Too bad this is 64 thousand vs the 53 thousand base corvette convertable. You can buy aftermarket mods to make it look just like this for way less than dealer installed.
I almost selected cyber gray. It's a great looking color. But, as I walked through the parking lot at work one day, I noticed that all of the cars were black, gray, silver or white. So, I went with crystal red to give us a little color out there.
@CeeStyleDj I remember seeing the 2009 sales figures last year and I think Cyber gray was either second or third behind black in popularity. I have no idea what 2010 sales figures will be. I've yet to see a Cyber Gray Corvette on the road, despite the popularity of the color.
@CeeStyleDj I didn't see the 2010 production stats, but in 2009 they only made 1 in LeMans Blue. That may be because they introduced the color late in the production year. Only 726 were made in Atomic Orange. That's probably why you couldn't buy one in Atomic Orange in 2010.
Not the same old chevy. Some people just don't have a clue. This is the last muscle America has to be proud of and a true "sports/super car". Drive one once. That's all it takes. Freakin awesome and the most bang for the buck in the world.
For the price, it simply can't get any better than this. The stripes help it define Corvettes a little bit' because honestly they all look alike to the average Joe Shmoe.
I'd buy. I just which it had a full 500 horses in it. They could have chose better stocked rims Those rims look like foil wrap. Lol.
That is one butt ugly car. Could Chevy cram a few more scoops, notches, latches, gills, plates, badges, flares, vents, and creases on there? And all that shiny fake carbon-fiber plastic in the interior just screams "cheap".
Okay, grandpa. A fucking 39 year old bashing a car? You probably just don't like the convertible because people will see your fucking bald spot, bitch. What do you drive?? Does this make your yaris look bad and that's why you're angry? Wait, you probably can't even afford a yaris.
Hell, I'm pretty sure you aren't even old enough to drive. When you actually grow some hair on your peaches (if you actually even have some), maybe you'll eventually figure out that adding big fins, stickers, and a Foster's can on your exhaust doesn't make it faster. But I'm obviously talking to a 7 year old who's first car will undoubtedly be a beater Yugo... if his parents mortgage their house for the down payment.
Okay, big guy. That's pathetic that you'd actually respond if you thought that I don't even have a car. And maybe my dad could employ you, considering he owns a considerable amount of dealerships. I never said it made it faster, granpa, but it's still plenty fucking fast. The wide body kit is attractive to my generation, maybe it contrasts your favorite studebaker, though. Okay, old man, time for you to fuck off. Sorry your 401k disappeared, better luck in your next life, poor asshole.
436 hp. 3.9 to 60. 12.2 in the quarter at 117 mph. It doesnt need to be any faster. I particularly like the add ons and the z06 styling. The Grand Sport has persuaded me into getting a vette because I want the targa top and an automatic. New xpipe and catback along with different intake system and the car is well over 450 hp which is way may than anyone could ever want for a street car.
I never said it wasn't a fast car. It's simply over-ornamented to the point of being gaudy. It looks like it was designed by committee. Chevy needs to take some serious styling cues from Pininfarina, because the Vette deserves far better. It could have been a sleek, sexy, all-American brawler, but the styling lacks flow and cohesion. The Ferrari F430 and California are perfect examples of jaw-dropping beauty and lethal performance. And the Vette should have it too.
Moronic? coandcaiv, show me a car that has as much hp per dollar that can be daily driven, and then you can say Chevy was moronic for making this or any Corvette. Of course you can't, so your assertion is, well, ignorant really. The Corvette isn't just a big engine in a car- it's the total package. It can't do everything a $175k 911 turbo can do, but it comes extraordinarily close for a fraction of the cost.
Chevrolet is moronic for many reasons- the Corvette is not one of them.
how can u beat it the exterrior is sick and the interrior is sick to and you can get a base for 50 grand and it will smoke alotta cars plus now they added a z06 body to a base and you get launch control
mabe some people want a little better car than the standerd model but dont whant the extreme power of the zo6 or zr1plus GM wont ever make a other car like the ZR1 like the fiero in the 80s it just wont happen ya thay might use the engine like the cts-v but it will be tuned down like the cts-v
because 0-60 in under 4 seconds, 1G on the skidpad, and 26 highway mpg is bad perfomance? think/research before you speak/type. and when is 436 hp "low"? id be curious to see what you drive...
A lot more people buy a $50k convertible than $100k supercars. The Grand Sport performs extremely well, but you essentially get what you pay for in performance. This car looks sick, and it performs much better than most other $50k cars will perform. Learn your shit, big guy.
the GS is a C6 thats has the handling of the Z06. Learn you history. The GS has always been less powerful than the Zr1 or Zo6 models. This on trim is about handling now power.
Some people want the looks of the Z06 wide-body, but with a targa top or a convertible. Now they can have it. This just increases the range available - fills a little gap in the Corvette range. I like it and may go for one next year if I can save my pennies! :)
More $, 103 lbs heavier & slower then my 09 Z51! No thanks. I'm glad I bought the 09 & not waited for this. I've always liked the wider bodied Z06 style but not the added weight. If G.M. really wanted to do something cool, they should have took out some weight or at the very least..... added LED lighting.
I do like the new fender gills......much nicer then the ZR-1's
best vette for the money.good brakes tires.softer ride.lower price.real vettes are convertables yes?
