Please watch: "Everyone Needs a Jet, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and a Huracan Evo In Their Life!" • Everyone Needs a Jet, ... -~- It was really hard coming up with 5 things I hate about this great car
Haha great video bro I love it, and I know you love the car dearly, idk why everytime someone does a 5 things they hate video, they can never understand that these are nitpicky things and its hard to come up with 5 things for really nice cars such as this. It's like you made a video on 5 things you hate about their mother or something lol 😂But great job with the video on the car sir beautiful spec, our buddy cgarnerspeed252 also has a grandsport vette 2017
Exhaust Sports Auto Yes, thank you! You nailed it here. You get the best comment award. And yes, cgarnerspeed252 is supposed to come down this weekend to meet up with a guy named Mike who just started a car channel called Brink of Speed and myself. We're looking forward to meeting him. Thanks for your comment.
Haha ya we've done our fair share of 5 things we hate vids and literally every single I've seen other than vehicle virgins surprisingly has gotten the same reactions which I just don't understand. Ya that's awesome and I will be checking out Mike's channel too. And thanks so much for your sub your love and support is greatly appreciated sir, and of course you got a sub from me! Keep putting out the vids, 1k subs is coming sooner than later!
That is a bad ass GS. My friend's husband bought one last year. She says he bought it as an investment. Literally had it delivered to his house by enclosed trailer then parked it ever since. It still has 6 miles on it. I don't understand it. That car is made to be driven. I try explaining to her that between inflation, the cost of insurance, and the interest he's paying on the loan he's probably never going to make money on it. Might has well enjoy it!!!
Ohio Digger Thanks and I agree! I have some people telling me to keep it stock for when I sell it. But I bought it to have fun with. I want to do exhaust and other fun stuff. Thanks for your comment!
@@scottydoesntknow254 So true!! Lol. My 2019 Grand Sport 3LT with the Z07 Performance Pacķage, already has close to 4,000 miles on it. All of them a Blast!!!!!
I drive mine every chance I get if I get to a place in life I can't drive it I'll get rid of it so some one else can enjoy it there meant to be driven and enjoyed
Check out the NEW Video on RU-vid. Watch in RU-vid and leave your like and comments. Lots of photos of YOUR AMAZING Vettes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fCIS-2dIieI.html
Ozzstar When the mid-engine comes out I probably will. But of course, if you watched the video you know that I love the car and coming up with 5 Things was very, very tough. :)
Larry Newberry I know. Manual would be cool. I drove manuals when I was young but it seems car makers are kinda moving away from traditional manuals. The auto is supposed to be quicker. Maybe on my next Bette I will go manual
The thing I don't like about your GS is the auto transmission. Sports cars should have manual transmissions, my two cents. The vette 7 speed is a pretty nice trans.
Great sports car. The tire to fender gap, is there for a reason. Some people take them on road courses , overdrive them and hit the apexes or apron of turn , or worse, go off the track, it might need a few inches of travel so you don’t bottom out , or tear the suspension up. If you watch some track videos on certain tracks the things are so fast they become airborne so again, unless you own a race team , can afford a new suspension or backup car , your covered. In addition the suspension gives the car a good ride with the design if you’re on public roads, and still offers great handling. I would NOT change anything on it , if you lower it , you alter too many dynamics with the magnetic suspension , sensors, etc. As a freelance writer I’ve reviewed and obtained several Vettes from GM on a regular basis, they come with the best overall combination of suspension design, handling, and ride quality of any car near its price point , so if most of your driving is on public roads, or even run road courses on weekends sometimes, I would not touch it.
Front Seat Driver Good move. Remember a Ferrari has smaller tire fender gaps and less suspension travel but that doesn’t mean they necessarily win on track day, and if they go off the track or get airborne they go home on the trailer while we laugh and drive back home.
I haven't been in the newer Vett. I've walked around it. It takes time to get used to the lines of a car. I know an old man and he drives a Porsche. So one day I see him getting out of it with crutches. I said to him " paddle shifters?" He looked at me and smiled and said " hell yeah."
eric heine That's awesome! I saw a 918 in Houston. The guy also apparently owns a Carrera GT also. It was at the Porsche dealer in Houston be in repaired. Could you imagine having both of those cars?
