Oh so instead of bumping the Grand Sport thread and making a point in there, you made a new thread on a feature of the Grand Sport. Nice

Thanks. Is it bad that I am thinking about lunch at 8am?  
Maybe I should eat something more than a piece of fruit for breakfast.

The thread wasn’t about the GS, DB. It was about Launch control coming on ALL 2010 Models and that’s also what the link was for. Just because I hhad one sentence that mentioned the GS doesn’t mean that the whole damn thread was about it.

It looks ok but the name grand sport sounds so cheesy. That gray color on vettes is by far my favorite.

bump

The Corvette Grand Sport features a launch control so simple your little sister could use it while she puts on her mascara at the light. It is also blisteringly effective and makes a whole lot of the right noises, as you can see in this video of a demo run in a dealership parking lot. How’s that for a test drive? Follow the jump to check it out. (Note: no warranties were voided in the making of this video.)

You’re positive using the function supplied with the car didn’t void any warranties? That doesn’t seem logical ?

Bump:

If the introduction of the ZR1 into the Corvette lineup has made the base model look a bit dull, the Grand Sport package more than fills the aesthetic gap between the models. The Grand Sport package includes Stingray-like gills aft of the front wheels, unique rims and Z06 brakes. Unique suspension tuning reportedly nets a 0-60 time that goes from 4.2 seconds on the base coupe to 4.0 seconds in its updated configuration.

Corvette Blogger is reporting what it says is official Grand Sport package pricing, and the bottom line isn’t as tough to swallow as some may have envisioned. The Bowtie fanboy site lists Grand Sport pricing at $55,720 for the coupe and $59,530 for the convertible. That’s a not-inconsequential $6,205 bump for the coupe and $5,360 for the droptop. The Grand Sport package essentially obviates the need for the $1,695 Z51 package, however, so you’re basically looking at $3,500-$4,500 for the retuned suspension, widebody stance, Z06 brakes, improved 0-60 mph times, and aeshetic and exclusivity benefits, which doesn’t strike us as a bad deal.
