I hope you're right... Then I might be able to walk into a dealer and order the Z06 I'm considering at MSRP (or less!) without the slightest quibble.

... Which ones, exactly?

Only one I think is even close is the "0-60 in 2.8 seconds!" one. The new Vette looks incredible IMO... But you know what they say about looks and opinions and all that.

"As fast"? So AWD + 100 HP is only worth "as fast"? Yet that's proof that AWD is superior?

Its brakes are also going to fade quicker with the extra weight, power, and speed.

You guys really think this is going to just be a halo car? Was really hoping it might be a re-work of the Corvette, even at entry level. :/

*sigh* If not, oh well. Guess I'm out again.

The 911 Turbo also has a crapton of horsepower and a rear-engine setup, putting all its weight on the rear tires... But no one's denying AWD will make you faster from a dig in a straight line.

If it was a bright green or some type of metallic purple, that might be enough to get me to ditch my GT4 allocation and go with a Grand Sport, heh.

The Grand Sport to me is all of the good parts of the Z06 with none of the excess. I don't need 650 hp, but I could use a better chassis, tires, and more heat-resistant brakes.

You're right, but if the Z06 overheats on the track, my guess is that most aftermarket SC LT1s also will overheat if they come with a similar amount of power. It seems unlikely to me that the...

Unless I'm missing something, $8K over base is not $68.4K. That's nearly $8K over the base with Z51 (about $7K I guess). That's quite a large premium given what the GS apparently comes with.
