We got word today from Dave Salvatore of Kerbeck Corvette that pricing for the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport has been released. When the Grand Sport was introduced at the National Corvette Museum in April, Team Corvette members Harlan Charles and Tadge Juechter both said that people will be pleased when the final price is announced. Having seen the numbers, we see again why Corvette beats all sports cars in the performance per dollar category.
2010 Corvette Grand Sport Pricing:
- 2010 Grand Sport Coupe starts at $55,720 including DFC
- 2010 Grand Sport Convertible starts at $59,530 including DFC
Going off the current year pricing, that’s $6,205 more than the base Coupe and $5,360 for the base Convertible. Taking into account that we are expecting to see a pricing increase on the base coupe and convertibles, as well as the fact that the Grand Sport takes the place of the Z51 option which costs $1,695 and you are essentially looking at $3,665-4510 upgrade for the new wide-body design, complete with Z06 brakes, tuned suspension and a better 0-60 mph performance of 4.0 vs 4.2.
A quick check on some of the forums show that people are generally pleased with the pricing of the new model. Considering that most garage wide body conversions cost around $10,000, this new model should sell well.
Pricing on the Corvette models for 2010 should be forthcoming shortly which will also include pricing for the Z15 GS Heritage Package which will be available sometime in the fall.
Thanks again goes out to Dave Salvatore for supplying us with the pricing. If you are interested in ordering a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, give him a call at 877-537-2325 or visit Kerbeck Corvette.

Is that oil capacity right for manual transmission cars?
Engine oil (qt / L):
5.5 / 5.2 (automatic transmission)
10.5 / 9.9 (manual transmission)
Seems a bit excessive…
Hands down, I would have to say I’m most excited about this Corvette, I have always had a love for muscle cars. thanks for the specs.
