These things were a big hit at a car show I attended last year. Not for me though. The sunlight's reflection off these cars was blinding.

I hear you guys crying about $6400 more for a Grand sport but your the guys who don't have a grand sport. One guy even goes as far as to say Z06 looks but with out the power, Try to read the 1/4 mile times before you speak so you know what your talking about 1st

The only guys I hear crying about the $6400 more for a grand sport is you base boys only, One guy even goes as far to say Z06 look with out the power. You should read the 1/4 mile times before you speak so you know what your talking about because you don't. Here's a easy question you have a base car on one side and a grand sport on the other and you can HAVE either one, which one do you want ?. The crowd YELLS GRAND SPORT !!!!!!!!!!!

Crying? No one is crying about Anything. They are expressing their opinion and driving what they want.

Have you Read the C6 "Fast list" on 1/4 mile times? Apparently not. Here ya go.

Here is your answer to your "easy" question. I had that choice and i choose my "Base" car. GS is a great car too.
To each their own.

I love the look of the GS...it's beautiful and the performance is there from the upgrades....BUT as a DD I'd go with a base...dry sump oil changes, brakes, and tires will add to that 6400 dollar bump.

If you say so. My thing is this..to each his own, just don't be a dck about it. I may go wide body as a necessity. Not really digging the increased tire cost though.

In actuality, you only have to mess with the dry-sump oil changes if you have a manual transmission in a GS coupe.

Ahh that makes sense. GM doesn't believe that people in Verts and people with Autos want a dry sump for some reason. I mean, why would anyone with a vert hit the road course right!?!?!
