If a 460 hp C7 GS is within 0.5 seconds of the C6 ZR1 around that track (Milford?), consider what it would do with ~15% more power.



Of course, the issue (as always) is cost. To do a Grand Sport otherwise the same as they did plus a brand new 'LT6' type engine (akin to the C6 Z06's LS6) would cost thousands more. To hit the same price point they're aiming for with an 'LT6' included, it means sacrificing other go fast equipment -possibly to where its basically just a more powerful Stingray.
