This is the car I want. 1st it was the 02 ZO6. Then it was the 07 ZO6. Then I wanted to save money and go with the ls3 08. Now I want the 10 GS. It has the ZO6 look but I love how you can take the targa top off with still a hell of alot of power. I saw some on auto trader going for around 38k-43k. Still alot of money but alot of bang for your buck. Beautiful car. Now all I need to do is save 15k to put down. LOTTO PLEASE!!! Vette all the way.
Blueball0120, here in canada for example a base costs $60,000 a grand sport $65,000 and a Z06 is $90,000 which is a huge jump in price, as in the USA I can get a grand sport for $53,000 just how I like it, thats cheaper than our base models
@Blueball0120 he said the chinese should be proud of their cars or something like that. a country that is known for making knock-offs of REAL cars should not be proud of anything they put out.
The LS3 is one of the best N/A motors out there, with nothing more then a cam and headers you get near 500hp...and no change in reliabilty. Hopefully GM continues improving it and the corvette.
@SuperformanceMK3 cam and headers and you will be well over 500hp. The LS3 is slight underrated. It really makes about 445-450hp at the crank. Ive seen stock LS3 make 392 at the rear wheels. If you correct that for SAE brake horsepower its around 450.
i love vettes and stangs but unlike GM,ford has to take the stang to modification intelligence to make the stang fast,an entry level vette has a 3.9 time in 0-60,thats really fast for a stock car and for a car that cost only around 60k
Three questions.. is the rear fender the same width as the z06? I know its fiberglass instead of carbon but it it the exact same " part"? Also, i heard that the stability kicks in even in comp mode, is there a way to turn it OFF completely..,meaning disable it? lastly, is the dual mode exhaust AT IDLE AND below 3k QUIETER than the n/a mode exhaust. thanks!
The Grand sport is about 20k less than a Z06, a set of Headers, an Ex pipe, cold air intake, and a Dyno tune will get you close to a Z06 performance at a huge savings, and you can have a convertible!
@MilitantOldLady yeah but if you want a great performing car that looks great thats not as harsh as the z06 on the road and that's not too expensive this makes alot of sense especialy with the targa top
@1flynlow I think every 18 to 34 yo American male right now would gladly own one of these babys! Its just a matter of affordability! Those who have the $ for this type of car generally tend to be a bit older... so what?
well i know that! im a 21 year old who would do awfull things for a corvette.. but im afraid that by the time i can afford one, i'll be just some old loser trying to pick up girls a third of my age in a new vette.
heritage package stripes reminds me of audi S series. i wish i had a job at GM that gave briefs of the kind of cars needed in the lineup. A PLM maybe? I have a few ideas! Everyone here loves corvettes... BUT, HOW BADASS WOULD A CORVETTE BE IF IT WAS SMALLER IN SIZE, AND IF THE MOTOR WAS SMALLER, SAME HP, BUT CAN REV TO 11K RPM???? DUUUUUUDE! I THINK THE ZR-1 SHOULD BE THE BASE MODEL'S PERFORMANCE NUMBERS... THEN BUILD FROM THERE.
grand sport (436hp) is a great car for $55K but you have to consider the super awesome 5 passenger $58k CTS-V(556hp) as well. So now the grand sport seems overpriced.
HEY! Nobody listen to Georgenflammer! If you read his profile he clearly describes his homosexuality. Also he trash talks our American SuperCars, but he OWNS an IMPORT car tuner company. What a homo. He claims his four-bangers can beat OUR AMERICAN V8's. So how has his country, New Zealand, contributed to the car world? So he doesnt drive New Zealand cars he drives rice burners from Japan. O wait he cant buy NZ cars because they dont even make fucking cars!! What lazy fat asses!!
DodMentallyChallenged, I just realized that you are just an amerikan 15 year old twink. As you amerikans say, "I tell you what", when you grow some hair on your ass, you can post something, and send it in my direction. Until then, go to your room, and keep your mouth shut.
My God you are an ignorant man. You come on here and insult america with generalzing stereotypes and remain ignorant to the facts of your own country. Obesity In new Zealand is rising at an alarming rate. For every person who lives there, 100 kg of butter is produced every year. You protest America and claim to hate it. why? Because that seems to be the trend in other countries, blaim America for everything? Do you even know why you hate America?
Other than a high obesity rate, and if that is the only case than you are pathetic. Hating people for how they are or what they look like. Thats how Hitler thought buddy. OH and about American cars being fat and slow, the corvette in the video above weighs 3200 pounds and goes 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. Not exactly slow.
its nice to see american car company's finally putting quality in their cars. whos cares if its a little more pricier if its a better made car. goodwork gm badass car
KevinBloBack, who is Keith Urban? Is that your boyfriend? Ive never heard of him, of course Ive never heard of you either. So, if your in love with Mr. Urban, I don't need to know about it. Referencing your statement as you hating everyone that is envious of amerikans, you must not hate anyone. Got it? Good. Now, go back to work cleaning your McDonald's men's room, stuff your fat face with big macs, and tell your mother she needs to get some antibiotics at the free clinic. Amerikan cars are junk
name a car from New Zeland and i'll name an American car that can walk all over it's sorry but. Oh, wait New Zealand has never made any cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D
