In the vast landscape of the Corvette world, the seventh generation of Chevy's halo car holds a special significance. The C7 represents the last front-engine version of the 'Vette to (presumably ever) be made. Taking things a step further, the Grand Sport trim is a subsection of Corvette that strangely gets often overlooked. But, the GS does a marvelous job of splitting the difference between the base Sting Ray and the all-out Z06 racer, making it arguably the best of both worlds. To further subdivide things, this barely broken-in 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible 3LT has just 9,023 miles on the odometer and adds the highest level of features available and drop-top driving, making it an exceptionally unique car.
Painted in its believed-original Admiral Blue, the aggressive lines of the Grand Sport stand out remarkably well. With the car's matching blue top up or down, its louvered hood, front and rear spoilers, and massive chrome wheels show off the Grand Sport's nod to the Z06. Inside, the 3LT package takes luxury and technology to the highest level for the C7. Nappa leather seats, a leather-wrapped upper instrument panel, door trim, and console storage cover combine with suede microfiber-wrapped visors and trim to make this Grand Sport the most posh a Corvette could feel.
Under the traditional front-hinged hood, we find the spectacular 6.2-liter Gen 5 LT1 V-8 that, when in stock, pumps out an impressive torque of 460 hp and 465 lb-ft. This particular Grand Sport has $3,000 Stainless Works headers added to the mix for even more power and a throatier exhaust note. That power then gets funneled through an eight-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission before being sent out to 20-inch rear wheels wrapped in their original and massive steamroller-sized low-profile 335/25/ZR-20 Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber wait ready for launch, while staggered 19-inch rims shod in 285/30ZR-19 rubber handling steering duties. And launch this car does, capable in stock form of rocketing from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, according to Motor Trend.
This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible 3LT also comes with GM's excellent magnetic ride control suspension and speed-sensitive power steering for an unbeatably comfortable ride. Front/curb-view cameras are also on board to prevent scraping the Grand Sport's beautiful bodywork.
