1996 LT4 Topic
Was recently sitting in the passenger seat of a GS holding the GPS. This is a stock car except for the K&N and B&B Triflow exhaust. The speedo was reading approx 4 mph lower than the GPS was showing. Car was smooth at this speed and perhaps could have gone a little more, but driver had to let off due to an upcoming finish line...

Welcome to 
How did your LT4 feel @ 191 MPH?
How much does it cost to run @ Atlanta Motor Speedway?

Are you sure the car is stock??? That seems pretty fast.
Hey Jason!
Yeah, Brooks did take me for a ride! Actually it really was like a Sunday drive only a whole lot faster. I'm hooked now... and already planning for next year. It sure would be neat to have a few Grand Sports in the line-up.
I had a better feeling about this speed after I saw a pic and post from Sam Bryant after the Nebraska Open Road where after the car finished dancing through the shrubbery, both driver and navigator opened the doors and were able to walk away.

A chuckle..
...anyone notice the sponsor decal on the rear fender of the GS?
Gonna need lots of plastic surgery to fix that GS!
Heidi
Note:
I think it is amazing that the driver and passenger were able to walk away! Great vette!

That car was just up on Ebay not that long ago. I dont know if it was sold or not. But it was only in slightly better condition that the "after" pic above. It was being sold as a parts car.

Hi Ken...
According to Sam, the left rear suspension came apart and caused the rear to swing to the left. Steering to correct did not work. He says that "During the course of the wreck, the entire left rear wheel assembly was separated from the rest of the
car." He also stated that there was no indication of a problem in this area prior to the race.
The Sandhills race..uh 'rally' is quite a bit more challenging than the Silver State as there are no opportunities on straights to bank time. It's a 'go for it' as best you can.
Sam says he will be back next year albeit in a black Z06!
From the picture... I can only say the GS served him well. He had
45k miles on the car.

Great article Ken!
Although I would love to test the 200 mph range, I don't have the
resources for this and I don't want to heavily modify the Grand Sport. I have a lot of fun in the autocross field and this Silver State open road racing was just on my list of things to do.
Having had the opportunity to sit as navigator for Brooks, I now have to drive it! Gotta be an even greater rush! The only part that bothers me is trailering the car for about 3600 miles in total.
But... it's on my list!!!
