I would def go for the GS for those of us who don't need monster power of the Z06. A used one could be a good deal if under warranty. Better handling with 4 full inches more out the back, LSD, dry sump, brakes, Z06 looks. Then sell it to get a used next gen Vette.

Great review. I particularly appreciate your explanations of interplay of performance and design for the Corvette. For example, the venting for cooling the transaxle which is I turn used to better distribute weight. This really makes me appreciate the car’s design. Bravo!

Great review and thanks for the review Joe. I actually prefer the vertical bars in the grill if the corvette that resemble the C1 Vettes. I saw an aftermarket replacement that had wider than production vertical bars shaped more like those on the C1 in black carbon fiber and it looked incredible. I think that at some time during the C8s run GM should go for broke with it and make it in either carbon fiber, black stainless or black chrome.

After looking at a grandsport or z06, the singray looks really plain :/ Great job on differentiating between the trims/types!

Great Review. My only complaint and it is not just with you but with many. The Corvette, since 97 has had a rear mounted transmission and not a transaxle. They are technically 2 different things. The C8 is the first Corvette using a Transaxle where the transmission and differential are in 1 unit using 1 liquid. The C5, C6 and C7 all use transmissions with separate differentials. Other than that , I enjoyed the review. I recently made the mistake of going to a Chevy dealer where they had a white 2014 C7 Z51 3LT 6 speed auto with 18K miles. I fell in love with it and now trying to convince my wife to let my go pick it up.

Awesome review and cars, Joe. I'd be satisfied with either one, but given a choice, the GS is the way to go. To answer your question, yes, I think we won't see the GS or the Z06 for the first year generation C-8. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a big twin turbo V-6 as the engine for the C-8. The twin turbo 6 banger engine works very well in other sports cars, as you know. They can get a whole lot of ponies and torque from that engine. The space available for a big V-8 engine may not be there in a mid-engine design. It would be lighter as well, I'm thinking. Who the hell knows, Chevy may surprise everyone and offer both the C-7 and C-8 next year, since both are made in the same assembly plant. I here tell the sales are down on the 2019 model due to the anticipation of the C-8 coming out next year. Might be some great bargains at the dealerships later this year. Thanks again, keep em' comin'.

I hope its the last GS. Then the 63, 96, and C6 and C7 grand sports will be all the rarer and (hopefully) go up in value!

Has Chevrolet fixed the rim cracking on 2019 Corvettes yet? At least starting to cover them under warranty now?

I want the C8 but if it's not available then I will get the C7. Somebody at work gone say I'm too young for a corvette 🤨.

Did I miss something... the Grand Sport is basically a Z51 package with the Z06 body... or, conversely... the Z51 package is the Grand Sport without the extra weight. I bought a Z51 package, put in the Z06 front grill and front spoiler... works for me. :-)

Until you experience for yourself how much "stuff" you can fit in the back, you have no idea. When the mid-engine comes out, the only thing you'll be able to get in the Frunk will be your Man Bag and if you're traveling with wife, girlfriend, whatever, she may have to leave her Lady's Bag at home.