@TheDodgeChallenger Aston Martin and TVR are both British cars, but very different. To say "New Zealand has never made a car" is grammatically incorrect. Maybe "no companies from New Zealand have ever made a note worthy car" is closer to what you were trying to say. If your grammar is a representative behind the types of people that buy "American Cars," you end up portraying the uneducated swine people have come to associate with Dodge, and American products. Aren't generalizations fun?
@TheDodgeChallenger People get A's by taking easy classes too, A's don't prove intelligence.
And I was referring to the image you portray by having misspelled words, and saying "New Zealand" hasn't made any cars, when if you really think about it, no country itself has ever made a car company. The sentence just doesn't make sense.
@rarejd I still don't really understand this point if new zealand has car makers than they are obviously not as good as american cars and european cars that almost everyone knows about.
@TheDodgeChallenger no but if the same exact car is just rebadged to make it look like a GTO... then obviously its not a true GTO. they could have at least gave it better suspension or something. an LS3 would have been nice too.
@TheDodgeChallenger Actually, i know the New Zealander who invented the Aquada, the Car-Boat. so it turns out your wrong, not only does New Zealand make a car, but that car is also a boat, I dont know many american cars that could beat that.
@KamKamalam my point was he was talking about how america sucks so bad and how new zealand is so much better. I just proved him wrong about my country sucking. I actually want to go and hunt in new zealand some day.
Mozegrass, its people like you that gives everyone in the rest of the world a reason to hate amerikans. Im glad Im not an amerikan. I couldnt stand being stupid, obese, and lazy, and being hated by everyone throughout the rest of the world. Now, go back to your crack whore, and lay back down. Oh, and by the way, amerikan cars are slow and overweight, just like the amerikans that build them. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it! Lets stay on task and talk about cars now. Amerikan cars = JUNK!
The car is nice, but it just seems to be a regular vett in z06 clothing. I had heard the zo6 is a great track car, but with the 505 ponies in it, I also heard it can be a little squirly in the corners. Perhaps the 6.2 with 435 hp will help that. All I'm saying is that for over 60 grand. it better be a great track day car.
Fantacyality004, first of all, China doesn't own any one state, it owns the united states because of the trillions of dollars the united stated has borrowed from their Communist government. Do you understand now, dumbass? Seond, you are not going to kick anyone's ass, especially mine, because you are just a little girlie-boy amerikan. You are also a lazy Big Mac eating obese amerikan. Okay? okay.
All of the stupid comments you can post out here will never make up for how happy I am that the United States has saved the world from domination by other countries not once, but twice. If not for us, you wouldn't even have the freedom to post to sites like this. Get a life. Can we get back to the purpose of this blog, which is to talk about cars?
yet3433346, nobody wants to live in the states. Even the illegal Mexicans are moving back home. You are amerikans are delusional. Here I am trying to teach you people, and you are being hateful. I realize that being hateful and rude is part of amerika's culture, but if you open your mind, you may learn something. Stupid obese amerikan!
2010 Vettes come with LC? or is more of a TC with less power cut off? Anyone drive one yet by any chance? I think Chevy may be a little behind in that department. 0-60 in 3.6 w/LC. Now I know the ZR1 is claimed 3.3-3.5 in 09 of corse with the right conditions & all. Call it 3.5, I was hoping LC would get it down to 3.3-3.4 consistently :-( But I couldn't help but notice when he mentioned his 0-60 runs they showed him w/ a passenger. I wonder if those times were timed w/ a passenger in it!?
Why are all you amerikans such haters? I know you are lazy and obese, but why do you hate everybody just because we aren't american, fat, lazy, and stupid? Is it just envy, or could it be more? Is it because your country is trillions of dollars in debt and you are in debt to Communist China, and that China can call in their loans at any time? Yes, that it. Your country is no longer the most powerful. It is now China, since China now owns the states. Better learn Chinese quick!
The US is made up of the brightest minds of all the world. Peoples from every nation. So you must be referring to every nation as fat lazy and stupid. The US will always be the #1 world leader because its freedoms and personal rights will keep it there. Even with its debt everyone recognizes it as the most desirable nation to live out of all. Learn to spell americans you freaking retard.
one, china does not own any american states, because u cant, and we might be in debt but we still are the most powerful country, and not all americans are fat and lazy, i am not a fat lazy american, and im postive i could kick your ass
You still didn't answer my question Georgey boy. What are some of the great cars to have come out of New Zealand?
And American's aren't "haters". The only thing we hate are people from other countries who envy everything that America is and everything it stands for. So you make blanket statements that we're all fat, lazy and stupid. Keep it up, it's still not going to change the fact that everyone laughs at your insignificant country whose only contribution to pop culture is maybe Keith Urban.
