The shopping begins, the Grand Sport worth the extra money? I haven't read to extensively about it, looks like a Z06 without the supercharger? Mine would never see the track and 460 hp is probably enough. I know much of this will come down to what a person values most but I'm open to hear from the guys with experience being pretty new to the Vette world

I.M.H.O. and I am on my 4th corvette and have read a lot about all models of the C7; I would, without hesitation, buy the G.S. - best handling, best performing, super looking and can handle just about any other car out there costing way more money. When I bought mine I did not know that a G.S. was coming out the following year or I would have waited. I've read a lot of articles; but, in a nutshell: 460 H.P. with unbelievable handling - more car than you will ever need - no supercharger (less weight) - no overheating issues - and, less money than a Z06 . Don't get me wrong the Z06 is a nice car; but, really, do you need all that H.P.?

I just sold my 14 with supercharger and other mods. Fun but really unusable hp other than track which i don't do.

Oh, yes, yes indeed.

... do you need all that H.P.?

Need ? .... for myself it’s an honest No
Want ? .... honestly is the exact question of what selfishly keeps me going on and on and on about c7 ZR1 ...

... in the meantime at least there’s some pretty good dudes here that put up with me about it ...
