I don't know. To me its still a vette. Why pay big money for a replica Grand Sport, when you can buy a real one and clone it into a grand sport. I like Corvettes, but to me they are a dime a dozen. Go to a local car show and there are 50 vettes at one show.

I wonder what happened to the ERA Grand Sport prototype roadster I remember seeing in pictures of an early Run and Gun event

What ever happened to the FIA that SPF was going to produce?

Tony Stefan Makes a Grand Sport coupe and is working on a roadster. He hand builds the bodies and tube frame. The only thing different from the original is C5 front suspension, and he uses an original cage which are readiily available. It's an awesome accurate masterpiece. Tony was very instrumental in the original design and building of ERA cars. Look him up at tonysautobuilders.com

Tony Stefan has the tooling, just that his first car was the coupe. Hopefully we'll see a roadster soon. This was taken at his shop in '07.

Mid-year Corvettes are anything but 'dime a dozen'. It would be blasphemy to cut one up to make a GS. Kinda like cutting up a Shelby Mustang (well, not quite)

Not only that, but the Grand Sport replica I'm sure is a tube frame car like the original... I saw one at Lime Rock last labor day and it went like stink...
