Yes, pretty sure. Those Brits must not have heard that GM keeps these things a secret.
Hopefully he doesn't get called to the principal's office.

Sooooo, the expectation is there will be a Grand Sport announcement a full two months before the bash at the end of April?
Really?

If this is true, I got this one DEAD wrong. I never thought they would do a Grand Sport after what the C6 GS did to the Z06, sales wise. Oh well...can't wait to see it.

It's being introduced with the C7R on a turntable. There is a driving vid introduction it says. Using the Corvette team to promo it....definitely sounds like it's intent is to fill a void.
