It's HOW good? 2019 Corvette Grand Sport - FULL REVIEW 

As a 2017 Camaro 2SS owner, I noticed a lot of the same positives that you pointed out are also found on the 6th gen Camaro. The interior (while not as nice as the Vette) is miles better than the 5th gen, and the Camaro has essentially the same powertrain and technology as the C7. A lot of people are understandably excited about the C8, but imo the C7 and gen 6 Camaros are very underrated vehicles. Both are great looking, comfortable (for sports cars), fairly practical (again for sports cars), performance-focused, and sound amazing

I picked up a 2016 3LT Stingray for 34. Its got 19,000 miles on it. Best purchase ever.

I have a C8 now, but previously owned a 2017 C7 Grand Sport. Terrific Car!

I have a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, convertible, A8. I have a wind screen shade, a car cover and a Range device to prohibit cylinder shut down. Today, 12/15/23, I just installed an AFE cold air intake. I love this car, and even though I respect the performance of the new C8s, I still like the looks of the C7 better. Thanks for the video!

been watching for a long time. watched your videos on how to learn manual before buying my 2018 C7 Grand Sport manual. It is my dream car, and it delivers in every way. Great video

Great review! The C7 Grand Sport has been my “it” car since they came out. Pre-pandemic, the used prices were trending in a good direction. But that tide has certainly receded. I’ll keep working towards it. One day…

Ive always liked the C7 grandsport plan on picking one up in the future I like the NA eninge vs the zo6

Have really enjoyed my Watkins Glen Gray C7 Grand Sport Z07/7speed manual coupe since I bought it new in 2017. Not even a little bit interested in the C8 - although kudos to the Chevy engineers in developing the tech for the mid engine car. Always fun to watch videos of C7R's thundering down European racetracks - never get tired of that pushrod V8 song! To have one lurking in the garage is just flat out fun. Installing some Akrapovic axle backs soon to make it even more NA/Grand Sporty. Great review - especially for those of us not obsessed with the latest "bright shiny object".

Excellent. Best video of its type that I have seen, especially the production value of steady narration when inside the car displaying the windshield screen or discussing the cover. That took some work and planning. Lots of information about the car, just a bit about you. Good balance. Thanks for such a professional review.

Thanks for the great review on my car!!

Your the best car reviewer like I already said.

The "Handy dandy" place for the key is my pocket. Thank you!

Great review. I own a 2018 CTS V and have been considering buying one of these last front engine corvettes and this helped out a lot and ill also need that targa top. Grand Sport it will be.The tid bit at the end to keep it 8 cylinders all the time sold me

Lot of good information thank you I'll be looking for a used Corvette at the end of the summer

The C7 Corvette is my favorite gen of the Corvette and love seeing them and hearing the incredible engine I saw one Yesterday as I was walking to the bus stop and it was in Red and love how it looked the C7 and the GT86/GR86 are my two favorite Sports cars would love to see you do a review on the 86

As someone who’s has many Vette’s the C7 is by far my favorite!

The C7 has always been one of my least favorite corvette generations but now you’ve convinced me to give it a shot. A couple thoughts 1) completely agree with your thoughts on DoD. My GP GXP had DoD and I had to have it turned off as soon as possible, car drove so much better without it and I didn’t notice any change in fuel economy. 2) I feel like the C7 is the first time the automatic corvette wasn’t a compromise (in terms of performance) compared to the manual. Previous autos were for people who wanted a corvette but couldn’t drive manuals and old guys with bad knees. I’m surprised you actually like/recommend it.

I’ve got a C7 Grand Sport myself and love it. No thoughts at all to switching to the C8.

This car was awesome! What did you like about it? Get your beautifully fitting SealSkin Cover here! sealskincovers.com/pages/car-covers

Also with the transaxle/torque tube setup, the front/rear balance is very good even for a front engine.

Grand sport is one of my favorite cars. My dream used sports car would be a manual one.

Great video, Nice color.

