Overview
The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in just one trim, with a base MSRP of $55,045. For that price, it mainly competes with the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E550 Coupe, and the Ford Mustang Boss 302 Coupe which has the lowest price tag among the bunch. Between one trim, the Corvette Grand Sport offers a single powertrain. The base engine is a 6.2L V8 engine capable of making 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, the same engine also makes 436 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque with the dual-mode exhaust. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission by default but a 6-speed automatic transmission is available as well. The Corvette Grand Sport reaches 60 mph from zero in 3.9 seconds with the standard transmission. Depending on the transmission, the Corvette Grand Sport can manage a combined fuel economy between 18 and 19 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the Corvette Grand Sport comes in really pull you towards itself.
