I know someone in here knows the truth. Don't want to waste money on a grandsport if its getting a facelift in 3 months?

No. The 2014 Corvette (which will debut in mid-2013) will have the new C7 body.

There is no way you could ever 'waste money' on a Grand Sport, even if a new super Vette came out an hour after you bought it.

IMO, the new GS is the best looking Vette ever....

I agree that you really can't go wrong with buying a GS now. But if you're trying to keep up with the Jones', you do need to wait almost exactly 2 years. You could buy now and trade later. A 2012 GS (if bought today) would still be worth 35-40K in good condition if you traded in for a new C7 when they came out.

Personally, I'm not going to touch the first year C7. As with every generation since the C4, the first year has either been a total let down or has had some big issues. I'll wait.

I wholeheartedly concur with this statement!

I'm curious what the final product will actually look like.

I LOVE the GS - just not sure how I feel about the gills... too flashy for me

I agree that a new GS is stunning in the looks department. Black w black wheels and red or blue brake calipers tie it all together very nice

I would buy a lightly used Z06....

IMO, idk why anyone would buy a new GS when you could get a couple year old Z06 for the same price.

To me, a Gransport is a Z06 wannabe. Great looking cars, dont get me wrong, but they just dont make sense to me.

^^^^

and if you are considering modding it down the road, I would buy a used modded one.. at least bolt-ons. you will save a lot of money this way.....

I think I'm the only one that doesn't like the look of the GS! I love the C6, but the gills and those rims in my opinion make me feel

But the Z06 and of course the ZR1...but somethin' about the GS really takes me the opposite direction.

I'm very excited to see the C7!!!!

OneBadZ0Sick

I not a huge fan of the GS either, but those LS3 hold there own if modded well. But like what was already said I would personally get a 08 Z06 (as 06-07 had some issues) as you can find them for around the same price as a new GS.

The GS is for the corvette owner who want a removeable roof, automatic and wide body looks.

I'd much rather pick up a used C6Z...

Agreed, it looks like a ZO6 but doesnt have the performance, The grand sport was always a top dog model till now I think Chevy dropped the ball.

Why automatic? The GS comes in the manual flavor too. And the manual even comes with dry-sump.

I'd say that the GS is for people who can't afford the new Z06, wants a removable top, likes the looks of the GS more and/or *MIGHT* want an automatic.

I'd rather have the Z06 because I could care less about the removable top and I drive manuals.

As stated previously, I like the GS (besides a few styling cues) because it has the targa top and wide body look. I just enjoy targa tops

^Great for airing out the 'ol

lol jk

(like I have room to talk driving a black firebird with t-tops )

I find that having the targa off and the windows up is a bad combination if you have gas.

(It just creates a tornado of fart inside the cab.)