I have a 2019 Corvette Grandsport and i love it ,

Hell yeah! I love Corvettes vipers and 911s , Cant go wrong with any.

That's a good looking vette! Can't wait to see the shenanigans that come from it!

We picked up our '19 GS Vert with 5 miles on the odo as we wanted the last year of front engine car. The difference between the GS, and our '16 Stingray is amazing. The dang car is faster than I can think these days. 😀 BTW, I pulled a Range Technology V4 disabler into the OBD before I left the dealers lot. The engine in these cars are not happy running on 4 cylinders, and no one can tell me that disabling 4 cylinders if good for the engine.

Great review of a rather nice C7 GS, just wish it were a stick. Honestly either considering getting a C6 Z06 or one of these C7 GS Vettes to have fun with.

I enjoy the car review, something new

LOVE the color on that model. Had considered a GS before I bought my '17 F-Type as the '18 GS was a MUCH nicer interior than prior Corvettes.

I went out an purchased my 19 GS M7 just as soon as I learned the C8 was unavailable with a manual trans. Love it. Just absolutely love my GS, it's a keeper. The C8, not so much.

He knows his stuff.

And this version of Displacement on Demand is way better than when Cadillac tried it in the 80s.

I had a 2017 Grand Sport in admiral blue. I should have kept it.

Great video! At 11:52 you went to shift :)

I just put Continental extreme sport 02 tires on my grand sport the car rides so much better no more wheel hop.

This generation is my 2nd favorite in terms of looks, just behind the c5

Great video! I am going to pick up my first Corvette next week, a 2019 GS w 3500 miles. I ordered the sealskin and Range device. Do you have a PPF on yours? Thanks!

‘cylinder on demand’ as long as it brings reliability issues, costs resources to implement and brings marginal fuel economy it is likely it is not more environmentally friendly, but it was probably a trick to pass emissions that can’t be proven it actually produces more emissions on long term. Lately many companies have implemented similar strategies that don’t seem to work so well on long term.

Hi.. great review.. I have a 2919 GS with a 7 Speed. When you were doing the Touring vs Track mode shifting.. what was the approximate RPM difference.. you can definitely hear it.. Thanks, Mike

Comp seats too!

Front mid engined. Engine sits between the front and rear axles, making it a mid engined car, specifically front mi-engine. Front engine car the motor sits on the front axle. C8 is rear mid-engine.

My 2017 C7 manual doesn't force 4 cylinder mode on you. You can select it if you wish. I'm well over 30 mpg at 70 mph cruising, so why bother with it. I do have a device plugged in that defeats the forced shift from 1 st to 4 th and it works well.

My C5 was actually pretty solid for a 19+ year old car. The cup holders were a joke, but Travel Buddies are awesome.

What in the Connecticut, tennis playing, sailing ⛵️, Izod, preppy 80s is up with the popped collar ?😂 I kinda like the style, being a 80s kid. Just need a London Fog jacket 🧥👍🏼 love the Vette .

11:51 i saw him reach down to shift haha

Ol Casey been CRANKING the videos out. That's a good thing folks

Ah yes, cruising the corn and bean fields of Wood and Lucas counties. One of my favorite things to do

The early C3 vette will always be my favorite. The C7 will be second. I'm not an GM fan,,imo,,the two best looking vettes

The Autos do not shift very quickly. If youve ever driven a DCT car you know how slow shifting these really are. Everything else is spot on.

1st mid engine corvette was the C6 corvette.

The Manual will only go into V4 mode in ECO mode, that I never use.

Can displacement on demand be turned off in a tune?

Essentially my dreamcar but in the z06 model bc the zr1’s are way overpriced and will sadly never get driven bc of the $200,000+ price tag today

'18 Z51 owner. It's a phenomenal car, though the only major complaint about it, is that is has the worst cupholders in automotive history.

Awesome

what color is this? Looks incredible especially with those wheels

Nice car Had a 2019 Grand Sport and after 3,300 miles and three cracked wheels I dumped it. Know issue with the Grand Sports and Zo6's and lawsuits filed. Yet no mention of this issue from you...

