zeitgeist57 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 M father in law is looking at a 2011 Grand Sport convertible to replace his 2002 Z06. Very low mileage but he wants to make sure he's not buying a problem year. It's got the magnetic suspension, fully loaded...very nice ride. Anything to look out for?

Dr. Apex Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I thought you wrote the owners manual and did the window sticker for GM on those cars? What more do you need to know??:gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Make sure everything is bone dry underneath, seen multiple leaking rear diffs, and steering racks. If he keeps for a while there isn't many with magnetic ride control issues, but its expensive should it need something. Other then stupid quality issues that most Vette owners point out, there isn't much bad about those. They are pretty easy to tell if they've been abused, low mileage especially.

POS VETT Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 It has the wrong engine. Find a 427 'vert instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 It has the wrong engine. Find a 427 'vert instead. There was on at Dave Gill when I was there gettin my dip stick stroked.

zeitgeist57 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 It has the wrong engine. Find a 427 'vert instead. For what my FIL currently does with his Z06, the 436hp Grand Sport will be more than adequate. He's got 70k miles of DD duty less than 4 miles each way between UA and Riverside Hospital. 400hp in the Z06 and I think I may have been the only one to have taken it above 130mph ONCE.

POS VETT Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Right, so find something even more grandeur. There is no such thing as excess. Is he selling the '2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Right, so find something even more grandeur. There is no such thing as excess. Is he selling the '2 ? He would trade it in to Bobby Layman, or Papaw Bill will buy it from him. Maybe I'll get the '85 Corvette Papaw's got in return It's a Corvette extended family.
