You can get the last GM transmission for the C7 , the M7, 7 speeds and, although it doesn’t inspire their greatest shift feel in the industry, a small investment into a short shift kit fixes that issue, mine has the MGW shifter that was installed by the previous owner. And it feels great. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd5b95a81cd4417ddd013c/1590516641376/IMG_20200228_134917.jpg Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today. What did the C7 end up with? A blazing fast 1:50.76 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd5182a81cd4417dda980c/1590514152611/Annotation+2020-05-26+102715.png Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today. PRICE The C7 Z51 can be had (at the time of May 2020) for high to mid $35,000.00 range, and the Grand sports around $50,000.00. That is a lot of car for the money. And what do we get for the price of $50,000.00 for the grand sport? I will use my car as an example, even though mine came with lots of track day goodies (wheels/tires/brake pads and some power mods) let’s assume you didn’t get as lucky as I did. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd6536642dba7bdd69964f/1590519110914/020813_7.jpg Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today. - CHASSIS The C7 Chassis has some very common mis-information associated to it, due to its similar design to the C5/C6 generations, there are many out there who claim that they are the same, so “ why bother” getting the C7 when the C6 is the same thing? this is entirely incorrect. it is, in fact 60% stiffer, and all new, as in, nothing was carried over from he C6 chassis. well except a trunk latch and a cabin air filter source: GM. What does this all mean for us? well it means that the car has a phenomenal road feel and very consistent as you throw the car around on a track. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd55e2a81cd4417ddbacb2/1590515215389/Annotation+2020-05-26+102715efs.png Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today. - Power These motors make plenty of power for most people, but if you wish to add power, bolt-ons/E-85 tune and exhaust can get you even more, past the 600 Crank mark ( if you believe some of the manufacturers claims for those parts) and unlike the LS of years past, the LT1 loves to rev! very linear power all the way to redline. No more does the corvette feel like it has a low revving truck engine was shoehorned in the front. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd582cd02304239e1b7cc5/1590515791237/aim.png Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today.

And anything near this would be impressive for a mildly tuned C7 grand sport on street legal tires and stock suspension ( OEM Camaro goodyears) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd57bffd31365e4f114503/1590515690607/c7+grand+sport+sport+sim.JPG Articles - Why The C7 Is The Best Track Day Hero You can buy today. - DATA ACQUISITION The C7 has a remarkable ECU, and if you opted for the PDR, it even has a built in 5hz GPS that can be logged through the Cosworth software ( that is free by the way) and for the more hardcore data coaches such as myself. You can plug in a AIM Solo DL 2 and get more information that even I would need, including: https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/making-the-c7-grand-sport-even-more-grand monthly 0.5 2020-06-26 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ef634900ba9554bdc3b5c03/1593193632094/IMG_4384.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ef634abfe25a22a79582a1d/1593193657772/IMG_4351.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ef635f75b513a6ccddf5ea3/1593194004284/IMG_3705.JPG Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/5ef63b2e6b62f234d8253d84/5ef63b2fc346a369bbae7e4a/1593195318236/E85+Tune.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/5ef63b2e6b62f234d8253d84/5ef63b2e0f6df97f18308193/1593195319548/91+tune.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ef638876b62f234d824d330/1593194661633/original_76f85e78-8692-43cf-8010-bc01486448e5_IMG_20200212_125346_MP.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? - Weight The Z06 was on my radar when i started looking into the C7 platform. a few things stopped me from purchasing. First and foremost, the weight, the z06 weighs (depending on who you choose to believe) around 3600 lbs with a full tank, hefty. When compared to my Grand sport, which I weighed in at 3439 with a full tank of gas and perfect cross weight from the factory. ( rear weight bias is also a Grand sport only thing, due to the rear wide body) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ef6354041e54e0ef7ce7056/1593193917178/Around+the+Pits-BW1_3223_1034_Mar0720_CaliPhoto.jpg Articles - Making the C7 Grand sport even more… Grand? https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/category/Long+Term+Review monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/tag/Grand+Sport monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/tag/c7 monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/tag/Corvette monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog/tag/c8+vs+c7 monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog-4 daily 0.75 2020-05-26 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog-4/blog-post-title-four-t9ymf monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog-4/blog-post-title-three-3nh9j monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog-4/blog-post-title-one-pmjzs monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.driver-mod.com/blog-4/blog-post-title-two-karzx monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides daily 0.75 2020-12-15 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/buttonwillow-13cw monthly 0.5 2020-12-15 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed1779ee080e33f637321d9/1590785961027/i5+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW Pretty self explanatory here, I-5 is a decently long straight after the exit of Off Ramp, the thing to think about is your approach into one of the more counter intuitive sections, Cotton Corners. My goal here is to brake early enough to not track out into the corner, and setting up for the exit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17aa6dc0c1978e62c2d46/1591029182459/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed178ccdc0c1978e62bc5bc/1590971031016/BS2+wm.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed177b076be205b7d9e8d4b/1590785978606/CC+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17d6352706d05126746e3/1590787435422/TS+2+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17adfd1fbb47d97048f90/1590786786547/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed1787a7f741f7a2ffe624d/1590786179440/BS1+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed1765976be205b7d9e51c2/1590785640150/Turn+1+13CW+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17b113a6bea33d5a9279c/1590786835920/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17bf5939ba41cd12cb413/1590787063967/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17c58bdbbdb299ca3a29d/1590787163888/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17eb1f426f87f63f7b509/1590787769855/BRP+13CW+JPEG.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17b9ab1bea64aa262a7c6/1590786975024/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed17bc1f426f87f63f71cfa/1590787014148/ Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed1776adc0c1978e62b7729/1590785906827/OR+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed177c871525e120c2a0188/1590969556655/grapevine+club+corner+WM.jpg Track Guides - Buttonwillow 13CW https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/category/Track+Guide monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/tag/13CW monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/tag/Buttonwillow+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/tag/s2000+13CW monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/tag/Kevin+Burke monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/track-guides/tag/Kevin+Burke+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.driver-mod.com/home daily 1.0 2020-10-29 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecd36e2ce92da4492189353/1590507313431/Orange+Group-Session+3+%28Turn+10%29-CVR_9197_Mar1619_CaliPhoto+%281%29.jpg Home - Invest in Yourself, The Driver Learn the skills to drive what you have, not what you wish you had https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ed54b400e867d0e3f1017c9/1591037288965/BRP+13CW+JPEG.jpg Home - Track Guides Turn by Turn Guides. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5ecadea029db2e1e76aaa7c6/1590355080711/received_278886173290523.jpg Home - Data Driven Content For Those That Want to Improve https://www.driver-mod.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-05-26 https://www.driver-mod.com/private-coaching daily 0.75 2020-07-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec97bab8a345874139fc6a3/t/5f11c69d731c060c42b77c40/1595000499212/Red+Cars+and+Automotive+Business+Advertising+Website+%286%29.jpg Private Coaching
