Any Notable Changes For 2010?
Aside from the Z being available in any available Corvette color - any power upgrade? Any driveline strengthening?
With the Grand Sport getting the all the Z stuff except the engine, wouldn't it make sense that the Z06 get's a little some some under the hood?

As far as the 2010 Z06 it gets launch control as all 2010 Corvettes do.

Motor Trend tested the new Camaro with the Chevy launch control.... it was SLOWER when they used it as compared to a good driver.
O to 60 was 4.7 with driver control.... 5.1 using launch control.
Another useless gadget!
As far as the GS vs Z06. It really is a Z06 minus the aluminium frame and LS7.... BUT.. they havent release the price yet. I bet it will be $$$. A coupe will be very close to $70K and the Vert at 75K+ IMO

They do need to up the power on the Z's. I think a 550hp Z06 would be easier to sell than a 505hp version. lot of people buy that just to say they got more power than the earlier guys do

I think you are right in the target area Frank.
Grand Sport = C6 with Z06 brakes and Z06 body panels. And badges.

What exactly IS "launch control?" (I'll go research it separately anyway.)

Big differences for anyone who loves racing, or knows anything about modifying a car. I'll happily stick the 427 over any other 6.x liter offered by GM. It is what sets it apart now and forever over all other corvettes including the ZR1.
