Couldn't wait any longer - bought a Stingray

DCNISMO · 12-18-2016, 10:53 AM

The dealers have huge discounts on the C7 now, plus used ones are in the 40k range. Had I not bought my 2009 911 4S last month I would be looking C7 too.

I like it.

ChaseZ · 12-19-2016, 12:27 AM

Looks sharp. Like the Z06

POS VETT · 12-19-2016, 05:55 AM

Uh, it's a Grand Sport.

Zoren 370 · 12-19-2016, 06:02 AM

Well as they say in the Z06 world the GS is the fake Z06!

What the hell who cares!!! Im drooling with envy!!

Clifford help me!!!

The GS actually out handles the Z06 because the power is manageable @ 460HP, but the Z06 is an untamed beast pushing 640HP so all that fake this and that crap can blow a gasket somewhere else, the GS is a great car as all Corvettes are IMO.

By all means Im glad the GS is out there as an option, I would not even consider the GS as inferior in anyway. Who cares if some people at corvette forum calls it as such. But I do think they dont mean it in a negative way. Some people have different perspective how they see things. I do. I see the positive in negatives.

What the heck...Im even proud to say I drive a fake Nismo. Lol
Yes sir I really do.

Op congratulations!!!...your living my dream.

Just waiting for the stars and moon to line up in the right direction I would go the same route.
But I would still keep my fake nismo and get a fake Z06(GS)

Then i would have 2 fake sports cars! Lol

Check this out:

Car and Driver lightning lap Grand Sport, 911 GT3 and McLaren 570-all run 2.47's - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

From that thread and the image on it that showed all the top car's standings in the Lightning Lap:

Quote:

Man you look the list of cars that the GS has beat and is pretty incredible. Better times than the Audi R8, Nissan GTR, 911 Turbo, BMW M4 GTS, Mercedes Benz AMG GT, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Mclaren 570S and it also beat the New Acura NSX easily by 3 seconds. I am pretty sure that even the new MB AMG GT-R is going to have a hard time going below 2:47

It's not a "fake" anything (and I know you weren't agreeing with people who try to denigrate it as such). it's all the good stuff from the Z06 except the overheating LT4/supercharger.

For track the GS is the better option anyways
the Z06 is way to much and if you have the AT you have overheating problems

Im this close to selling my Nismo and buying a Z06 for Street/Cars and coffee duty , ive seen used ones for 70K when new they were 100K +
