This particular Corvette proved to be a fascinating piece for review, not because we have any lack of experience with the current generation of the near-supercar, but because of the configuration. The Grand Sport is in the middle of the Corvette range (some might say “sweet spot”), with a 430-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8, the really great magnetically adjustable shocks, and a cool body kit. In the case of our specific vehicle, the fun factor was upped with the convertible top, 60th Anniversary package (which makes the Vette a dead-ringer for the 2013 Corvette 427), and (sigh) an automatic transmission.