There is a way to eliminate any noise from the removable roof panel, use Superlube, a thick synthetic grease, liberally lube to attachment latch contact points between the panel and body structure and light coating on the rubber gasket, eliminates any noise.
I am in Canada and here it is not, probably easier to find in the USA, I am sure if you check on line you will be able to order it, here is one link I found: www.pocomarine.com/shop/super-lube-21030-synthetic-multi-purpose-grease-ptfe-3oz/ . Works amazing on polyurethane bushings etc...do use it on my UCA's on my truck suspension as well as on my 2017 Grand Sport.I have only applied it once to eliminate the irritating roof rattle on my vette.
Troy Power Thanks, I'll try it out. Glad someone found a fix for this. Funny thing is, I only notice it once in a while but it's annoying when I do. Sometimes I'll be driving my truck and my clipboard will be squeaking and I can't reach it...ugh. I don't know why those little squeaks bother me so much. :)
I am using GM weatherstripping lubricant on my targa top (C6) weatherstripping. It is insanely expensive but works well and you only need a tiny bit each year. On the other hand, dielectric grease for the moving metal parts is cheap and recommended. Lubricating the top is a regular maintenance activity which I think many owners overlook.
Congrats on your C7 Grandsport!! Its awesome hearing how thankful people are of the things they have, Taking pride in what they own & taking care of there things. Some get it & most people dont understand. Anywho, Congrats on your car although you have had it for a while, sweet video, Thumbs up & subscribed!
I think it is a great video too. Not sure why all the haters just because you found 5 little things you find to not be ideal. Anyone honest can find 5 things with any car no matter how much you love the car. None of them are perfect. Good grief people. Chill out a bit and understand where he is coming from.
Chuck Davis Yeah, I was wrong. It's real. I would like to make it glossy but since it's a collector edition I don't want to change it. But I will do gloss on my next one. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day.
A lot of components on new vehicles set warnings due to bad cells in battery. Or wonky currents. Car starts fine but one of the cells or whatever is up and down.
Intelligent Design Reptiles That should be cool. I love wraps. Not sure if you've seen Street Speed 717's wrap on his vette but it really cool. Whatever you decide to do I'm sure it will be cool. Let me know when you're done, I want you to send me a pic.
These five complaints are really minor, which says a lot about the car, but the one that would frustrate me is the nose-scraping. I have it with my older Corvette as well. Rumours are that the C8 will have hydraulics similar to more expensive exotic cars allowing you to lift the nose a few inches when going into driveways. If only there was an aftermarket product for us! This is a beautiful Grand Sport, so stop whining. :-)
Leslie Reissner of course they're minor. "5 Things I Hate" is just a type of video that some car people make. No one is interested in a video called 5 minor annoyances about my Corvette. My 5 Things I LOVE video has FAR LESS views = interest.
MrGreygoose101 it's faster than stick and because I don't really care one way or the other. Oddly enough, mine doesn't squeak all the time. Just once in a while. But I guy gave me a product to try. Once I start hearing it again I'll buy it. I guess mine was made on a Friday. Lol.
dferros347 Others have. But I have 20's on the back and don't want to go larger. I'm just going to leave it the way it is most likely. But thanks for the advice.
Just put 325/30r20 and 275/35r19 tires on the stock rims and then lower it back to stock ride height to get less fender to tire gap: rear - 1inch, front - .7 inches.
Front Seat Driver Yes it is. Front tires 25.8 inches vs 26.5 inches in diameter, rear tires 26.6 inches vs 27.6 inches in diameter. Installing the tires will subtract half the distance then lowering the car back to stock ride height will subtract the other half. The only issue will be recalibrating the read out of the speed and distance traveled.
