GT350R vs Stingray Grand Sport

[kz]

This is what Corvettes are good at :

Did you even watch it ? Noticed all the Mustangs ?

^Exactly... repeatedly at cruise ins and especially at C&C events nationwide there are quite a number of knuckleheads with Mustangs losing it... and almost killing others! Mustangs get a bad rap because of nitwits doing this crap on public roads with plenty of bystanders around. Showoffs. :tsk:

i.e. Even some Shelby owners.... :eyebulge:

I agree the Mustangs are seen mowing down people the most! They can get squirly real quick... The older Vettes are kinda the same way but let me tell ya you really have to try to get the GS to get out of shape. Even with the nannies off those big meats still want to grab and send you straight. The Z07 I''m sure is a different animal with the SC but I haven't owned one of those yet...

Not stupid or unsafe cars just stupid and unsafe drivers. What a bunch of morons

It's also one of the ugliest 500's I've ever seen...god is it hideous.

My 760 hp 2014 GT500 was dangerously fast but one just needs to know how and when to put the power down. This shit happens when dummies are driving cars they shouldnt be. I'm looking forward to trying this supposed 808 HP S550 cobra.

Good thing he didnt have a passenger onboard

For the GT350/R... on the stock 19x11.5 rear wheels, is the widest w/o over-stretching the tire sidewalls would be 325's? or 335's?

I see 305 fronts and 325 rears possible on the GT350.

Umm...yikes. That didn't happen on the C6 Z06 did it?

I got the oil to that level on my C6 Z06 and went with Breathless race coolers and Dewits Radiator. After that i used to lap for 30min sessions at a fast pace with no cooling issues.

It has alot to do with the track configuration, slow corners (2nd and 3rd gears) track and short straights will tax your cooling system while long straight (170mph) and fast sweeper tracks will tax your braking system.

My 2013 was stock, but very finicky to drive on cold tires , especially on stock F1 Goodyears.

I was just trying to poke fun of Corvette lovers

I like Corvettes, just kidding. Oh , wait, I dont....

Just wondering does anyone on here own a new grandsport along with a gt350? I'm thinking of adding one along side my 350 and curious how they compare. Found one I like for an msrp of 76k and they are asking 65k.

This guy does :cheers: At that price I'd jump on it as long as it's optioned out pretty good. Mines a 3LT every option aside from Z07 and MSRP was a tad over $84k Unfortunately it was one of the first delivered on a customer level so I didn't get $0.01 off of that price :headbonk: Definitely a beautiful car for sure but a completely different one than the GT350. I myself enjoy driving the GT350 over the GS any day :ford:

ARS1, thanks for the feedback. I went and test drove a base stingray corvette locally a few days before Christmas, however they didn't have any GS in stock for me to drive. I'm assuming the street driving experience would be similar between the two. The base stingray vs my 350, i prefer my 350 for "fun factor" for sure.

I would love to have a grandsport though along side my 350. The only thing holding me back, Ive thought about waiting to see if the cooling revisions on the 17 z06 help at all. If they do i may pick one up instead.