KevinGayBrew, yes, your country rocks alright. I heard on the BBC, one out of every 100 children in the states is autistic...so yeah, your country rocks alright. LOL, you stupid ass amerikan.
Better than fucking new zeland anyway... hahahaha!!! don't watch American car videos, watch NZ car videos instead! hahahahahaha! (and stick a kiwi up your ass!!!!)
MichailABurban, shitty 3rd world country? Are you referring to the states, because the states is no longer considered 3rd world, shitty yes, but 3rd world, no. Yeah, I lived in the states for 3 months, and it seems like 3rd world for somebody that lives outside of the states, so you are correct there. However, the Brits have forgiven the yanks for all they've done years ago. Its just too bad the yanks don't know about in-door plumbing or diapers for their in-bred children. So I understand.
again u dont know anything about the U.S. "seems like shitty third world country"? Ok, so who invented the first mass produced automobile, the computer, the internet, first went to the moon, and is home to companies like apple and microsoft? Seriously, visit NY or LA then spew your nonsense
Listen George, wishing I was gay is not going to make your dreams come true. Lets stick to talking about cars. YouTube is not the appropriate forum for you to air all your homo erotic fantasies for all to see.
You still didn't answer my question. What are some of the great cars that have come out of New Zealand? I anxiously await your response:)
What the #1 activity in New Zealand, f*cking goats? You sound like a f*cking 12 year old who spends all day trying to provoke everyone on the internet. Go and spend more time and money making your girlie cars go faster. Real men drive V8s, fags like you spend 20K on a civic to catch up.
Honestly, I think this is stupid. So now the 75k Z06 costs 20k more for an aluminum chassis and LS7, but everything else is the same. I mean these cars blended way too well with one another in the 1st place but now this is just annoying. I'd be pissed if I owned a Z06, paid 20k more but am only getting about 5k worth of difference from the 55k GS Vette.
mengekobater, My life is not full of luxurious things. I lead a pretty decent life, but Ive worked hard for the things I own. Its not good for you people to be envious or people from other countries. Your people wouldn't last long here in my country, you would have to work for a living pretty hard. Besides that, we don't have very many McDonalds restaurants because we don't believe in amerikan feeding styles. Basically obesity is frowned upon in my country. So the jobs for americans are sparce.
wow. u know absolutely nothing of the states. go stay in southern california or new york for a couple weeks then u can make vast generalizations about my country.
That sure is an ugly car. I actually liked the look of the corabeth, but like amerikans, they get uglier every year. Look at that stripe, I guess that represents bankruptsey. LOL! JUNK JUNK junky amerikan JUNK!
the ignorance of this guy...man u got to be kidding me, i swear...but its alright, we respect freedom of speech. Now I take it, from reading your profile, that you live something of a successful life correct? But how can you verify such a thing, this lifestyle sounds way to luxurious. But who am I to judge, because unlike you, I am not a douche. So, if you dislike AMERICAN cars, then why would you comment on one? It really does not make sense. Oh please work on you English, it sounds horrible.
I'm sitting here trying to think of all the great cars that have come out of New Zealand and I'm drawing a blank. You come from a country who's only real contribution to the planet are some pretty scenery shots from "Lord of the Rings". Don't be jealous of America because we rock so hard and our cars can perform as well as exotics at a fraction of the price:)
Now the ZO6 needs to ditch its 505-bhp 7.0 liter LS7 for the supercharged 556-bhp dry sump 6.2 liter LS9 from the Cadillac CTS-V and the adjustable suspension, of which is optional in the Base Corvette and standard in the ZR1, to stay relevant.
Not really - Z06 is all about lightweight focussed race car. This car doesn't have the aluminium frame, the carbon fiber, and is almost 200 pounds heavier- that's a whole passenger ;)
Wow. I'd say that times are more than "kinda tough" at the General right now. If natural selection were left to do it's thing in the world auto industry, sad to say I think the General would be on the extreme end of the endangered species list right now if not actually extinct. I'd be really sorry to see that happen but if they keep making cars with friggen stripes on the guards and crap interiors, they're never going to sell enough cars on the world market to survive. Wake up GM...wake up!
Wow, still plastic. Still running on gas. What a marvelous achievement! Wow, a splitter and stripes on the fender! Look at the Audi E-Tron and you get the idea how fucking behind the US is getting. Well, I am not surprised if you call this piece of crap "band new" and "incredible and "amazing". You are something.
This is the car I want. 1st it was the 02 ZO6. Then it was the 07 ZO6. Then I wanted to save money and go with the ls3 08. Now I want the 10 GS. It has the ZO6 look but I love how you can take the targa top off with still a hell of alot of power. I saw some on auto trader going for around 38k-43k. Still alot of money but alot of bang for your buck. Beautiful car. Now all I need to do is save 15k to put down. LOTTO PLEASE!!! Vette all the way.