5 things I hate.. 1. It's not a ZR-1 2. Its not a Mako Shark 3. It's not '61 Pro Touring 4. It's not an L-88 5. It didn't pick the winning numbers to the most recent Powerball. A bonus.. 6. It's not voiced by Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World. GM could make it happen... Honestly though, such a great car. Enjoy it!
Lower that car = Undriveable. Wheel Gap Schmeel Gap and you could get glossy carbon dash as an option, at least I could on a 2019. That top should not rattle take it to the dealer under warranty.
Pseudo Smith It can be lowered. Many people have done it. I couldn't do the glossy carbon because this is a specific collector edition. They're all basically the same. And I actually misspoke. I meant to say the roof squeaks, not rattles. I was given the name of a lubricant that will prevent it. Anyway, thanks for watching.
Kevin Eleven I don't either. As soon as I saw the Grand Sport I knew it's what I wanted. When I saw this car on the showroom floor I was blown away. Never imagined buying it. It was out of my realm of thinking. It was surreal going in and buying it a couple months later.
Not sure if you still have your Vette but there is a TSB at GM to fix the roof clutches. They will rattle when it get hot. I had mine replace and the rattle is gone.
May i ask why did you buy the car all of the things you dislike are obvious prior to you buying the car ? I love the care though especially the blue very nice .
It is just a video series many RU-vidrs do. 5 Things I love and a 5 things I Hate about my car. Go watch my 5 things I love. You'll like it better since obviously the 5 things I hate are very minor. And thanks for the compliment on the interior. I love it too! Main reason I bought the car. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for sharing your take on what you do not like. Question: when you were looking to purchase the car I take it you sat in it, test drove it... was there something with the interior you liked at the time and stopped liking, or you did not like interior / layout from the get-go?
No. I LOVED the interior. The blue is the main reason I bought this one. I wasn't a huge fan of the Watkins Glen Gray but I do like it. It goes well with the blue.
I was debating between this car and my car when I went to purchase. Always been a Mustang guys so had to go for mine. If you don't mind me asking, did that run you mid-60s close to 70?
RS3 4 Me I got it for $78.5 I think. It was $83,239 on the sticker. We buy probably $100k in trucks a year from the dealer so he gave me a pretty good price at the time. I actually have a video, if you're interested, that goes into it.
Because I still like the exterior. While I prefer the look of the C7 I prefer the interior on the C8. I own both so I speak from personal experience and of course just my personal preference.
Freddie B Lol. That is actually one I should have used. It's not easy. As far as the rattles, I misspoke. I meant to say it squeaks. No idea why I said it rattles. I found a solution to the squeak though.
There are things in life that you like and some things you don't like - That's just how life goes :-). Everyone has a different taste and some people might actually like the "5 things" you don't like. I had a 2016 Z06, sold it just few months back waiting for the mid-engine
Alex Al I actually love the car. I have a video about that too. But I'm with you, I can't wait to see the mid engine. I may have to swap cars when that one comes out.
I feel u on the wheel gap issue. My coworker has a black Grand Sport that I also noticed. The car does sit low already so lowering it more will cause clearance problems. They shoulda made the fenders sit lower to eliminate that problem.
mustang6035 Amen. I bought a camaro too recently and my dealer said they avoided that on the new Camaro since it was an issue on the Vette. I guess we will see if it's still there on the ZR1.
Eddy Joe Funny you mentioned that. Yesterday I went to check out a few other videos like mine and most were the same way. I was a little concerned at first. Thanks for your comment.
Front Seat Driver don’t mind the dislikes it’s people who are jealous of what you have and angry that you would even be “pretentious” enough to complain about something they will never be able to acquire. RU-vid is starting to get a little cluttered with car you tubers though, good luck building your channel and congrats I love the grand sport. I almost got that over my Hellcat.
Why complain about the car you went out and spent $50-$60,000 or more and then you gonna to complain about it That don’t make no sense dude is a Corvette Go buy you a jeep that you can lower it or truck you can do whatever you want to do they make a video about that and complain about it stop it
😂😂😂😂 You don't get it. No matter how much you love something you can always find some imperfections. People want to know what those imperfections are. Perhaps for someone it could be a make or break reason. There's a reason why the video has 110,000 views.
