Default Top Gear reviews the Grand Sport

It's a "first drive" actually, but it's better than nothing.

Fair review, for those who want the wide body looks and some other extras without the Z power it is a good choice.

Nah - I'm a Z06 owner, and like many of us, think the new GS is a cool ride, and a great add to the lineup.

11.8 that is yet to see, hope I can come up against one at the drags. But it is a road course car that most well never see or do.

Same here. They are all cool, just buy what you like.

Thanks for posting!
By the way, do any of you remember the Top Gear take on the 911, 911 C4S, and 911 Turbo? Involved 3 women in swimsuits . . . Used to be on Youtube but was taken down. Tried to find a link . . .

BTW, a pretty good analogy to the Corvette options.

What I'm looking for:

"So should I buy one?

An unreserved yes. It might not be the very fastest ‘Vette you can buy, but if you like cornering more than just driving in straight lines, this is the one for you. Enjoy."

The GS is interesting to say the least.
