What's different is the Grand Sport has a standard corvette engine which makes it 200lbs lighter and not as front heavy. The GS has a different tune on the GS giving it +5HP/+10lb tq. But feels a lot different from the stingray based on how it's geared as well. So it feels like a naturally aspirated Z06 instead of a Stingray.

It's a better balanced car for the track and it's --$13,000 cheaper than a Z06.

All this I wrote are in the posted articles. Consider this post for you a early birthday gift.

It's not a tune that gives it the extra power. The motor and tune are the exact same as the standard stingray. The difference is the GS comes standard with the NPP exhaust. HP on the GS vs a stingray with NPP option equals the same HP rating.

You are right about the gearing though, which does improve butt dyno feel as well as track numbers.[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't changing gears on a transmission be considered a tune?