I had 914 Porsche with targa top. Easy off fit in trunk. Love that, car not so much.

IMO the C6 was just the right amount of refinement and raw experience for this platform. The C7 got too heavy and flashy for me. An afternoon of rattle proofing and my c6 is dead silent. The interior is plenty good, worlds ahead of the previous c5

If your going for Z06 and want to track it, be aware that this is not possible without throwing 20 to 30k at it to make it last more than on lap. But if you do so, it´s great fun and seriously fast (7:40 BtG on Nordschleife eating Porsches and BMW) Btw, mine is same color but convertible.

100% use nothing but the HUD in my C5 corvette when driving and rarely do i look at the actual gages

Are review of a classic awesome Corvette

You had an issue with one of the Corvette steering wheels. Was it the 2020? Was this one better?

If I had that car, it would be my wife !! 😂

Looks like the leather is pulling away at the dash??

Casey, isn't it a mid (front engine) car? Can you share with us what makes it a mid-engine vs rear vs front? Always seem so confusing!

That's a nice Machine. Roll by the police station and rip some burnouts in the parking lot. I hear they love that. Love it Case keep up the good work Old Sport.

Man what color is that!?

Hey casey. Did you know you can make a corvette sound like a ferrari with 180 headers?

second i can pick one up for 50 grand sold

I think the 2014 to 2019 were the best looking vettes.and unfortunately chevy ruined a great American sports car after 2019.and btw this is a great video

They’re not AC seats they’re ventilated seats brah

Man I can hear a wheel bearing screaming to be replaced in the drive along lol

I really like Casey, I dont mind the hat to cover baldness much, but when he said the car is automatic I was really worried. Then he said we can do without analog dials. I almost unsubscribed hahahh :) Just kidding ( kind of ) but Casey is our dude. If he wants automatic..... well. Yeah. Ok, this one time.

Gran sport.. for people who want a z06 or zr1 but can't drive a stick.

I'm not sure what factory ringer you've got.. But, "rock solid build quality" is non-sense. My son's 15' ZO6 even after the TSB for the roof squeak. Still squeaks something terrible. His center console armrest leather has separated and looks like a wrinkled forehead. My 19' GS's driver door panel was replaced because the armrest leather separated looked like wrinkled bicep fat. Also, my passenger side rear quarter window trim separated from the outer panel. My brake switch's chrome delaminated and was replaced. Note, Both of our vehicles have very low miles, are 7 spd manuals, garage kept, 3 bucket hand washed and well maintained. Last, the issue with GS and ZO6 wheels cracking and warping, GM denied it was an issue. I hate these videos! Not addressing GM's build quality issues is why they continue.

My least favorite Corvette sqaure tail lights too angular.

In terms of body style, the C7 looks so much cleaner than the C8 which looks like it was a high school project for design that should have been aborted!!!

The C7 would be better if the C6 didnt exist. Manual ls3 base model is gonna boogey on a c7 gs

It's trash .. I have mine at the dealership for 3 months all ready.. and they just told me I need a new cam and lifters .. and I don't drive crazy

Damn lmao

Imma say it, the new Corvette should have been called the Stingray and NOT the Corvette. The C7 was the last true Corvette, and the thing that exists now is just a poor mans Ford GT ripoff.

Too many factory dependent / ultimately unsustainable electronics, gadgets and crap. I appreciate the car is mechanically impressive, but could do without the embedded “features”, that I feel detract from the experience of driving.

the C7 is way nicer than the C8, just is, Chevy went to far, to fast and too radical the C8 looks like some basterdized version of an AudiR8 or something... it's supposed to be AMERICAS' SPORTS CAR not a euro rash sports car

This is a useless overpriced car. It makes 0 sense… especially used. Z06’s were only like 10k more and used they are the same price or within the same range.. why in the world would you buy a standard engine fake z06 body car vs buying an actual z06 lol.. again it makes 0 sense
