It's about time you put on some C6 content. Tired of the C8 content.

[@MrSolara7]

I totally agree 👍

[@markkutsy]

Rob is a walking Corvette encyclopedia…it’s AMAZING to watch him spit out facts and not miss a beat!!! Im sure Corvette World is blessed to have him represent their company. Great Job Mike in always capturing Rob’s good side (which is every side)

Bought a ‘13 Grand Sport Coupe on Saturday. only 52,000 miles and was garage kept. Couldn’t be happier

[@garybaugh8302]

Looking at 1 myself. $36k 45k miles GS 4LT Thoughts?

[@JohnDoe-np3xd]

@@garybaugh8302pretty good deal, jump on it!

[@wkeil1981]

Enjoy

[@SuperChipperson]

Bought my 2011 GS on Memorial Day weekend 3 years ago and just love it! Came with aftermarket supercharger and puts down 498 WHP and 493 torque's on the chassis dyno. Still want to get some long tube headers and medium cam.

[@clark-n-anitakalens7599]

Thanks Mike and special thanks to Robert for the production numbers of the 60th !!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

You’re welcome 😊

I enjoyed Robert's facts and figures on these Anniversary Editions. My favorite is the Limited fully optioned 427 Convertible. What is/was unique about it is that the convertible top had the stripes dyed or woven into it. If I had one, I'd see if I could order one from GM to just have on hand. If something should happen to one's original top, I don't know if a custom upholsterer could even make one. I did test drive the 427 convertible and was not impressed with performance. Probably because of the extra weight required by the convertible's mechanism. The coupe is definitely faster, but more times than, it's not how fast you get from Point A to Point B, but how you look doing it. 😁 I do like the ZO6 Coupe that CW has. Save the Wave 👋

[@BrisLS1]

I love that 427 Convertible. At the time it came out, it was the best thing America ever produced in my opinion. The combination of power and class. But you really have to put yourself in that year and look what else you could get. Yes, the ZR-1 existed and had more power, but I just hate that hood, and it's not really different in look from the C6Z hard top. If you look around at cars from the period, maybe some stuff was as fast, but not with a drop-top. The 911 Turbo was literally twice the price, so that doesn't count. Oh well. Then we had the valve drop scandal, and new models came out, etc.. Thanks.

Purchased used in 2015 a '13 427 convertible 60th anniversary in black with tan interior. 😍 Loved the torque & deeper sound of the LS7 motor. I believe the brochure said the hood & front fenders were CF. Also the 427 convertible had a steel frame vs the Z06 aluminum frame, approximately 200lbs. lighter. Ended up trading for a '17 Z06. In a perfect world, would keep both. 😊

[@rinaldocarratala8668]

Great information. Should do more of these. Thank you.

[@JonSpence-dt4qr]

Bought 13 GS anniversary last year. LUV IT ! ❤

[@motorsportguy]

Great video! Highlighting stuff only us crazy car folks care about, thanks!

[@RK-kj8di]

I used to own a 2013 Grand Sport with the 60th anniversary package. Very fun, reliable car.

[@andrewe4277]

I own a 2013 60th Anniversary Grand Sport with 26k miles. A really great car to drive, and hope to keep it for many years.

[@RussellMasa]

Great info but you forgot one of the most important differences… the aluminum chassis of the Z06 vs the steel for the GS. Thanks

[@Echo7delta]

As alway Rob is the man when it comes to Corvette Stat's!!! Another very enjoyable video keep them coming !! Lastly will I see you both at Corvettes at Carlisle ??

[@danielstreet4207]

Yes how Hey, 2012 glance voice convertible. With 19 by tunes and a front and 20 by 12 in the real. With the wheel side I really enjoy my Graham sport red and black

[@jameswetz3396]

Robert My head is exploding! You da man😊 I’m enjoying the baby blue C8 you sold me. Still finding carbon fiber trim I never noticed before! Jim W

[@joemanresa9023]

Wow 2 beautiful Vettes.

[@pilotgirl5953]

Awe thanks Mike. It’s the info I needed !! Thx for posting this !

