Chevrolet Corvette C7 Grand Sport Race Spec Performance Review:
Yes the title is true. The LV399 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport seems to be the only LV399 that has a manual transmission. Meanwhile, cars like Volkswagen Beetle and an old Mustang/pickup has a Formula 1 sequential gearbox which can shift gears in microseconds without losing any power between shifts. Being another unfortunate victim of Ghost Game's balancing, the consequence of having a "manual gearbox" is that there are power loses between gear shifts. Which is a shame, it severely affects the acceleration. It's overall acceleration of NOS and Engine accel is good but it could have been better.

The handling. The Corvette GS has probably one of the fastest cornering speed in the game. It seems to have the lowest speed loss when the angle gets large, especially in hairpin turns, it's one of the fastest which results in a very fast time for Mountain Run. The drifting overall is very light too. Unfortunately, the drift recovery speed is not good on this car. You can regain decent speed for low speed/medium speed turns but high speed turns you can easily lose all of your speed momentum if you are not careful. The very lightness drifting nature of the car doesn't help that aspect either. This car is really bad at Silver Lodge Casino.

How does it compare with 911 RSR and Regera:
Just 1.2 seconds slower than the 911 RSR in Mountain Run. It has one of the best cornering speeds but unfortunately has acceleration hiccups from gear shifting. It's good on mountain tracks but weak on high speed tracks.
