well, i've only seen this 'grandsport' once so far, and took about 5 shots of it, and picked the 2 that worked the best.
of course, i may run into another any given day... they arent for sale yet, and i dont think corvetteconti has them on the dealer lot in ohio.

Rick created the C6 GS as a one off special. I will try dig up the photoshoot photos he posted at one time.

Heck - I'll just ask him . ..

Tuesday, August 23, 2005 2008 Corvette rumors Posted Aug 23, 2005, 4:00 PM ET by Eric Bryant Related entries: Sports/GTs, Spy Photos Unsubstantiated rumors (the kind that are the most fun) have it that GM will introduce two new engines for the Corvette in 2008. Both will have a displacement of 6.2L, with a naturally-aspirated version producing 450 HP and a supercharged version making a robust 600 HP. Does this mean that the Blue Devil won’t get a supercharged 7.0L LS7? The use of less displacement for more strength would follow the trend established by GM with the forced-induction versions of the Ecotec and Northstar. Now, what about the Vette in the spy pics? Some have claimed it’s a targa-roof version of the Z06, but it lacks some of that model’s scoops and extractors. More likely, it’s a new mid-level variant that would sit between the base Vette and the Z06, or it could be a mid-cycle revision. [Hat tip: Digital Corvettes]

it seems it took the world a little longer then i expected, but this guy has some of the story plain wrong; no matter (time to mail him to give me my tip for the images )
looks like Rick from Conti-corvette is taking more credit then what is due

Great to see the net talking about this. I was lucky enough to have the direct source pass the info to me, in which you are reading now.... as he gives me more I will continue to update the thread on DC as well as in Vette News of my personal site www.corvetteconti.com Thumbs up guys, some great things are here and more to come, Rick
