Used 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe

Johnny Liberman, with Motortrend said You did what? I asked a friend who bought a Corvette with an automatic transmission. I know he had some extra traffic, knee, he is a bad person but I dont remember it. Who on earth would buy an automatic Corvette when there is a perfectly good row-your-own available? For less money, too. Here is the crazy part: Only 23 percent of the Corvettes sold in 2016 were manuals. SMH, as the kids say, though I guess I do live in a silicon dioxide-ceramic tower I barely ever see automatic Corvettes, let alone consider purchasing one. All this is a fancy preamble to explain that we tested a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport with an eight-speed automatic transmission. But fear not We also tested a manual Grand Sport. We are good like that. For those not familiar with concept, the Grand Sport is to Corvette what GTS is to Porsche. Think about the 911 GTS, for example. You take most of the popular performance options from the Carrera S, throw in the wide body kit from the Turbo, and price it so that aftermarket mods would cost about twice as much. This pays off in the corners.
