Default GS?

What is the difference between a grand sport and a regular vette?

Was there any GS in 93 or 94?

I know a GS owner will fill in the gaps, but basically the GS was offered only in 1996 (along with the Collector Edition) and featured the LT-4, 6-speed combo that made 330, rather than 300 in the LT-1 cars. The GS also had wider 11-inch wheels in the back and had the special paint scheme.

Production low and these are very desirable cars.

Hope that helps until the GS guys reply.

You did a good job describing the Grand Sport! The production was 810 coupes and 190 convertibles (I have one of the 190 convertibles). The coupes, I believe, had the 11" rear wheels...not the convertibles. They all had the unique color combo...Admiral Blue with Arctic White stripe, and 2 red hashmarks on left front fender, and black 5 spoke ZR-1 style wheels. Convertibles only came with white vinyl tops.
