If you crave a serious sports car more capable and visually impressive than a standard Corvette but far less costly than a Z06, this is it. With four-second 0-60 performance and 1 g cornering grip, why pay the premium for the fixed-roof, manual-only Z06 unless you need 75 more horses?
If you prefer an upscale German marque, two-seater choices in and below the 2010 Chevrolet Grand Sport’s $55,000-60,000 price range include Audi’s TT, BMW’s Z4, Mercedes-Benz’s SLK and Porsche’s Boxter and Cayman. Nissan’s V6-powered 370Z is another less powerful and much less costly alternative.