Five things I hate about the Grand Sport: 1) Too affordable 2) Too fast 3) Too good on gas (or a massive V8) 4) Too cool 5) Too bad-ass In short, what a piece of junk!
Funny you say that but the video is pretty old and it still gets quite a few views as compared to my other videos so regardless of how you feel about them, others may not feel the same. But thanks for commenting.
I hear ya on the rattling... rattling drives me insane. For the wheel gaps... yeah, any lower could be challenge. Would the car support a taller tire without rubbing?
RJ M Probably would fit a taller tire. I'm going to Spring Mountain racing school next month, they teach on Corvettes so I am going to talk to them about it. Thanks for the comment!
Correction: that is NOT a carbon fiber "wrap" on your dash. That is one big piece of actual carbon fiber. I personally like the matte finish, but that's just me. Anyway I just wanted you to know that's genuine carbon fiber, and not painted or a wrap (as in the C6). Cheers, and don't forget "the wave" to other Corvette drivers! :)
vara fouroneone Yeah, I was wrong. Many have made sure I knew. Lol. What's funny is I wave at the other drivers but half the time they don't wave back. I guess everyone is too focused on their lives. Oh well. Have a great day!
my, we are nitpicking the hell out of this car aren't we....scrapes? gaps? that's your complaints? buy a Wrangler then, this is a sports car of course it's going to be low and prone to scraping from time to time, you're whining at this point
@@FrontSeatDriver i gotta navigate the driveway once the newbie gets here hahaha...i go in a lot more slanted than i leave the drive, but always that "nice" scrape :-O
I agree with the interior part it's so tacky, never been a fan myself . also the paddles, the rattling depends on the road u are driving and how slow you are going , the front lower lip is weird that it scrapes mine is 2018 with a full carbon z06 lip and I didn't scrape anything also the gap at the rear wheel seems odd i cant see that much in mine , great video bro ,nice i wanted that color but my dealer didnt have it so i settled for the Yellow in Black. Peace.
Everything you mentioned is so very petty. My grand sport's targa top never rattles, not sure why yours does maybe you didn't put it back on correctly after removing it.
Yes. I alluded to that in the video. I can’t remember what the issue was but I think I was wrong anyway. I think I found out it was something different altogether. It’s been a few years so I do not completely recall.
1:10. High speed bump compliance. Please drive a Poooorsch Neun Elfer over curbing at CMP at speed then go do the same in a miata, repeat in mustang, repeat in civic, repeat in this car. It needs more bump complaince in the form of smaller, 17 inch tires, with more sidewall to deliver heat dissipation and extra suspension travel. This aesthetic (ams) demands result in weak wheels and poor ride quality all in the name of superficial looks.
Divad Noodeldehm I actually think it drives pretty well. I don't mind the ride. It would actually work as a daily driver but I need a truck to drive to jobsites. Vette won't work.
Man just be happy with your gourgeos car . You already say it about lowering suspension and you say about how already to the ground. About the battery it’s sometimes normal that’s why you get warranty. You have no faults. I work as Technician and I see new cars with real faults. Just be happy bro 🤘
Jay-Rock I like the outside but yeah, the inside...It's always been a weakness in my opinion. They have gotten better though over previous generations. I actually prefer the interior of my Camaro over the Vette.
Front Seat Driver I agree with you on that & when you get a chance Google Corvette C7 concept by David Williams that corvette design is 7 years old but it's so beautiful but it never went into production smh smh smh.
No. Not on my car. My friends Z06 did though. Feb 23 I'll have mine at the track. I guess we'll see how it does. But I wentvto Ron Fellows racing school and drove a Grand Sport and it did great!
@@FrontSeatDriver yeah I cant decide between the two. Iv heard the z06 can overheat , do you drive yours alot and or have done a road trip? And what happend to your friends z06?
