First Test: 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Video

[@FrostedCold]

That engine makes a wonderful noise.

[@IshtiaqAlam]

this guy knows what he is talking about.

[@Provenblueprint]

i love the eco boost engine in the corvette

[@gweggorz]

I'm not a Chevy man in anyway, but I think the Corvette is without a doubt the best car they make and probably helps keep them alive.

[@chromebomb]

2:28 white with black looks very good

[@scribklu]

The rear quarters are identical to the Z06 even for the convertible. People have been making their C6's widebodies using Z06 parts for a long time.

[@JoeyJackson10]

This would be the only car i would own that GMC made. Im a Ford type a guy, but i love this car.

[@snowysnowcones]

Good video

[@Blackcuda]

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!

[@kkpisa]

@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

[@BlazingCheerio]

kick ass looking car

[@Elmo187]

um no. why would think that? it has more power than the base Corvette 1LT, tuned suspension, and is COVERED in heritage. its a revival of the original Grand Sport, which is praised as the greatest Corvette ever built.

[@Blueball0120]

@Brendon00000 Thats because its the best model of the grand sport. For $10,000 more you can get the Z06. The Base model is $56,000-$65,000.

[@Dreadzedan]

I really like how good corvette has gotten and is getting, keep it up.

[@BlackTransAmdude]

wow nice i like that white one great car

[@gixxxer1000]

That dude had too many gallons of coffee, jeez!

[@Elmo187]

did you not watch the video at all? he said it looks like a Z06 in and out, but the underpinnings and everything else is a regular Corvette with an LS3 instead of the LS7.

[@JoeBird76]

Lol you gotta good name too. I own a Corvette and Camaro. Good man...Good man.

[@jamesjdm]

actually this isn't a different version in the sense that you mean it. if you PAID attention this is an option package that REPLACES the Z51 sports package. so it is not a sperate car but a series of options that can be placed on the standard corvette. instead of callng it a Z51 equipped vette it will now be the grand sport...which if you knew anything about vettes would know that name holds a ton of meaning in vette racing.

[@JoeBird76]

Good man...Good man.

[@mrRonRon]

i know what i want for christmas now...

[@rocknrollman1234]

These gs models look really badass, but I thought the presenter was a bit over excited about them.

[@frostbytey]

@TheDodgeChallenger ermmm? Pontiac GTO is just a re-badged NZ car... we'll start there :)

[@Camaros5678]

Thank you ;) gotta love them Corvette's gimme morning wood every time i hear one start up

[@Flabernat]

Now THAT'S a Corvette! What a great idea, if I had money for a brand new sports car I'd have a Grand Sport... :)

[@LMBC6Brian]

FUCK, ofcourse this car would come out with everything I wanted on my C6. Now that I got rid of my C6 and got a GT500, I cant afford to go back.

[@heartboy86]

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

[@AlternativeUses]

contrast needs to be adjusted in the video

[@boo1086]

no its sales bro... it comes with alot of parts from the zo6 right.. but with the ls3 and its 20k less.. well people like me see that as an opportunity for gm.. ppl start buying these spend less then 5k and you have a car that will kill the zo6 with money to spare on extras

[@SupramanTRD]

I priced the grand sport out at $77,000, then I saw a $12,000 discount, $65,000 i want one

[@vendediesel]

AMG = Race Start, Corvette = Launch control

[@thebonefish]

Retooled with existing parts? So this has a steering wheel from a Cobalt rather than a Malibu? Maybe some Saturn Ion seats ;-)

[@JohnRTonk]

@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.

[@TheHm3]

Why had GM killed the Gran Sport, this is suppose to be better than the Zr1! This was the top Corvette back in c4!

[@wfangnxd117]

They need to do the Royal Blue with white racing stripe, or it aint no grand sport

[@marktech101]

Yeah. I mean, the Camaro SS is what, 30-40k? Might be able to supercharge for 10k on top of that, and still be cheaper than the vette. Personally I like the camaro's looks but I'm going to wait for the convertible model.

[@frostbytey]

@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.

[@marktech101]

It's starting to look more and more like a Viper. I'd still prefer the Camero SS.

[@s10eagles]

This guy sounds and looks like Steve Carell from the office

[@SupramanTRD]

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

[@Hanson586]

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.

[@MaxwellReviresco]

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!?

[@deekay2]

Also, the annoying goofy-a** music that is playing from about 2:40 till the end of the video matches the commentator perfectly.

