I know there was some discussion about the rear axle gear ratio on the new Grand Sport with the A6.

Here is more detail on that topic and a lot more. Of course, all information here is subject to change. Sorry the long post, but I wasn't sure everyone had MS Word to open a Word document.

GU2 REAR AXLE, 2.73 RATIO, LIMITED-SLIP, PERFORMANCE (Included
and only available with (MX0) 6-speed paddle shift, automatic
transmission.)

EvilBoffin

Rich,

Thanks for posting this...

Are you thinking about replacing your '08 Z51 with a '10 GS ???

peter pan

Wow lots of combos available and I should see a few at the C4/ZR1 cruise in this week

RRVettes

I'm considering it. But also considering a Callaway conversion down the road.

*89x2*

I heard there are already a half-dozen Callaway GS orders, before pricing from Chevy has been released for the GS option

RRVettes

I don't doubt it, Pete said they were working on it. That'll be a sweet Callaway Vette.

*89x2*

Get your order in early, you could be lucky #007

RRVettes

007 could be a cool serial number to own.

hjlim88

How much do you guys think the Grand Sport with 1LT will cost? Around 55k?

gota07

Regarding the Word document, there are free programs available to convert Word documents to PDF files that anyone can open. One I've used is named PDF Creator.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

H-TOWNC6

Still no LMB, so no thanks......I'll keep mine.

RRVettes

Thanks, I'll check it out.

danl72

Thanks for the info.

cmonkey713

Got me thinking now.

trivette

So, the Z51 suspension package that was supposedly included in the Grand Sport option is actually called Z16? The Z51 option apparently is no more, either as a stand alone item or included in a specific model. I thought some earlier information referred to the GS suspension as being Z51. Probably not a big deal, just a difference in what it is named. Am I interpreting this correctly?

mgtr

Does the near certainty of a GM Chapter 11 put paid to the Grand Sport?

*89x2*

Z51 is gone for 2010


English, please

Sportsdude

Thanks for the info. Hope to see the pricing soon

corvettezman

The GS is definitely on the short list of "my next car" !
I will wait probably til 2012 to get a nice used 2010 model.

It'll have to be either:

red, cyber gray, or my current 05 color black.

VET4LES

Thanks for the information.
