I've heard talk of this as well. Pretty cool. I just hope the Vette is still around in 2010

We'll get a "green" Vette. A nice 2.4L 4 cylinder that gets 40mpg. But it will look good doing it.

Anyone want to find a C6 image and do some Grand Sport photochopping just to see what a modern rendition would look like? Don't forget the black rims.

Well, that's the thing isn't it? As nice as the GT1 Championship Edition looks, it's stickers & paint. At least the Competition Sport has some performance stuff. To use the Grand Sport name, the car should be very,very special. One can only hope. I can remember anticipating the new GTO which turned into a 4 door grocery getter. |

Might be, I took a look at the GTO when it came out and was disgusted. 2 or 4, it's still a Holden. |

Say what you will. I'd take a Cadillac CTS-V any day!
I used to do commercials for a Caddy dealer. My buddy there let me drive one with a 6 speed. Man, that was nice! I scared him a little... |

I have this video game for my PS3 called Midnight Club Los Angeles. You can design paint, vinyl, interior and exterior colors, wheels brakes and such. Here is what I came up with. Note red guts!

I'm a huge fan of the C6 Z51 and the Z06.
Although the fender gills and the badge is somewhat goofy on this new GS, I love the hybridization of the two cars at a lower price. I was also a little disapointed by the numbers that are planned to be produced, as this will do away with the Z51 option on the standard coupe. I would love to own one anyway! |

More importantly, easier to weld a cage in. Also, the GS is supposed to have a true Dry Sump oil system, whereas the Z06 has a sort of hybrid. I'm not sure of the difference, this is all the info I heard. |

Still not a fan of the gills, but the idea of the wide body without the Z06 price tag is nice.
I very much prefer the flared fenders over the stock C6 body. But I have no real need of the extra performance in the real world. How long before I can pick one up for $25k? |
