Agree with these statements - no telling how GM (Government Motors) will restructure the company and what divisions/makes will be produced in the coming years. Eliminating the racing/performance aspect of GM will be at the top of the liberal's agenda. :ack:

:iagree: The liberal messiah that shall deliver us unto socialism does not like V8 engines

Hmm... A Grand Sport with a widebody with badges! Imagine how many feathers that would ruffle!

If it's true I'd like to see what all the widebody haters would say... :crazy:

What news channel do you watch?

Not sure what your source of news and current events are, but you might be in for a real surprise. Keep in mind that we are talking about the same folks that run the postal service, paid AGI bonus and lied about when they knew about the bonus, fired GM president, and printing money like they are playing monopoly. These are just the facts reguardless of the news source.

Why do people argue Liberal verses Conservative? I never got that, the government is stupid regardless who is in charge, politicians are crooks regardless of party. The entire system is filled with people who are unfit to be in the office, because the actually competent people are doing something useful with their lives like teaching or research or making things.

This one would simply say that it came from the factory that way and is a special edition, indeed an actual legitimate model of Corvette, as opposed to something someone went into their garage and pieced together with parts purchased over the internet in an attempt to make their car to look like a model which it is not.

An actual legitimate model of a car, always trumps a bastardized version of another model of car.

Its really that simple.;)

So if there is a wide bodied version Grand Sport, then refer right back to this post for this person's perspective on it. :thumbs: :cheers:

The "base" ZR1 (RPO 1LZ) comes with accoutrements based on the Z06, including lightweight seats and lightweight content. The uplevel interior package includes unique, power-adjustable and leather-trimmed sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo); custom, leather-wrapped interior available in four colors; navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and more.

By the numbers

In addition to the exterior cues and powertrain, ZR1 models will be distinguished from other Corvette models by their VIN. Each will carry a unique, identifying VIN digit, as well as a sequential build number. This makes it easy to determine the build number of a specific car - information treasured by enthusiasts and collectors. For example, a ZR1 with a VIN ending in "0150" would indicate it is the 150 th ZR1 built for the model year.

"The bastards say... 'Welcome' " LOL

(quote from about 30 years ago... extra Geek points for you if you know the source! ;) )

So GM decided to add the wide body to the base vette and it's now a "premium performance" vette? And not a Z06 "clone"? lol. I love it.

Without labels, how would the idiots know who to hate?

The (Cloud) Bastards say, Welcome

In the Pulitzer prize winning "The Soul Of A New Machine", Tracy Kidder wrote of an ad that Data General produced but never ran. It read:

"They Say IBM's Entry Into Minicomputers Will Legitimize The Market. The Bastards Say, Welcome"

Is this it? Whatever and I hope I'm not a Geek!

Was hoping for a widebody option for convertible :(

That's it! +10 Geek points for you... Congrats! lol
;)

Oh nooo! :willy:

And just how do you know this?

Go back and read what I said. I think you missed something. :D

Heres a hint. If they are going to make a Corvette and call it a Grand Sport, I'm betting that it will have more performance features on it and more power than the base model of the same year. Better performing suspension parts brakes and tires at the very least. And not just a Z06/ZR1 lookalike wide body that any hack can do in his garage.

I know that you would like nothing more than for GM to "legitimize" the clandestine practice of building the abomination faux Z06s from otherwise base C6s by building them themselves. :D

Ain't gonna happen. :D And even if it does, well then its still a faux Z06, and I'll call it that no matter who builds it. Its still a base Vette wearing Z06 clothes, no matter who went to the trouble to build it.

What was that you said about the C6 ZHZ?????? Something about it being a poser, but with the manufacturer being the poser???

Same would apply here. :D

At any rate, if that happens, then you will know beyond any shadow of a doubt that GM is on it's last leg, if it has to make all of it's Vettes look like ZR1s and Z06s in an attempt to move more of them.

I said "look for it". I didn't swear that you would find it. ;)

Aside from Fichtner, and thats even in part of the discussion going on currently in this thread, how does anyone in this thread know what 2010 holds for the Vette, or GM for that matter, at this point in time?

You really do your point more damage than good talking like that. It smacks of elitism and immaturity at the same time. Obviously it takes some skill and care to assemble a widebody kit as well as put it together. Something any hack can do is change the oil not spend 3-10k of hard earned money creating something unique. I say unique because more often than not it isnt a copy cat z06 but something else entirely.