[@coolerdude44]

yes, but you wouldn't want it, the automatics in the corvette and cts-v are woefully dim-witted with the paddles. flick it for an up-change, and you wait more than a second for it to happen. the only people who would buy an auto corvette are hertz. buy it with a manual.

[@BlazingCheerio]

id be happy with this or the camaro z/28.

[@Gilbertmk2]

i know you were talking to eeeen321

[@crimbokelly]

@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.

[@psychoclown420]

So, it's somewhere between a convertible and a z06 but converts? btw, is that a solid-roof convertible, if so then i'm happy, i never liked that cloth look on high performance cars (or any other for that matter)

[@818silencer818]

Way to go GM....Chevrolet C6, Z06, Grand Sport, ZR1....Way to go keep on making more versions of the same fucking car. Going back to the way you used to be a bunch of the same version of the same cars.

[@Elmo187]

wrong, there is no hardtop convertible. its just cloth. what he saw there was a Grand Sport Coupe.

[@CeeStyleDj]

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!

[@FLJAMESFL]

Cool, just one of the great American cars still left. Nice job GM.

[@Dreadwin69]

go vette!

[@CoolBlueZR1]

Awesome!

[@amer1cancer2753]

Does this car offer an automatic for this package?

[@stiqman]

Frank Markus = Soupy Sales

[@rokorn007]

@gixxxer1000 HAHA! He sounds like Steve Carell!!!

[@koukicrisp]

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.

[@Slayer553826]

deeper a n deeper and n and n and ta ta ta ta traction control, Elmer Fud....

[@Weazell]

wtf does this car have to do with a bugatti veyron?

[@twenty514]

he looks like Steve Carrell lol

[@ReGGaEToNFLoW88]

ok thx i watched it without sound :)

[@Blueball0120]

@camaroman101 Down below. Why did you say Chinese cars suck when the person you commented on said nothing about that.

[@route66rocks]

where is the test

[@ReGGaEToNFLoW88]

its a Z06 Convertible right?

[@camaroman101]

@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.

[@boogalice]

haha, not as bad as the old ones...

[@sspope]

I'd wait for the upcoming Mercedes SLK instead.

[@markmarshall39]

then it would sound like a ferrari or something in that category, we like v-8 rumble, not weed eater wine!!

[@Silver6533]

The camera can't keep up with his mouth! xD

[@deekay2]

How the hell is standing next to a car and talking fast considered a "first test"??

[@JoeyJackson10]

I ment GM. Sorry.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

With performance like this there's nothing wrong with its look that some fender stripes can't fix

[@AviationDirection]

@s10eagles Now that you mention it, I agree! HAHA

[@Camaros5678]

yea someday i plan on owning a Corvette LS2 ;)

[@ChuckBeefOG]

He takes spit shine literally.

[@ajeemama]

is it just me or is the video not coordinated with the sound

[@marktech101]

Supercharged? Sure it would.

[@whitebrad25]

lol, he reminds me of steve from the office...

[@bezzle67]

I said quicker, not faster. The corvette would still beat it around a track

[@tc16169]

Could they have found worse music to play in the background? lol

[@boogalice]

They do it better, but hey...this is Motor Trend...not TG...

[@DKTheArcadeRat]

T-T-T-Today junior!

[@frmc1473]

its all about recycling isnt it

[@PimpNikka]

One o the teachers in my school has this car :|

[@champ1193]

no idea what the hell all that engine crap was

[@bezzle67]

u can't beat the zr1 with a metal body

[@HighJacker99]

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. I CANT KEEP UP

[@sns512]

Actually, it can easily be had for 42.5k

[@1flynlow]

is it a requirement to have grey hair before owning a new corvette? cause it sure seems that way...

[@Travide]

lol hes probably excited lol

[@taypuc31]

Entry level vette is actually only 49k

[@Camaros5678]

but dude itsa vette!

[@die4race]

this 2010 ?? it looks so 90'eeeesh :/ , even though i like vettes

[@Transam941]

ok???

[@gyro231995]

Talk fast enough?

[@jamesjdm]

not sure who brought up the failyron I mean veyron but as a track car that beast sucks balls. this vette would eat a veyron in a REAL race, meaning one with turns where the weight of the veryon make sit a poor performance car.

[@MeatballYaro2]

HEY EVERYONE! mark all of Georgenfla's comments as spam. maybe he'll get deleted!!!!!!

[@818silencer818]

Screw the meaning? This is how their using out tax money.

[@ilovecats748]

@MrFrozenCanuck lol
