LS3 is the base engine. It's already 6.2L, how much bigger do you want?

I think you must mean more powerful, torquier engine.

Sorry, yes more hp. Its 430 hp rather than 5 or 600 hp. I mean now days 400 hp is an econobox.

It's still a light car. 430 should be enough for a good fun. I remember when only the top level super cars had more than 400hp just 10 years ago...

But you know what? I agree with you. I wish this was based off the Z06 instead...

I've been wanting a convertible ZO6 for a long time. The car pictured looks very cool.

06, not O6.

And while I would normally be horrified by the notion of a Z06 Roadster, There exists a C6RS Roadster and Callaway C16 Speedsters (which looks FANTASTIC in real life), so I bet it'd be something to behold.

*The Grand Sport will come also in coupe form, I should say.

Which surely beats the point of a car named "Grand Sport", right?
