Red, glad to hear you're going to be getting back into a Vette. If I were to get another one, it would definitely be a Grand Sport. Hope to see you back on the forum.
Good luck and happy car hunting.

True that. There is so much bad info I can't stand it...
Launch control started in 2010 on manual trans;
Dry sump was on Z06 (not Z51) and ZR1 before GS coupes with manual trans;
GS coupes with manual trans also had diff cooler;
You build it motors came out in 2011;
Wixom hand built motors were for Z06, ZR1, and dry sump LS3 for the GS coupe.

Does the convertible MT GS have the diff cooler, or just the coupe?
I could crawl under my car and look, but I'll just ask here instead.

It's posted that I'm wrong and of corse, assuming that was part of the Z51 package. I had watched the review videos from Autoweek and Motor Trend and when they said the GS replaced the Z51 package base, I assumed it came with dry sump. My bad and beg my pard.
I'll shut up now.
I googled what year the dry sump was available for Z51 package and it brings up 2014. I'm sure it's wrong, but there it is.

If you are buying a used GS, you should probably look under the car or ask the seller to tell you about differential and trans coolers. My 13 GS convertible is an MZ6 and it has both the trans and differential coolers.

Just checked mine and my 'vert has the KNR and KNP trans and diff coolers as well (also has the MZ6 trans).
