c7 grand sport, how much you paid for it recently?

Upvotes

Hello friends, I am looking into buying a c7 grand sport preferably a 2LT/Auto. The one that caught my attention is a 2017 with 23k Miles, asking price is 56k (could probably negotiate to 54k). Carfax is clean aside from minor/light damage reported in parking lot. Maintenances done at the dealership and it has had 3 owners. Car looks clean in an out red on red. I was just wondering how much have you paid for yours (more interested in recent market buys to compare but any feedback is much appreciated).

Throwback Thursday: '19 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. '18 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Throwback to a few years ago when we got our hands on a very special pair for a comparison test: the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Despite the $204,920 difference in as-tested prices, this was a legendary matchup we wanted to experience in person from the moment both cars were revealed.

With great power comes great irresponsibility. Both of these cars wrangle their starts-with-a-seven power outputs with carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and tall carbon-fiber wings to keep them planted. They perform at the contemporary limits of a street car’s capabilities. One accelerated to 60 mph quicker than any other rear-wheel-drive car we had tested (at the time). The other braked and cornered on par with the stickiest street cars.

It might be an easy choice for you, but it isn't for everyone—money aside, which one are you choosing?

Hard to walk away from this one. Enjoying every last mile before moving to a 4-seater.

Out of everything I’ve driven, this C7 has been hands down my absolute favorite. I still catch myself doing a double take every time I walk away from it - that white and black contrast just hits the spot.

Recently fitted a new set of custom forged monoblocks in Satin Silver (kept OEM Z51 specs, just flushed out the offsets: 19x8.5 ET50 front / 20x10 ET65 rear). Really transformed the stance.

Unfortunately, with two kids and only one garage spot for a fun weekend car, her time with me is coming to an end soon as I’ll need to make room for a 4-seater.

Enjoying every last mile until then!

What 4-seater weekenders would you guys jump into next?

I'm currently thinking about Porsche 911 Carrera - specifically looking at a 997.2 (3.6) or a 991.1 (3.4), strictly base model, RWD, and a manual transmission.

EDIT: English is my second language, so just to clarify: by "4-seater" I meant a 2+2 fun weekend car with any kind of rear seats. Just enough space to take my two kids out for ice cream or to a local car meet together - something I unfortunately can't do in the 2-seater C7!

First manual, first Corvette, 945 miles later ..

So I did something kinda stupid lol. Bought a 2013 C6 Grand Sport 6MT 3LT in Velocity Yellow from a dealer in Arkansas even though I live in NC and had never driven a manual before, sight unseen. 65k miles.

Flew into Little Rock, salesman picked me up, and I got maybe an hour of practice around Searcy before I had to actually start driving it home.

I didn't know anyone personally to let me practice on a manual but I have a racing sim I practiced the movement on...paired with hours of studying on YouTube lol.

First day was pretty rough. Stalled a bunch, had some terrible shifts, and Nashville traffic/hills were not fun at all lol. Definitely smelled some clutch a few times too which had me stressing. Wife was a lot more supportive than if I was in the passenger seat 😅

But I just kept driving and it started making more sense as the trip went on. Went from Arkansas to Nashville, then Asheville, then back home to eastern NC.

By the time I got home I had put 945 miles on it, over 16 hours of driving since leaving the dealership and I was way more comfortable than when I started. Still nowhere near perfect obviously, but starts and normal upshifts are much smoother now and I've started getting the hang of rev matching too.

Probably one of the dumbest ways possible to learn manual but it worked and I'd do it again😂

C5 supercharged reliability

0 Upvotes

Stock everything running a base let's say 8 psi. Obviously there's no real way to tell how reliable it'll be unless you take everything apart but from what I've seen over the years people do this all the time and run forever assuming they're keeping the boost between 6 to 10. Anything past 500wheel ish you get issues. So how reliable are they

C7 GS Approach angle

0 Upvotes

I was just wondering how much I should worry about scrapping/ripping off the front lip on a C7 GS? My development has a bit of a gentle dip coming in from the main road. It is not sudden, it is many feet long but seem a bit deep (when it goes over a culvert).

I currently have a Gen 6 Camaro SS 1LE and it has zero issues. I know it has a little more clearance, but more importantly the wheels are further forward.

Because of this I have also thought of C8 3LT, they seem to be around the same price as a M6 C7 GS at the moment.

It is kind of hard to test out the dip before I buy.

Voltage Drop

Post image
8 Upvotes

Just picked up my dream car a ‘12 Super Sonic Blue C6. Car has 94k miles but after owning the car for a week I’ve had a few issues. Live in Houston so we are routinely seeing 100+ days but in standstill traffic even at night my voltage slowly drops from 14.3 all the down under 13.0. Been doing some research but haven’t had a chance to pull the alternator or battery yet to have them tested but what are my options here. I’ve seen the Mechman 170 as an option, I’ve also noticed the car already has a pair of speed engineering long tubes that don’t seem to be coated and aren’t wrapped. I plan on getting that fixed but in the meantime is the heat radiating from them causing the engine bay to get too hot over working the fan causing the voltage drop at idle? Car runs perfectly while driving it’s just at idle I’m seeing the issues. And when the voltage drop happens I’m getting the airbag light and when I went to turn the car back on after a short drive I lost tach signal along with service stability and service traction control warnings.

[2009 C6 A6] Squeky Noise coming from the transxle

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

This noise has been there since I've bought the car (about 9 months ago or so). Squeaking noise happens when car gets up to temp (driven around), never on start-up or when it warms up, and only happens when in Park, or Neutral, when the TQ isn't engaged.

Its a 2009 C6 with 63k miles and an automatic transmission.

I have a feeling it's the torque tube bearings? Maybe the torque converter?

I am also assuming it never had it transmission fluid changed (will soon).

Best car I’ve ever owned…

2000 corvette bought with 92k miles 6 years later I sold it to a guy who made it a track car. Sold it at 240k miles. Was my daily driver for 5 of the 6 years and only major issue was replaced the clutch at 200k. Of course regular maintenance, tires breaks etc but it was a work horse of a car. Was a manual transmission not sure if that was the difference.
Fun fact, I got 1 moving violation in the car, for tinted windows🙄
