Had a 64 chevelle painted flat back that we had to go everywhere in when it was to be left parked somewhere. Got old. Got a 65 442 Vert that was awesome car then. But no thrill match.

You had some nice cars too! The C6 was on my bucket list, to finally replace the C2 after 50 years! I don't take it anywhere that I have to leave it parked. I have my Silverado PU for that!

Other than widebody, and small hood scoop on certain models, changes were kept to variations of side scoops. There are people on this forum that know everything. Maybe they will chime in.
Z51 was an option package. Grand Sport was a wide body Corvette model that came out in 2010. A Grand Sport comes with the Z51 option, but in no way are they the same thing.
