That corvette Grand sport is goldilocks.
NA engine, wider track and all the go-fast lightweight carbon and ceramic brakes, lighter without the supercharger & associated cooling-plumbing, and cheaper than z06. We could also assume no overheating issues on track like it's steroidal brother?
Very tasty.. only thing missing is that gt350 sound but I'm thinking that's a good compromise when you take the lower CoG and weight no?

991.2 S vs Grand Sport
"This is the best-driving Corvette yet built.
“You genuinely have to recalibrate your driving for it,” Jason Cammisa says. “You can’t use all of this grip on the road, because in most circumstances the limiting factor isn’t grip. It’s your sight-lines. The mid-corner steering response is unbelievable. There is no understeer.” Jonny Lieberman calls it “borderline magic.”
"They may have entirely different personalities, but few cars are so closely matched, their strengths and weaknesses so balanced, performance equals on the street and nearly so on the track. It’s the toughest decision we’ve made in a long time. But when the question is asked, “Which is the better sports car?” the answer is, by a 0.82-second margin, the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport."

991 gt3 vs grand sport would make for a more appropriate comparison from a product positioning perspective... price would be even more off though but that's kind of the reality of the situation... grand sport IS a GT3 competitor.

Also still waiting to see this GT350 for 300 over invoice....no response - shocker. ADM's are still strong where I am and finding an MSRP deal is still a national search.
