the Grand Sport feels far less suicidal; the burlier Vette's larger
tires and instantly responding, slop-free brakes seem to suit this
new model perfectly. Car and Driver, August 2009 The strongest
selling point of the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport? Car and Driver saw
it this way: Two seconds-that's the most important figure to know
when you're considering the credentials of the new, 2010 Corvette
Grand Sport. Those two ticks represent how much quicker the latest
track-fortified Vette is around the hairy 2.9-mile road course at
GM's Milford proving grounds than was last year's model with the
Z51 handling package. That's a huge gain, one that bites off more
than half the Z06's time advantage over the base Vette.... That
gain was planned: As for the mechanicals, the Grand Sport keeps the
base car's 430-hp LS3 V-8 (436 hp with the optional exhaust) and
steel frame but gets lots of Z06 bits, including its much larger
tires (275/35-18s in front and 325/30-19s in back), wider track,
cross-drilled brake rotors (14.0-inch fronts and 13.4-inch rears),
and visual add-ons (front air inlet, bulging fenders, and rear
brake-cooling ducts) that go more than skin deep, as they reduce
aerodynamic lift by half. With 0-60 times of between 4 and 4.2
seconds, the Grand Sport is serious business. The 2010 Corvette
Grand Sport Coupe offered here is a standout example, able to
satisfy collector or driving enthusiast... or both. Standout as in:
A car with fewer than 1,500 miles per year since new (12,000 miles
in all), full documentation including the car's original window
sticker and highly valued build sheet, tasteful performance and
appearance upgrades, optional tintcoat exterior color... and the
fact that it's one of only 3,707 Gran Sport coupes made in 2010.
The condition of the car is outstanding in every respect. Some
highlights: The Crystal Red Metallic tintcoat paint-an $850
option-is virtually flawless across the entire car. Together with
the striking chromed aluminum 5-spoke wheels-another option, this
one adding nearly $2,000 to the sticker price-attracts admirers at
every stop. All glass and lighting lenses are without flaw. The
tasteful Gran Sport badging above the brake vents lets those
admirers know this is a special car. The car's 1-inch lowered
stance and perfectly integrated custom front-end only reinforce
that impression. Step over the Grand Sport-badged door sills, and
the interior welcomes driver and passenger with ample Cashmere
leather surfaces; black, driver-focused analog instrumentation;
leather-surrounded automatic transmission shifter on the black
center console; high-back bucket seats with Corvette-crossed-flags
embroidery; embroidered-logo carpet mats; and two tasteful Gran
Sport red stripes stitched into the center armrest. Every interior
surface shows virtually new condition as further evidence of the
collector care and low mileage. Under the hood, the 6.2-liter,
436-horsepower LS-3 Corvette-branded V8 dominates a clean, tidy,
and somewhat menacing-looking engine bay. The carbon-fiber
air-intake cover only adds to that impression. Again, every surface
is pristine. Beneath the car, the chassis shows similar, near
spotless conditio
