Chevrolet Corvette (C6) 2005-2013

[NSXType-R]

I thought the Grand Sport was supposed to be a hi-po version of the Corvette, sort of a Z06 of sorts. Guess the model means differently now.

C5 and C6 are different generations of Corvettes, and C6R is the race version. In any case the Corvette is still quite far from special edition masters like the Mustang.

Or the Bugatti Veyron.

should've known that! i feel like such an idiot! i'm one of those 'Vette fanatics and didn't know that the C5 and C6 were of different generations ( very pathetic on my part! ). oh yeah, i just consider certian models of the same car " trims ".

Z06 and Grand Sport are sort of trim levels, but the ZR1 is practically a different model, like the Shelby GT500 is to the Mustang.

a trim level is a 150.000 € bump in price for a different paint scheme, not a larger engine, better specs, and other goodies.

I think you've gone a bit too far with the 150 grand figure...

Not as impressive as the 1996 Grand Sport. That car looked great, and has perhaps my favorite ever wheel design.

To use the GS moniker, they should at least have bumped the power to say, 460ish.

No, I think you misunderstood him. The Z06 and the GT500 are higher performance versions of the same car, so much that they're practically different cars altogether.

And although they have about the same power, I don't think a GT500 is a real competitor to the Z06- the Ford seems to be a crappier car altogether.

They aren't even in the same league. Exagerating, the Shebly is a fast saloon and the Z06 a purpose built sportscar.

I meant same car as in their own respective models, btw.

I know. I didn't want to put down the Ford so hard.

ohhhh... i feel like an idiot sometimes. like it how you said the Ford is " a crappier car altogether ".

It's okay.

I never liked Ford, or any American cars for that matter.

The sports cars are different though. Pretty much everything but the sports cars suck- the main reason why they're in such big trouble today.

i do find that the The Big 3 worship their sports cars way too much, such as the Corvette, Challenger, Mustang, Charger, GT(40), Viper, and so on and so forth. they give it too much hype by saying that it will beat this car or that car. or maybe all car companies worship their sports cars too much, i donno.

Well they are their halo cars, the cars that drag people into showrooms and while they might not be hot sellers they help selling other more mundane cars in the lineup. So it's normal that car manufacturers care about them.
