This is a beautiful, exceptionally maintained, one owner, world class sports car.  I received delivery of the Grand Sport at Watson Chevrolet, at Tucson, Arizona in April, 2011 (MSRP: $62,120).   I chose the Grand Sport because of several important features not available in the standard coupe.  Visually, what first catches your attention are the flaired fenders, which are required to accommodate the larger tires and wheels.  The suspension includes components and massive brakes from the Z06.  Handling is further improved by the Magnetic Ride Control ($1,695).  A turn of the control knob from Tour to Sport and the suspension immediately stiffens and improves handling and control. The dry sump oil system holds 10 quarts and assures that the engine does not starve for oil in tight turns, braking, or acceleration.  The Dual Mode Exhaust ($1,195) system opens the exhaust baffles at 3,750 rpm as the engine hits it's torque curve, and creates a sound that is pure music.  Also included is the Mild 2 Wild exhaust control system that with a push of a button on the remote control, opens the exhaust baffles and lets the owner appreciate the sound  of the engine from idle to red line.   

The LT2 package ($1,195) provided adjustable sport bucket seats with perforated leather inserts; power seat adjustments for driver and passenger, luggage shade and cargo net, and Bluetooth connection for phones.   The chrome aluminum wheels ($1,995), and the Supersonic Blue ($300) were the icing on the cake.        

The Grand Sport has always been garaged.  The high gloss finish was maintained using Meguiars' Cleaner Wax.  Only Mobile 1 silicon based oil has been used.   It was always hand washed, and has never seen the inside of a car wash. Exterior and interior are a "10."  No one has smoked in the car.  My fuel economy ranges from around 19 mpg (suburban driving) to 26 plus mpg on the highway.  

The General Motors warranty is good for another 84,000+ miles.  Service records are available on request.  The original Corvette Owner's CD and MSRP window sticker are included in the sale.  Please let me know if you have further questions.

Over the last ten years, I sold my 2003 and 2008 Corvettes on eBay, and now my 2011.  Please note that we have 100% satisfaction from our 683 eBay transactions.   I hope the future owner enjoys this Grand Sport as much as we have.   It's a great automobile.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.
