If you were to go to the dealership today to buy a Chevrolet Corvette, the choice between base car and Z06 is hardly a choice. The Z06 is a full 50 percent more expensive, which makes the decision for some, and isn’t available as a convertible or with an automatic. If you want the wind in your hair or have a serious aversion to clutch pedals, you have no choice.
To bridge the gap between the already capable base car and the wild-eyed maniac Z06, Chevrolet has announced the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, available either as a coupe—with a removable targa top unattainable on the Z06—or convertible and with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Like the Z51 performance-suspension package it displaces, the Grand Sport will upgrade the base Corvette chassis with more-aggressive shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars. Chevrolet claims the Grand Sport will be capable of generating 1.0 g of cornering grip, up from the 0.95 we recorded in our last test of a base Vette.
