If the past is any indication...2 to 3 months.

Wow! That is absolutely absurd. So, to order black wheels it's $495 and to add a red stripe and black it's $1500?

I totally agree. All the same wheel. Silver paint... no charge. Paint it black for 500 bucks... ad a red stripe for 1000.

Makes me want to open a wheel striping business (jk)

Does the Grand Sport have the lighter carbon fiber torque tube from the ZO6 or the steel one from the Z51\ base?

The article reads just like the other ones wrote when the car was unveiled.

I can't *wait* for some real reviews though.

Been curious about this myself. Not sure if I've seen a factual answer posted yet.

Well they also got the rotor sizes wrong on the article. They are as large as the Z06. One thing they said that was very interesting is how the exhaust is implied to be more aggressive/differently tuned than the Z51/Stingray. I don't think they meant the NPP upgrade on the Z51 when they said this:
"Chevrolet has made the Grand Sport a little more aggressive than the standard Stingray, according to Charlie Rusher, a noise and vibration engineer on the Corvette."

I have a AB convertible on order and now, thanks to WSTAAB, I have a little bit of an idea what the convertible will look like. I looked at the Sterling Blue, but couldn't decide how much blue there actually was in it since I only saw pictures of it from the Bash. Still looks pretty nice in the posted picture, but my order is in and supposed to be built the first week in August. Thanks again for the pictures!
