Thank God, the the 2011 grand sport convertibles are as forgotten as the 2010 as far as dry sump, trunk battery, etc. etc. And yes misery does love company.

How many new vettes and I mean how many new coupes are bought with the intention of going to any kind of actual competition. I'll bet that 99% of any competition will be from one traffic lite to another. With an occasional trip to a drag strip. Chevy of all people should know this. But as long as I have a warranty I am ok. If I starve the engine of oil while making some sort of turn, " opps " It still uunder warranty. Chevy's loss.Dry sump is for a more "competition" oriented vehicle, convertable tops are not. Verts have their place, but not on tracks.
Where did you read that? What is the weight distribution that you thought it was going to be? Why would you want a battery in the trunk (in a vert?)Let me see am I having issues with my GS, Yes I am having lots of issues my GS. I am very disappointed with the whole situation. I read before ordering that the GS engines were to be built where the LS7 and LS9 were to be built, by one guy, that the car was to have a better weight distribution, (battery in the trunk) Was to have a dry sump oil system, who knows what else they said for the GS. was to have? $70 thousand later I take delivery to find out I have a reg. conv. with flared fenders. Yes I have an issue.
Reason for battery in the trunk is 2 fold. 1- better weight distribution, closer to 50/50. 2-Less trouble in getting to battery in case of a dead battery. You only need your key. Besides Chevy said the Grand Sport period. Why are the dry sump so problematic? What does the engine starve of oil going up hills? Does the Z06 have lousy brakes and tires?Where did you read that?

Why would anyone want GM's problematic dry sump system?
If you have a 2010 GS, please send me your brakes and wheels/tires as my Z06 is in need...
I'm taking a roadtrip on Wednesday, and I'd give almost anything to have a GS vert for the trip! (Avenue of the Giants, here I come!)
Having a fixed roof Z sucks for this...:eyerole

Is it cheaper to convert to dry sump or to re-buy a 2012 GS? i HAVE A WHOPPING 95 MILES ON MY RAG TOP, MAYBE I SHOULD LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
