Who cares. 2011, all the corvettes worth buying are Grand Sport and higher model variations. The geezers can keep their base auto convertibles.

Do you mean the Z06 body panels? I mean all the body panels are GM parts...
Actually I kind of prefer the sides of the base Vette. It looks cleaner and faster too me. All are good looking.

The base 6spd with mag suspension is reported to be a great driving car and it's not like any C6 is slow. Still, the one I would have wanted, the Z-51 package is sadly no more.

I'm just not digging the looks of the GS which is part of why I miss the Z-51. Now mind you we are talking small differences here if all else were equal I would prefer the Z-51 on looks. The GS did take the Z-51 package up a notch with respect to brakes etc.

Z51 has been replaced by the GS. Which honestly is a more appealing setup than either base or z06 corvettes.
GS is the best model to get imo.
