Performance

4.5/59 of 9 reviewersstrong consensus

“So the Grand Sport is properly rapid.”

positive · Edmunds Cars · ▶ 5:15

“2.75 seconds 0 to 60, under 11 seconds on a quarter mile, that's over 120 miles per hour. That's freaking fast.”

positive · Hawkeye Rides · ▶ 13:26

“535 horsepower, 520 lb feet of torque. That's 40 more horsepower than the previous small block LT2 engine.”

Handling

4.5/59 of 9 reviewersstrong consensus

“The engine and the chassis feel a match for one another. And that means that you can lean on it that much harder, with much more confidence, that sooner.”

positive · Edmunds Cars · ▶ 7:10

“The chassis stays so level, so stable.”

positive · Raitis Rides · ▶ 24:06

“It's not more comfortable than the Stingray, it just handles better.”

Fun to drive

5.0/59 of 9 reviewersstrong consensus

“What's the point of having a supercar that doesn't make you feel that kind of adrenaline rush? And this certainly does.”

positive · Edmunds Cars · ▶ 11:14

“It's magical. It's magically delicious.”

positive · Raitis Rides · ▶ 12:01

“This is by far the best experience driving a Corvette I've ever had. It is literally they've perfected the C8 in this car.”

Daily drivability

4.0/59 of 9 reviewersstrong consensus

“It's just a little bit more-- it's just that little bit easier to live with.”

positive · Edmunds Cars · ▶ 10:14

“It also feels more like an everyday driving vehicle. So, that makes it more fun whenever I'm looking to get something that's supercar performance out of an everyday blend.”

positive · Hawkeye Rides · ▶ 10:58

“Even though we've got these massive 21-in wheels, it is just so easy to drive this vehicle.”

Value

“If any car can truly be called a six-figure bargain, then this surely is it.”

positive · Edmunds Cars · ▶ 17:24

“It's effectively $20 to $30,000 less than the equivalently optioned Z06, and it is a fraction of the price of a brand new 992.2 GT3”

positive · Savagegeese · ▶ 23:15

“For the money, this might be my favorite one. For the money.”
