I'm wondering what will be the difference in the GS from the Z06.

I disagree...but we shall see...

I've been saying GM is only going to build the LT1 and LT4. People tell me I'm wrong, and I hope I am, but there is nothing to prove GM is building something else. The GS was the best chance we had at a new LTx and it didn't get one.

I think there's fair chance of "something else". I've never known them to stop short so quickly.

...I just think context clues, emissions laws, and some statements by company people seem to indicate there will be no LS7 replacement. (ie N/A big displacement)...which is truly a loss.

I agree that there won't be a 7.0 LTx. The only engine that makes sense is an LT6, and the GS was the best chance of that happening. GM doesn't upgrade it's engines. They keep them at the same power output until they are replaced. To get more power, they add displacement or forced induction, except this time, GM skipped all the added displacement and already put on the blower.

The front fenders don't appear to be from the Z06.

What are the actual differences between the GS and the Z06? Is it truly an NA Z06?

LT1 vs LT4 would be the main difference. Z07 package can be added to GS as well.

Vette version of the 1LE.

Another good read...

Wouldn't the Vette version of the 1LE be the Z51?

Would the base GS be any faster than the Z51? It's likely to be heavier and have more drag from the aero. Plus, it looks like the lateral grip is pretty similar between the two. It seems like you would have to jump to the GS Z07 to get any real benefit.

Thanks. I'd really like to see exactly what besides the engine is different between the GS/Z07 and Z06/Z07.

GM stated that the GS(I assume GS/Z07) was .6 seconds behind the C6 ZR1 at Milford. Pretty impressive!

Well the GS/Z07 should be very fast with the Cup 2s, CCBs and aero upgrades. I'm talking about the base GS.

I think this will be the best well rounded corvette GM has ever made . I also think it will be there best shot at winning Motor Trends Best Driver Car also .

1leNPP · 03-02-2016, 05:03 PM

There a lot of new cars out there now I like to buy, but my 1LE has been such a great car and with the price I pay for the car I just can not bring my self to selling it . That coming from a ford guy to .
