2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

The legend of the Grand Sport started in secret. Famed Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov sensed the threat of the Shelby Cobra and wanted to create a lightweight version of the Corvette to rival it. The result was one of the most coveted 'Vettes on the planet. Duntov created a unique “birdcage” body frame, wrapped it in thinner aluminum, and put in a 550-horsepower 377 cubic inch V8. Once GM brass caught wind of the program, they shut it down. Of the 125 planned cars, only five were built. They were briefly raced, with one even winning at Watkins Glen in 1963.

For consignment a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport that is bathed in the “it “ color just like the 5 cars that raced in times of yore. This car has low miles, (18,492), and remains in showroom condition.

Exterior
2011 was a year in which the C5 design was looking more and more European sculpted by the wind and not a computer. Excellent fiberglass is all bathed in Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat and the paint just sings on this machine. No hidden headlights, a throwback to the originals with the Corvette Shark gilled cove, and rear greenhouse glass along with the iconic round taillights deeply inset onto the neoprene tall rear bumper. 4 exhaust pipes peek out the rear roll pan and are centered in the bottom of the rear. Interestingly this version does not have the hash marks on the front quarters. 18-inch polished wheels are upfront and 19 inch is reserved for the backs.

Interior
Stepping inside away from the Jetstream Blue exterior, we can calm down our eyes a bit with some tasteful black upper and gray lower door panels with a nicely molded armrest. The light gray leather buckets hold you in the car nicely, and a center compel also in black and gray races from the middle of the seats. A nicely curved design dash has all the essentials for creature comforts and vitals monitoring. A pop for the rear greenhouse glass reveals a nice storage area covered in like new charcoal carpeting.

Drivetrain
With this version we have the 6.3 liter LS3 V8 with EFI and its rated at 430hp. On back is a 6L80E 6-speed automatic paddle shifter optioned with a rear axle of 2.56. Noted a brand new Borla exhaust has been put on.

Undercarriage
Simply put, showroom underneath. New ceramic brakes and rotors along with monster sized rubber are seen and cast aluminum C5 suspension keeps the rubber on the road.

Drive-Ability
Clean and mean for this machine which fires right up and runs like the wind. Needless to say, it not only looks perfect but runs like that too!

A showpiece in showroom condition ready to go and show. Excellent amazing paint, tasteful interior, and low miles I see a 2011 Grand Sport in someone's future. Feel the vibe!
