Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2011 -- The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, the latest vehicle in the time-honored performance sports car line, waits for drivers at Classic Chevrolet.

Those looking for any new or used Chevrolet near Fort Worth will find it at Classic Chevrolet, for years one of the area's leading Chevrolet dealers.

With style and performance harkening back to its iconic 1960s ancestor, the 2011 Corvette Grand Sport will thrill true driving enthusiasts. The Grand Sport features an adrenaline-infused V8 engine with 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. Even these weighty figures head higher still -- to 436 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque -- with an available dual-mode exhaust.

The V8 beneath the hood of the Corvette allows it to fly from 0-60 in 3.95 seconds, what will seem like little more than a blink of the eye. There's enough power in the Corvette Grand Sport, in fact, to offer a blistering top speed of 190 mph.

Further enhancing the ride in this Corvette are features such as a wide-stance body with flared fenders, six-piston front brake calipers and four-piston rears, and a high rear spoiler.

Given such incredible performance, the Grand Sport's fuel economy deserves some recognition. With a six-speed manual transmission, drivers can expect fuel efficiency numbers of 26 mpg on the highway and 16 in city driving. These are V6 numbers that produce V8 power, a fact which puts the Corvette in a class of its own.
