I have a 2010 grand sport, in torch red. This car by far is amazing, what a head turner and amazing in every way. Best looking sports car, very comfortable, every option available, looks amazing, and if I had money I would buy another one it is super reliable.

Beauty beyond compare to other vehicle!

Other than some minor problems from used automobiles my 2nd Corvette which was a basic 1997 had over 500, 000 miles on it. Wish I could afford the 2019 Corvette ZR1 I drive it. I buy to drive even during the pandemic. I am from Rock Hill, SC and I drove my last Corvette to Las Vegas, NV and Back. Immaculate driving exotic car!
