Video: Using Launch Control on the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (w/ new high-res photos)

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

We absolutely love launch control features on the sports cars we get in our press fleet. Heck, we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t get up every morning – hopped in one of our press cars, headed over to a safe locations, and just counted down to 0.

One car we still have to get behind is the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. However, GM just sent us some footage from a recent launch event where they presented the launch control feature.

Refresher: Power comes from a LS3 6.2L V8 producing 430-hp and a peak torque of 424 lb-ft when mated to a standard exhaust system. Output is increased to 436-hp when mated to the optional two-mode exhaust system. The model will also feature widebody styling along with a racing-bred suspension. The Corvette Grand Sport can be ordered with 1LT, 2LT, 3LT and 4LT trim packages. The 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport starts at $55,720 for the coupe and $59,530 for the convertible.