[@BrinkofSpeed]

You’re very welcome 😊

[@thomasspinks692]

Love my 08 z06 sold a 13 ZL1 to get the zo6 with 15k miles

[@stevebrown6175]

I had a choice between a C6 Z06 and C6 GS manual and newer. I took the Z06. Owned it for 2 years and had the heads done….twice before selling it when the oil pressure started to decrease. I’m pretty confident if I had chosen GS, I would still own it. Too many engineering compromises with the LS7.

[@randyshultz2079]

I love my 60th Anniversary Grand Sport with a manual. Don't love my wrinkled leather dash though. I wonder how many of the Anniversary Grand Sports came with a manual. I just turned 40k miles and look forward to the next 60k miles.

[@mikekrueger8989]

Same! I too have a 60th GS / Anniversary package. Mine has 19k miles and too has a wrinkled dash. Starting to explore options to repair but not in a hurry. Either pulling the dash or windshield. No fun.

[@patrikrisedal]

i have done the same opertion on my 427, i took the windsheild out. Easiest option@@mikekrueger8989

[@garybaugh8302]

Looking at 13 GS 60th anniversary 4lt manual 45k miles for $36k thoughts?

[@wallyr.7854]

In my humble opinion, “all” generations should have kept the round taillights, it’s classic Corvette 👍🏻

[@terrymertz1923]

I think the rpo for the hood was b92 . My carbon had it and the underside was unpainted which was a nice touch.

[@chopdogrulz1337]

Dude! I was looking at these same two cars on Corvette World website yesterday 😱

[@Jase_60th]

Awesome video Mike! I own a 60th GS convertible fully optioned.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Very nice, they are amazing cars for sure!

[@andrewe4277]

I own a 2013 60th Anniversary Grand Sport Coupe

[@nrdemon1031]

Such an awesome car!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Yeppers

[@richardholman1203]

Very cool. A big thumbs up.

[@alexanderkurumidi926]

Thank you guys!

[@josephfamularo469]

I’d love to rack Roberts brain about my 2011 Z07 equipped C6z.

[@michaeljordan6008]

Much better looking than any C8. These tail lights kill.

[@paulstamour926]

I would love to see a competition of who knows more about Corvette. Rob or Rick Conti

[@55rhill]

It’s Rob by a mile. Conti is a regular salesman, no expert.

[@robertdarling4190]

I have a 427 convertible 3LZ

[@warrenseale8486]

Here is a description of the 427 60th just to add another comparison. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpKWmmd4jp15aKs

[@mirandadeel2702]

❤Thank you for sharing the beautiful cars God bless you

[@victorjohnson2093]

Great Looking Car

[@jerrymiller2891]

That z06 is sick. The grandsports side gills are hideous to me

[@robertdarling4190]

My understanding is that from a performance stand point there is no difference between the 427 Convertible and the Z06. Is that true?

[@C58B]

What’s better to make power I don’t need looks

[@kerry_glock]

Must have NPP IMO! I’d like to have had a 427.

[@70cent64]

Hello just wondering if you’re going to make any more Camaro content?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Hey there, you betcha 😊

[@wayneC7]

Who won?

[@intimidator.jb3470]

Too bad you don't have the 60th Anniversary 427 convertible!!!

[@harpella]

What's so hard. It looks and handles like a Z06. End statement.

[@cbttrainee5961]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@jeffreyfisher6723]

I own 2013 60th Grand Sport. 6 speed. I don't talk about that 6 speed is a Dry Sump and the Automatic are normal Wet Sump. Also the 6 speed is coming from the Factory is 450 Hp . The Automatic is 426 Hp . I know for sure because I as President of a Corvette Club. I test at my local Dyno.

[@trobertson1825]

This was confusing

[@p0tent49]

The front of the C6 is so awkward looking.... it's never looked right to me. Worst looking front end of any Corvette.

[@ccubsfan94]

I think they look good, not in white though. I think the body matched headlights look goofy too

[@BornToBeFamed]

Its the headlights... They need an update thats really what it is.

[@wkeil1981]

Damn really? It’s better than c7 front end to me.

[@jamieeads431]

I have a 2010 Grand Sport convertible with 5000 miles. Black Betty is a Beautiful car. I’ll take it over ZO6 any day
