The Grand Sport has long occupied a special place in Corvette
history, combining aggressive styling and upgraded chassis hardware
with the everyday usability of Chevrolet's legendary sports car.
This 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible 3LT is an
exceptional example showing only 4,989 original miles since new.
Finished in striking Supersonic Blue Metallic with a Gray
power-folding convertible top and Titanium Gray two-tone leather
interior, it combines exceptionally low mileage with a six-speed
manual transmission, desirable 3LT equipment, and the Z16 Grand
Sport Performance Package.
Power comes from Chevrolet's 6.2-liter LS3 V8 paired with a
six-speed manual transmission and short-throw shifter. The
combination delivers the immediate throttle response, strong
naturally aspirated performance, and hands-on driving experience
enthusiasts expect from a proper Corvette. Launch Control adds
another performance-oriented feature, while a 3.42 limited-slip
rear differential helps put the power to the pavement. The factory
Dual-Mode Performance Exhaust provides a more aggressive V8 sound
when called upon while remaining comfortable during normal
cruising.
The Z16 Grand Sport Performance Package gives this Corvette
considerably more capability and visual presence than a standard
C6. Grand Sport-specific wide-body styling accommodates staggered
18x9.5-inch front and 19x12-inch rear wheels, finished here in
desirable chrome aluminum. Massive 275/35ZR18 front and 325/30ZR19
rear tires provide an unmistakably purposeful stance.
Braking performance was also significantly upgraded with six-piston
front and four-piston rear calipers clamping cross-drilled rotors.
Combined with four-wheel power disc brakes, ABS, Active Handling,
and traction control, the Grand Sport delivers the balance of
acceleration, handling, and braking that made these cars such
outstanding performers.
Supersonic Blue Metallic is an especially attractive color on the
wide-body Grand Sport and contrasts beautifully with the Gray power
convertible top. The Grand Sport Heritage Package adds further
distinction, while Xenon HID headlamps, fog lamps, and heated
power-adjustable mirrors provide both style and functionality. With
the top lowered, the car delivers the open-air experience of a
classic Corvette roadster while retaining the performance
capability of the Grand Sport platform.
Inside, the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group provides a considerably
more luxurious environment than a basic performance car. Titanium
Gray two-tone perforated leather covers the sport bucket seats,
with six-way power adjustment for both driver and passenger, heated
seating, adjustable lumbar support, and power side bolsters. Driver
memory, a power telescoping steering column, and a leather-wrapped
steering wheel with audio controls allow the cockpit to be tailored
to the driver.
One of the highlights is the Head-Up Display, projecting important
vehicle information directly into the driver's line of sight.
Dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless access with
push-button start, cruise control, power windows and locks, and a
Universal Home Remote further add to the car's everyday
convenience.
Entertainment and technology include a Bose premium seven-speaker
sound system, factory touch-screen navigation, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio,
Bluetooth connectivity, and XM Satellite Radio. These features make
this Grand Sport equally comfortable on a long highway trip or an
afternoon spent exploring winding back roads.
With an original retail price of $73,385, this Corvette was very
well equipped when new, but its exceptionally low mileage is what
truly separates it today. At only 4,989 original miles and backed
by a clean CARFAX, it represents the kind of carefully preserved C6
that has become increasingly difficult to find.
Combining Supersonic Blue Metallic, a six-speed manual
transmission, LS3 V8 power, the Z16 Grand Sport Performance
Package, 3LT luxury equipment, and fewer than 5,000 original miles,
this 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible is an
outstanding modern collectible. It offers serious performance,
open-air driving, and exceptional preservation in a configuration
that is ready to be shown, driven, and enjoyed.
