Chevrolet celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Corvette in 2013 by marking the end of the C6 era and ushering in the C7 during the annual “Corvette Bash” at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. As the last of the generation, the 2013 Corvette would be the apex of C6 production. All Corvettes that year received special 60th Anniversary badges on the front and rear fascias, and on the “waterfall” panel on convertible models as well. In the interior of the car, 60th logos were also added to the instrument panel gauge cluster and on the sill plates.
This 2013 Watkins Cyber Gray Grand Sport Corvette ticks all the right boxes with larger and stiffer sway bars; revised shock calibration and stiffer springs; Z06 vented and cross drilled rotors, red-painted 6-piston calipers in front and 4-pot calipers out back with functional front and rear brake ducts; a Z06 rear spoiler; and wider front and rear fenders with Grand Sport badging. The Grand Sport also received a 430 HP LS3 V-8 that lays 424 lb-ft of torque to the rear 19-inch chrome wheels shod in Michelin tires via an optional 6-speed automatic gearbox with manual paddle shifting. The 28,792 miles on the clock belies the look of the interior, with dual heated and ventilated bucket seats wrapped in black leather, a Bose nine-speaker sound system, dual-zone climate control and a tilt steering wheel with audio controls and paddle shifters. With 60 years of development, this 2013 Grand Sport is where racing technology and street credibility merge.
