And why.

Only points I have with the difference is the ugly gs fenders and the slight hp difference.

PLEASE do not feed the troll.............

I wouldnt say the GS has ugly fenders and the power difference is more than "slight". Same with the torque, rpm limit and weight.

Both amazing cars.

Your nameis Z06LUST and you have a Grand Sport logo as an avatar. CLASSIC! lol

peter pan

Drive them both and see which one you like best, oh I like the GS fenders

Z06LUST

I've owned 3 Z06s.... 2 C5's and 1 C6. Bought an 11 Grand Sport after an arm injury made shifiting an issue and manual had to go...arm is better (1 yr of post surgery rehab)....auto GS is now gone. Never paid attention to the avatar--much more important things in this life to consider........ Screen name has been the same since 2004...why change???

Just thought it was funny.

Glad you are on the road to being better. Get back to rowin' through the gears and slappin' the ladies on the rear!

Nothing beats a Z06...

Z06LUST

No worries--all is good.

Well to me. 80 Flywheel hp isn't that much. And I guess I would say I am not to fond of the gs fenders. But just wanted others inputs on why a gs over a c6z.

msnbound

Cuz it's a zo6...... Enough said.....

80 flywheel HP is night and day in this case... I own one of each so I know.

skull

Yea but I guess im looking at it more of the ls3 vs ls7 mod for mod and the ls7 breaking point is 650 wheel and the ls3 is near the 900 mark

And seeing ppls thoughts on a gs over a c6z

Buying new, there is a dollar difference as well as a huge difference in availability, as there are a whole lot more brand new GS models than Z06 models on the lots.

Z06LUST

$20k difference in similiar cars (option levels) If ya want to build your own buy the GS, then add Z06 front fenders, have the engine rebuilt, add a blower etc.....Your car, well above Z06 performance for less money....just understand it wil Not be a Z06 nor carry a 427 engine. That is important to some and not to others-highly individual in choice/decision.

I should have said. Im comparing 06-08 c6z to 2011 gs

I have a 2010 GS,I didn't want to fork out the extra bucks for the Z06.
Basically,the difference is the engine and the frame. However,if you order the GS with a 6-sp and a coupe,you'll get the rear end differential cooler,engine oil cooler,tranny cooler,10.5 qt dry sump system,with the battery mounted in the trunk and a forged crank. You do not get these goodies with either a convertible or auto tranny.

If you can find a decent price with low miles and the color you want,by all means get the Z. One thing I do like on occasion over the Z,I can take my top off,the Z you can't.

I don't know if I helped or not,but this is my 2 cents on the matter.

if you plan to mod extensively.. gs.

Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for! Thank you. Anyone else with this kind of answer
