Tips on Buying a use LS3
Hey guys and gals,
So tom, I am going to go check out a used 2010 Corvette Grand Sport that I want to purchase. its got 13000 miles on it. looks pretty damn good in pics. I know this is not a corvette forum, but since the engine is the same LS3 as the Camaro V8. Can I get some tips on what to check for tom when i go and test drive it??? thanks!

Yeah. That's why I actually so interested. I looks still brand new. Just want to hear from all the LS3 owners.

13k on it is almost like new for the LS3. I cant see there being much to have to listen for outside of normal things you would on any car test drive. I'd be more focused on brakes, trans, suspension. Not ignoring the engine completely but with miles like that its really just broken in. Unless the previous owner tracked it only.
