My Grand Sport paint changed colors?!?
from this:
...to this:
Also added carbon fiber side skirts and had ClearBra applied to the entire front end, mirrors, rocker panels, the side skirts, headlights, and fog lamps
2013 2LT GS coupe, 6 speed manual, dry sump LS3, Nav, etc
...but I'll still hang around C4 Gen and Tech to help and harass

Nice, enjoy the ride. Did you keep both? If so, turn the blue one into a race car. That's what I did.

....'tis true, I did sell the '96. It went to a fellow forum member and track junkie who is local to me here in the Seattle area.
The '96 is a GM Pilot Car and I was the first public owner. It served me well and I absolutely enjoyed owning it. In fact, it took me over a year to decide to sell it. It's in perfect shape. Paint still shines, no rips or tears in the interior, 500hp 383, and not a leak, drip, seep, or hint of mechanical issues anywhere....all of which meant it was the right time. Did I have to sell? Well...no. However, I go through phases of having multiple fun cars sit in the garage collecting dust followed by downsizing and then back again. Who knows, when the C7 Z06 comes out (I hear 2015?), I may need to park the 2013
A few more '96 pics...

Jim (Tail Lights First),
I absolutely love the new GS but hate to see 007 go glad to hear it went to a new home that will USE the car for what it is. I’m anxious to see what you have in store for the C6.

I like the '96 GS better, but congrats on your new one.
