2010 Corvette Grand Sport Revealed

looks like a 550 barchetta from the side

looks like a ferrari 550 barchetta from the side

Why they can't get more than 436 from the 6.2L?

Very nice. I'm happy to see GM make some moves like this. The Corvette's biggest problem is its image.

I think its time for a new model

Those Silver Strips on the Front Fender Look Silly..... New model in the near future seems highly unlikely given the current scenario.

i lost count...how many models & packages available for Corvette?? 6.2L engine pumps out 430 hp? sounds like dinosaur to me. what's the displacement for M3? how about GTR?

I was thinking it was an American-ized Ferrari by the looks of the side profile.

Seriously.. they even needed a supercharger to get over 600 hp for the ZR1..

to all of you who are puting the corvette down for needing so much displacement for is power output the corvette's engine is a push rod desighn (ohv), this is a very old desighn that most car makers ditched when ohc & dohc came along. Is is harder to make power from an ohv engine than a similarly sized ohc engine. thats why ferraris and such which use ohc engines make so much more power for there displacement

Americans like to look at a car's quarter mile times , for that you need Torque over Horsepower. big V8s are cheap and provide a lot of torque , so it's the obvious choice for a car like the Corvette.

Regardless of how great this car may be, it is still over priced. The interior is a joke, up until 2005 it had the same dash as a Sierra Pick-up truck...It's a sweet ride, better than a viper. But it is what it is a GM, with GM quality. And it's not cheap either. So at the end of the day just like 99% of the world id spend my $ on a porsche or a M3 convertible. It's not just about performance, at the end of the day the ride is uncomfortable, the build and materials are low quality. Joe im sure if u had the $$ to buy a vette you wouldn't. People that buy these cars buy them for fun, and if you have enough $ to drop 70gs on a car for fun i'm sure you dont care about fuel economy and you have another 30gs to get a proper sports car. At the end of the day anyone that buys a vette settled for it, they still have a poster of a ferrari or porsche in their garage. Ask any vette owner if they got offered an F430 for their vette would they trade? All of them will say yes..so which is the better car?

Oh also to add, you can get a nice Aston Martin V8 Vantage for 100k...There is just soo much out there to settle for a vette. Only way id buy a vette would be in the hypothetical situation someone was holding a gun to my head and said you HAVE to get a 2 seater sports car, has to be new, and you only have 80k. Which never happens in real life.

Corvette has always been about performance, not the stitching on the seats (why don’t you get a Bentley?). The ’69 Corvette was as fast as a Testarossa that came years later. Funny that the car that's whole image is ultimate sport scar (the Ferrari Enzo) gets thrashed by an old pushrod V8 around the Nurburgring just to add insult to injury Corvette whips them year after year in the GT1 class at Le Mans with the same old engine. You think technology is the important thing, but you are actually mistaken with development (example Porsche flat six). Technology is what you brag to your friends about, development is what wins races and develops a proud history like Corvette has build over the years.

hmmmmm honestly its like dbehmoaras said, the corvette is a corvette. accept it for what it is. but! i still think the corvettes body should change to fit the presents sleek sporty feel and style.

Harshreality you are the one that’s showing your ignorance and the fact that you are uninformed. Chevy dominated Indycar with its 2.65l engine. So I can live with the fact that Corvette is like a 10 year old and F430 like a 5 year old (after all it is at least 12 seconds a lap faster around the Nurburgring). The relation is fitting.

You don't care about the fuel consumption, the reliability, how much it costs, why do you care about the displacement. 2006: "this week in Germany, the heart of the C6.R, it's LS7.R motor, was recognized as Global Motorsport Engine of the Year by a jury of 50 race engine engineers". You must be a genius, to know more than 50 race engineers.

Ummmm I smell jealousy!!! I for one know what its like to own, drive, and work on corvettes. Lambo, maserati, ferrari, porsche all crap!! Save your money if you can even afford one and buy a life. my Vette pushes over 700 hp with heads, supercharger, and custom cam. SMOKE all those crap cars with fuel and cash to spare.
