2. Q: How can you identify a genuine 2010 Grand Sport Corvette?

A: As most everyone here knows, identifying a genuine 1996 Grand Sport Corvette is fairly easy, thanks to its blue and white paint scheme and more immportantly, a unique VIN sequence, distinct from regular production Corvettes of that year. The 12th digit of the VIN must be a "6" followed by the production number ranging from 00001 to 01000.

But how do you identify a genuine 2010 Grand Sport? Sure, the car comes with unique body panels and trim items, but those can be installed on any C6 Corvette and unlike the 96, the C6 GS does not have a unique VIN sequence and can be had in multiple colors. But after some diligent research, the GSR has found that you CAN identify a genuine 2010 GS by the 5th character in the VIN. Unlike the '96, there's a mess of possible variations, but at least is is possible:

• A - STANDARD 1LT (MANUAL)
• B - PREFERRED 2LT (MANUAL)
• C - PREMIUM 3LT (MANUAL)
• D - CUSTOM 4LT (MANUAL)
• E - STANDARD 1LT (AUTO)
• F - PREFERRED 2LT (AUTO)
• G - PREMIUM 3LT (AUTO)
• H - CUSTOM 4LT (AUTO)
• J - Z06 STANDARD 1LZ (MANUAL)
• K - Z06 PREMIUM 2LZ (MANUAL)
• L - Z06 CUSTOM 3LZ (MANUAL)
• M - ZR1 STANDARD 1ZR (MANUAL)
• N - ZR1 CUSTOM 3ZR (MANUAL)
• P - GRAND SPORT 1LT (MANUAL)
• R - GRAND SPORT 2LT (MANUAL)
• S - GRAND SPORT 3LT (MANUAL)
• T - GRAND SPORT 4LT (MANUAL)
• U - GRAND SPORT 1LT (AUTO)
• V - GRAND SPORT 2LT (AUTO)
• W - GRAND SPORT 3LT (AUTO)
• X - GRAND SPORT 4LT (AUTO)
• 9 - EXPORT ONLY

3. Q: I own a 2010 Grand Sport Corvette. Where can I find my GS number?

A: Unlike the 1996 Grand Sport, the 2010+ C6 Grand Sports do not "sport" a unique VIN sequence number (see FAQ #2, above). But not to be outdone, we identify individual C6 Grand Sports by the last 5 digits of their VIN, e.g., 10GS08624.
