Both could be power, neither could be.

However, if they are, they should move fore/aft and up down with little more than an electric motor whine....

Well...One of the articles I just read online says that it is to fill the space between the current Z06 and the ZR1. Therefore I'd guess the price to be between 90 and 100K

I wish they would create a model to slide in between the base Vette and a Z06. The Z06 is a badass car but it's a bit much for someone that might daily drive it and the extra money you pay doesn't lower national speed limits. The base Vette is fantastic by itself but most of us would dump some money into it after purchase to modify it a little bit and make it 'better than the rest.'

If there were a model a little better than the base but not quite to Z06 status I think it would be a wonderful compromise.

I think the GrandSport fits that description. Of course it might only be a one year option.

Where is the GS priced? I thought it was priced up there near the Z06.

That blue color on the Carbon is definitely not that blue in person. It's more gray like the one Harlan is talking about in the vid. I like the blue in the promo pic too.

There are a few Guru member pics of the Carbon in the various Sebring 2010 threads.
