    Keep up the great work my friend...watched this during my lunch break at work.

    I appreciate Kyle's videos. For example with the Corvette I would never have noticed that the current generation has a dual-mode exhaust system. He showed that to us several videos ago. Great attention to detail and good videos with good variety. Keep up the good work.

    Once again I love how the gauges flip forward when you start the car. = )

    correction, this doesnt have a overhead cam. it has a single cam in the middle of the block with pushrods

    Base price for the GS convertible was around $56k when new. I bought mine a few months ago for way less than that. I have the same car (blk/blk/blk).

    I've driven one of these last February. It was my cousin's friend who worked at GM as an electrical engineer and had it as a company car. I had fun, great handling I think and I was able to slide the back out on the highway. :P Only thing I didn't like was it felt it was dragging a bit when I step on it. Not sure b/c it was an auto or just had a lot of torque.

    @2010challengerRT 13 років тому

    Hey Kyle, are you sure that's a SOHC V8? I could be wrong but i thought they were pushrod OHV engines. Either way I love your videos,i'm a big fan!

  • @Perfect5Recurve
    @Perfect5Recurve 13 років тому

    @kickinthebase I did the math. According to the XE currency converter site, if you were buying this particular model which costs $59,525 US, it works out to 330,329.59 Danish Krone.

  • @bleachman9000
    @bleachman9000 11 років тому

    yes, depending what model you get, Z06's can get optional Carbon Fiber whilst ZR1's get it standard.

    We are almost in 2012 and it still has a plastic lock for the convertible??

  • @moonscoasttocoast
    @moonscoasttocoast 13 років тому +1

    Is that really a typo in the heads-up display? "Check Gages." It should be "Check Gauges."

  • @Oxyquatzal7
    @Oxyquatzal7 13 років тому

    Did you film this recently or is it just warm all the time down there? I ask because I noticed you were wearing shorts.

  • @caldon03
    @caldon03 9 років тому

    Pretty well done and thanks. However, you used the term "tonneau cover" incorrectly twice when putting the soft top down and describing the molding behind the seats. Also you did not mention the manual transmission gets you the dry sump oil system that the automatic does not come with.

  • @dubboy9001

  • @mastertweeker
    @mastertweeker 13 років тому

    @cerrystyle ....just the details that are lacking. You see what I mean? Why does the Vette has to have a partially manual roof and the SLS is fully electrical? and so on...

  • @Perfect5Recurve
    @Perfect5Recurve 13 років тому

    @kickinthebase anywhere from $49,525 for the base 2012 coupé to $111,525 for the ZR1. The Grand Sport Convertible as seen here has a retail price of $59,525.

  • @JoshJW11
    @JoshJW11 13 років тому

    I love this car, GM just really needs to put their next generation navigation system in this! The same one that can be found in other new Chevy's the Cruze, the Volt etc.

  •  13 років тому

    Great video. When the time comes to replace those mufflers, they must cost plenty.

    @LordKevin92 Actually it would hurt more because the safety systems employed in your typical German saloon are a grade above those used in Chevys.

  • @ca13814
    @ca13814 13 років тому

    @saabkyle04 So the Grand Sport is basically a regular Corvette with ZO6 bumbers and apperance with a little bit of ZR1 in the suspension and ride?

  • @PiedmontYS11
    @PiedmontYS11 13 років тому

    Automatic transmission on a Corvette. *face palm* That should be illegal.
    Either way, I always enjoy your videos Kyle...keep em coming.

  • @Happy2SprayU
    @Happy2SprayU 13 років тому

    Love corvettes but I have to have a manual. I feel a greater sense of accomplishment driving without aids, regardless of if I am slower than an auto.

  • @cerrystyle
    @cerrystyle 13 років тому

    @ca13814
    ... But don't forget the engine! that's a LS3! GS is just a model with a mix of Z06 features and ZR1 components...

  • @TruJoker1
    @TruJoker1 13 років тому

    @mahadbaba09 No it shouldn't, Aston Martin doesn't offer hardtop convertibles either. A vette is about being light weight, this was the first generation to have a power top as an option based on weight savings.

      I agree. It's crazy that Vettes with autos are underrated. They are badass with them. My uncle has one same color and all the only difference is it's not an convertible and his is a 2013. :)
