We have driven many, many Corvettes
over the years, from bone-stock automatics to the absurdly endowed ZR1 to
Ron Fellows' C5-R GT1 racecar, and it occurs to us that rarely have we ever
pined for more power in Chevrolet's plastic fantastic.
On several occasions, though, we have wanted more grip — sometimes, in fact,
that desire was, er, urgent. Take a look here for an example of one such
occasion.
The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 remains, pumping out the same extremely capable 430
horsepower and 424 lb-ft or torque (436 horsepower and 428 lb-ft with the
optional two-mode sport exhaust) and is easily manipulated to do your
bidding through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic
transmission. The Grand Sport's calipers are distinguished by their silver
with red lettering and the rotors have been enlarged to Z06-spec, 14-inch
with six-piston calipers in front and 13.4-inch with four-piston grabbers in
the rear. Also equipped are revised shock/spring settings and heavier duty
stabilizer bars. The 2010 Grand Sport rides on unique 18-inch front and 19-inch
rear wheels wrapped in sticky 275/35ZR18 and 325/30ZR19 tires, front and
rear.
