Default Upgraded to today to C6 Grand Sport

Thanks C5 Forum for all the great post on the C5. I traded my 2002 C5 in for a new C6 Grand Sport today. I got a great deal since the Dealer wanted all C6s off the lot. The C5 Forum has help me my C5 Vette up to specs. I look forward to seeing the next lucky owner drive that car.

Congrats! Reminds me of when I bought my 2004 C5 vert new right after the C6 model started showing up on dealer lots and they were heavily motivated to move the remaining C5s!

Saw a 2012 C6 Grand Sport w/15,400 on odo for $46,000 today....just not my cup of tea. But there are prices falling because winter is here.

Congrats to the OP on his new ride!

That is nice looking. What is the difference bt the sport and a regular C6? The sport looks better to me.

Grand sport is basically a base C6 with Z06-like panels, brakes and some other goodies.

Congrats.

Fixed that for you. To me the GS wheels are the best looking C6 wheels and they should have come on the c6 Z06 instead of the Horrible oem wheels they came with. Even the C5z wheels look better then the C6z's which is sad.
