Default Finally pulled the trigger...

After months of debating and searching, I finally left my base 2005 vert for this gorgeous 2010 Grand Sport. I bounced back and forth on the Z06 but ultimately decided on the Grand Sport since I have no plans or intentions of tracking the car. If someday I get the urge for more power I can definitely work on mods

with this engine! I'm very happy with my decision!

I drove from Albuquerque NM to Scottsdale AZ at 6pm on Saturday in my old Vette to make the deal happen. It looks better in person and was definitely worth the drive!

Yes, that color is crazy cool... The blue flakes in that grey color looks killer in the sunlight! I had never looked close at a cyber grey Vette until this one.

That's a beauty, for sure.
I have the factory fender stripes on mine, but somehow I feel that with your combo, gray/black/gray, the car would look better without them. Especially if they are aftermarket, and much less costly, which they appear to be.
Either way, enjoy.

this. I went from a base to the GS and couldn't be happier. the GS has that very aggressive look about it, whereas the base looks timid and meek. anyway, congratulations on a fine looking GS.

Congrats on the Beauty!

I'm very surprised that the GS guys didn't invite you for a free drink at the Hammy Grand Sport Bar & Grill.
Don't fret, we base owners just renovated the lower portion of the bar, and you are invited for a "free" drink on us at "THE BASE CAMP"
Use the side entrance and take the elevator down to the bar.

This will be your friendly server, unlike the ones in the Bar above.




Here is the key to the Hammy's.

Should have stuck with "That's a beauty, for sure." and "Enjoy." rather than the unsolicited turd in the punch bowl comments about the color of the fender stripes.
