Default LS3 dry sump engines to be built at Wixom PBC!

FYI - If you purchase a 2010 Grand Sport with the dry sump LS3engine you will get a hand built engine from the folks at Wixom Performance Build Center! We also build the LS9 and LS7's for your high performance Corvettes. Each engine is built from start to finish by one builder, whose name tag goes on your engine (front RH side of Intake Manifold).

Those of us that assemble these engines hope that this will be an added incentive for you to purchase a Grand Sport Corvette! We're proud of our work and hope you will be too.

I like the car but the gills could very well be a deal breaker. I an not too crazy about the wheels but they could be swapped out.

The gills look great. Helps distinguish it from a regular ZO6. I would like to see the wheels black like on the C4 version with maybe a polished lip.

We DO appreciate your hard work - thanks for posting this info about the cars, I didn't know any of the LS3's were hand built.

I love the car! So it is same spec and parts as the LS3 except the Grand sport motors are hand assembled. That's awesome.

Think you can put some go fast parts for any blocks going into Velocity Yellow GS's that might be hitting dealerships in about 2-3 months.
