To say the GS is a z06 with an ls3 motor is way off though. There is still a huge difference.

It has the z06 suspension and interior is practically the same. I"m trying to check a Corvette forum right now

A GS is just that, a Z06 imposter. From 250 feet out you think "427, Go USA!" untill you see its not. Then you think "LS3, Canada made is okay I guess".

When you fill up at the gas station, 4 out of 5 common people will say "oh sick a Z06!".... Then you will go into this grand sport schpeal you will repeat 4 times a week, just like a person with a weird ass sounding name has to do their whole life because people can't say it/spell it.

Just get a Z06 not a Z06 "hold-the-beef" edition because you got a deal on it, IMO.

Best of luck...

I started checking around and I'm seeing used 2009 Z06's for about the same price. So I think that actually might be the better option

The Gran Sport is basically a Z06 with an LS3 in it....I'd do that in a heartbeat.

isn't the gran sport heavier....i thought it had the standard steel frame instead of the aluminum one.

GS has steel frame. Does not have the same suspension but does have better than stock. GS does not have the magnesium engine cradle. Big difference between ls3 and ls7 motor. GS does not have carbon fiber fenders. GS does not have the z06 rear end (much much stronger), or the z06 transmission (different ratios, spline count).

Just checked out a 2008 Blue Z06 w/ Hurricane intake and Corsa exhaust.... OMG does it sound amazing. 58k(CDN) for it, not a bad price at all..

Well I must be one of the lucky guys! I have both the 2007 Z06 and the 2011 SGM Camaro. Soo I think that is my choice! The two cars are so different so it maes a comparrison hard. Love both cars in a different way!

tsears · 08-25-2011, 09:17 AM

Camaro < GS < Z06.

Anything else < ZR-1
