
YOU DIDNT SAY IF THE RIDE WAS COMFORTABLE OR NOT! wtf!!!!!
Did that video make you uncomfortable?
man that looks nice silver with the side vents.sweet...
How is it driving on the highway with the top off? Is there any wind buffeting when you go 70-80mph?
It feels like a convertible. You don't get any wind trapped in the cabin area. It's much louder, which is a great consequence.
Taking the top off is cool around town but at highway speeds not real practical. Noisey & the back window acts like a parachute.
A Score to settle!
Are all the C7s with that removable roof?
Yes.
at 6ft 2 not enough leg room
Thanks , I bought the same car
Congrats!
How tall are you?

Great review 👍