KevinBloBack, who is Keith Urban? Is that your boyfriend? Ive never heard of him, of course Ive never heard of you either. So, if your in love with Mr. Urban, I don't need to know about it. Referencing your statement as you hating everyone that is envious of amerikans, you must not hate anyone. Got it? Good. Now, go back to work cleaning your McDonald's men's room, stuff your fat face with big macs, and tell your mother she needs to get some antibiotics at the free clinic. Amerikan cars are junk

name a car from New Zeland and i'll name an American car that can walk all over it's sorry but. Oh, wait New Zealand has never made any cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D
TheDodgeChallenger 2 years ago 27
@TheDodgeChallenger Aston Martin and TVR are both British cars, but very different. To say "New Zealand has never made a car" is grammatically incorrect. Maybe "no companies from New Zealand have ever made a note worthy car" is closer to what you were trying to say. If your grammar is a representative behind the types of people that buy "American Cars," you end up portraying the uneducated swine people have come to associate with Dodge, and American products. Aren't generalizations fun?

@TheDodgeChallenger People get A's by taking easy classes too, A's don't prove intelligence.
And I was referring to the image you portray by having misspelled words, and saying "New Zealand" hasn't made any cars, when if you really think about it, no country itself has ever made a car company. The sentence just doesn't make sense.

The car is nice, but it just seems to be a regular vett in z06 clothing. I had heard the zo6 is a great track car, but with the 505 ponies in it, I also heard it can be a little squirly in the corners. Perhaps the 6.2 with 435 hp will help that. All I'm saying is that for over 60 grand. it better be a great track day car.

Its easier to handle for sure, just slightly slower than the z06 around most tracks. I purchased my Grand Sport for 56k.

2010 Vettes come with LC? or is more of a TC with less power cut off? Anyone drive one yet by any chance? I think Chevy may be a little behind in that department. 0-60 in 3.6 w/LC. Now I know the ZR1 is claimed 3.3-3.5 in 09 of corse with the right conditions & all. Call it 3.5, I was hoping LC would get it down to 3.3-3.4 consistently :-( But I couldn't help but notice when he mentioned his 0-60 runs they showed him w/ a passenger. I wonder if those times were timed w/ a passenger in it!?

Why are all you amerikans such haters? I know you are lazy and obese, but why do you hate everybody just because we aren't american, fat, lazy, and stupid? Is it just envy, or could it be more? Is it because your country is trillions of dollars in debt and you are in debt to Communist China, and that China can call in their loans at any time? Yes, that it. Your country is no longer the most powerful. It is now China, since China now owns the states. Better learn Chinese quick!

The US is made up of the brightest minds of all the world. Peoples from every nation. So you must be referring to every nation as fat lazy and stupid. The US will always be the #1 world leader because its freedoms and personal rights will keep it there. Even with its debt everyone recognizes it as the most desirable nation to live out of all.

And American's aren't "haters". The only thing we hate are people from other countries who envy everything that America is and everything it stands for. So you make blanket statements that we're all fat, lazy and stupid. Keep it up, it's still not going to change the fact that everyone laughs at your insignificant country whose only contribution to pop culture is maybe Keith Urban.

Honestly, I think this is stupid. So now the 75k Z06 costs 20k more for an aluminum chassis and LS7, but everything else is the same. I mean these cars blended way too well with one another in the 1st place but now this is just annoying. I'd be pissed if I owned a Z06, paid 20k more but am only getting about 5k worth of difference from the 55k GS Vette.

Now the ZO6 needs to ditch its 505-bhp 7.0 liter LS7 for the supercharged 556-bhp dry sump 6.2 liter LS9 from the Cadillac CTS-V and the adjustable suspension, of which is optional in the Base Corvette and standard in the ZR1, to stay relevant.
