biggrin 2010 Grand Sport w/ 5,000+ miles - any questions?

As we are a small and growing community, I am probably one of very few 2010 Grand Sport owners here, so far.

With 5,000+ mi on my Grand Sport, I am feeling settled in,
and am firming up my opinion of the GS compared to my C6 Z51 experience (75,000+ mi).

My experiences include Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School lvl 1 and lvl 2 training,
and track time in C5 Z06s, C6 Z51s, C6 Z06s.

I am offering to field questions / comments about the Grand Sport.
I will not compare opinions with Motor Trend or Car and Driver editors that put 100 miles in a GS. I put 5,000 miles in one.

Yes, the GS weighs about 130 pounds more than the Z06.
That is about the weight of a tank of gas, or carrying a passenger.

Yes, the GS stops like a Z06 (as expected). Bad brake dusting, easy to fix.
Noticable difference from my recent Z51 which had Baer Eradispeed +2s.

No, I cannot tell the difference between 3.9, 4.0, and 4.2 seconds.
It is academic, and of little real world value.

For now, here is a thread to unload about the Grand Sport on, and to get some real world opinion.

BYOB
