Default Just picked up 12 Grand Sport vert, have a question.....

Hey guys, I just picked up a used '12 Inferno Orange Grandsport vert manual trans w/2,200 miles...... STOLE IT from carmax $49.9K (vert, 3LT, NPP, chrome wheels).... I was in for a rude awaking when I realized the VERT does not get a drysump LS3, but my question is, Is the motor still hand built?

Thanks

Nope.

But I wouldn't worry about it. Your engine should last well over 100k miles and perform well along the way.

Drive it and enjoy it.

No, just the manual coupes are hand built.

Yeah u did steal it. Saw a '11 4LT Inferno GS @ PCB car event a couple of weeks ago. Guy wanted 53 for it w/3.6K miles. Said it stickered at 70.

Super catchy color in person

What a great deal. I am sure you will love it.

If I read the stats right, there were 89 Inferno Orange GS verts made in 2012 along with 220 GS coupes. So... let's see a pic of your 1 of 89!

Here is my 1 of 220 IOM 2012 GS coupe:
