What's wrong with your GrandSport?
We all know what we love about our GSs. But, what don't you like about you GS? I'll start:
- front tires are gone at 12-15 K.
- no All Season tire option available.
PS- Please, haters (and you know who you are), exert some self control and stay out of the thread.

1 When I floor the throttle, it makes an awful racket.
2 being delayed in parking lots while strangers ask questions.
3 Others drive too slow to force me to pass them so they can see and hear the car.
4 Trying to fit it and the C5 together in my side of the garage.

Tire wear sucks: 12k for the run craps. I just put Nitto Invo's on a couple weeks ago so will see how long they last .
Paint chips by rear tires from the tires throwing crap.
Neither were issues with my 05 Vert. I do love the looks of the GS better!

I hate that I don't drive it more. Having 3 motorcycles takes most of my free time.
I really wanna get it on the track soon!
What do I hate ABOUT it? Hmmmmm.
Can't help ya there.

i'm currently looking into the purchase of a vette, and i'm trying to learn what i can: can someone fill me in re: the real differences between the base car v. the grand sport both in terms of (1) the actual differences (specs) and (2) the practical differences that result (maintenance, performance, enjoyment that results from options, worth the price difference?, etc.) thanks.

I am with you on the All Season Issue. perhaps with a larger population of vehicles with these tire sizes that will change....
I drive my vette all year.
