The latest R & T magazine shows the stats of the Boss besting the GS Vette (in the back summary section) OUCH!
Where's a Z28 when you need one.

Is that the same Vette GS that weighs 500 lb. less than a 1SS Camaro and has a hand-built dry-sump LS3?

Yeah, that's just the engine we need in a "Z/28"...

What comes after K? R? 6? _ _ _

Just went to R&T website, nothing there. I would consider these cars nearly equivalent so tires could make a big difference.

I think just knowing how really good it is would help pass the time. But I think we are still months away from the last bit of important information including price.

Yes it is the LS version, but a Mustang beating a Vette. I don't like it.

near-race tires can make a big difference. Slap a set of of the Pilot Sport Cup tires from the Z06 & ZR1 onto the Grand Sport and the result will be different

It doesn't sound like it wasn't a direct comparo, just the stats from two different test days

Boss 302 Laguna Seca

Corvette Grand Sport