@@tlittle416 The over heating usually only happens on the automatics from what I have heard. My friend's overheated on the track. Never in daily use though. The longest I have driven my car is about 6 hours but for at least 1 or so hours we were driving very hard on back roads. We had Z06's there too. None over heated. I think you're fine with whichever you choose as long as you're not tracking it. If you do you may either want to go manual or go with a GS.
Stavros Gavrilis Yeah, I looked back at my paperwork. I was wrong. A while back I was looking at Porsche's and they had a used Ferrari and the Carbon fiber in one spot was peeling off and it looked similar to mine so that was why I thought it was just a wrap.
These "5 things" are going to become 8 things and then 12 things much much sooner than you think. Off it now to a mid life crisis 50 something while you can get some of your money back.
Lol. No, it's still only 5. The things I love about it are much higher though. But I am strongly considering an Orange McLaren 650s Spyder with all alcantara interior. If I had more subs/Views I probably would. Not for money reasons but just because I would be sharing it with more people.
For what it is worth, I was getting service rear axle messages on my CTS V sport...also has the same electronic diff as the Vette...turned out to be a bad pin in a connector. Works perfectly since fixed.
Marshall Aurnou Awesome. Thank you Marshall for that info. I'm going to write it down so next time it happens I can let them know. It's happened a few times now. Last time it went back to normal so I didn't even take it in.
Thats how american sport cars can compete with germans over the price. Or u go pay 100% extra and and get porsche turbo with the german built quality. The corvette is fine car for 5 yrs time. Germans can easily stay rival for 10yrs with no complains.
tremec6 I can understand that. I want to do a Corsa or something to mine. Probably will be a while. I just signed up for Spring Mountain. Even with the GM discount I will be spending quite a bit because I added my wife. She's not discounted. Plus airfare. Are you looking to do a different exhaust?
Front Seat Driver i want to but I don't want to take away from the integrity of the car. I've Factory order it and also I have the build sheet from the Corvette museum
tremec6 I understand. I'm kinda in the same boat. I want to do mods but people keep telling me not to because it's a c.e. But I bought it to have fun with.
davie crocket Pretty sure GM will fix it for the C8. They didn't do it on Camaro. I was told they were aware it was unpopular and so they made sure the wheel gap was smaller.
I've got one too, not the heritage edition though. Hate is too strong, minor dislikes perhaps? These issues are very minor, yes. The low profile, so it takes careful attention for any slopes, the rear spacing is okay for me. Take care, J
JG Cano You are 100% correct. These are very minor issues. A few channels I like do videos of 5 Things I love/ 5 Things I Hate on their cars. I thought it'd be fun to do. The 5 Things I LOVE has way less views unfortunately.
Dude... your car looks totally sweet. Get over the 4 finger thing. And that message about the rear axle was probably just a software glitch. I have a C7 stingray, and I've seen a couple of similar strange messages. I bought a new C5 in 1999, which had much worse software issues in it. Still loved the car, but one night it did mess up pretty good. I was at a strip club, and when I came out and put the key in the ignition... the seat would not move back to the normal position. It was 2:00am in the morning. I couldn't move it at all, and couldn't really push the clutch pedal to the floor either. Couldn't reach with the seat all the way back. The steering column was all the way in also. I messed with it for awhile... but ended up having to pop the hood, and disconnect the positive side of the battery for 30 seconds to reboot the computer. After that , it worked again.
Front seat driver sorry but no I did not watch the whole video because yes I got 'triggered 'as you say because of all the bashing you were doing for that I apologize I hope you enjoy your new corvette and in the future you can google questions about your corvette and it will take you to sites where other corvette guys ask and answer questions have a nice day
Haha... my Z51 scrapped too. I treated those little rubber things as disposable. They're fairly easy to replace. Love your collectors edition, brotha. Keep the videos coming. :)
You can get rid of the low profile tires and that will take care of the wheel gap As for the paddle shifters should have gotten a manual to really experience driving a vette I would do a hint of blue on the front as you stated It’s only vinyl and easily replaced.
+Mark Wagner yes. I will add the blue. I want to put it on the sides and changing the front splitter and will put it on there too. I'm getting used to the wheel gap. I don't love it but it's okay. I would do a manual but I'm just lazy I guess. I know how to drive a manual since ny first car was but I've never had another since.
Logan Mainly because I didn't want a base model to build on and the most important part is because this is the only one with the Tension Blue interior. That was the main reason I bought this particular car. I looked at a few others but I just felt like I'd regret not getting this one.
OrganicChemistry2 I love the 4c! Before I got the Vette I looked at Alfa Romeo and also Porsche. I picked the Vette over Alfa partially because of the sound of the exhaust. And I believe the Vette is a little faster. But I am sure you will be happy either way. If you get the Alfa, let me know how you like it.
Front Seat Driver If for whatever reason I chose a vette and didnt care too much for the sound or power, which would you recommend? The Stingray or the Grand Sport?
OrganicChemistry2 I recommend the GS. I think it's the best of the Stingray and Z06 combined. It has the engine of the Stingray with the body of the Z06. And I think the suspension in the GS and Z06 are the same. It's been said it's the perfect track car of the 3. The Z06 tends to have too much power and can get away from you but the GS is just right. I know a guy from Instagram that tracks a ZR1 and just bought a GS to drive. He chose that over the Z06. You can also get some REALLY good deals right now on the GS. There's a brand new 2017 in Burleson, TX at Lynn Smith Chevrolet for $20 k off of sticker.
Yeah, I'm an Alcantara guy. I just bought a Lamborghini and was disappointed I couldn't find one with all Alcantara. But it's a Lambo so I'm not complaining. 😁
Im assuming this is your first corvette right bro. Corvettes have had targas or t tops since 68. A lot of people prefer that the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel, you're always going to have to use both hand on the wheel and when turning on the track helps a lot, trust me. Any ways that is one awesome car dude, enjoy in good health.
Yes. You are correct. My first Vette. I knew they had targa tops but I thought the C6 didn't. I just found out the other day it was only the C6 Z06 that didn't.
Nice car bro but honestly I’ll stick with my European cars . If I have to pay more money for imported parts I’m cool with that . U got great videos though man . U honestly deserve way more subscribers!!!!!!
tonelow5 Thank you! I'd love to hit 1,000 subs. 😂 I'm with you on the European car thing. I'm leaning that way. I'm waiting to see what Corvette produces next year with the mid-engine. If I don't like it I'll likely be moving towards Lamborghini or McLaren. Thanks for your comment.
Front Seat Driver My pleasure bro . Your videos and content are incredible . But your personality is awesome . If u ever have RU-vid haters man ignore them . U deserve the best . Btw I noticed the bmx bikes flipped over , do you ride bikes also ! And great choice on a mcclaren . I hope you get what you want bro . I’m trying to get a used Jaguar lmaoo . I like the old XF sedans . I’m a Jaguar guy . But the gtr is beautiful too . The interior on your Vette is absolutely incredible
tonelow5 That's cool. I hope you find a great deal on what you're looking for. I did ride a lot more. Not too often now. I have like 8 bikes. Some are in another room. Lol. I have a video coming up soon of my wife and I at a performance driving school with Corvettes. Hopefully in a week or so. I'm working on a video right now of our time in Vegas right before we went to the school. I have a McLaren we took out that is my latest video. You might really like that one. Thanks again for your positive feedback. I truly appreciate it.
Front Seat Driver My pleasure as always man . And can’t wait to see your upcoming videos . Keep up the great work . I subscribed you so I’ll be tuned in every week now 😀
I helped build a 56 Vett. It took best of show out of 998 cars. " nothing will change your perception of a line more than time." Iron American Dream on RU-vid. Share it. Take a ride across the Promised Land. Ride the Arch.
eric heine That may be true and I love early Vette's, early Porsche's etc. But I also loved the Countach and the Vector. Cars with hard lines. That still appeals to me.
Hi, can you tell me what kind of blue this is, I know the name is called “ TENSION BLUE” but is it more like a royal blue, teal blue, baby blue?? thanks!
