The GS is not a "nuts and bolts" replica. Research showed that people want the look but not the race car. Duntov is licensed to build track versions, the street versions will be Superformance.

Upgrades to the interior are obvious in the video....no factory 60's Grand Sports came with air con! Brake upgrades, the rack and pinion steering, power windows, etc. are obvious changes from the 60's cars. These are intended to be high performance sports/GT cars rather than all-out race cars.

And note that the car is licensed by GM to carry the "Corvette" name and logos. It is LEGALLY a "CORVETTE"!

And an SPF GT40 is legally a GT40.

GM is not making the GS Corvette is it? Does GM have a plant in South Africa?

I smell one of those threads about real versus replica.

Why yes, GM DOES have several plants in South Africa! They don't build Corvettes 'though. And yes, the "legal" thing IS a marketing thing but then so is a Cobra built in Poland

If it's not a hologram, it is "REAL"....... it just isn't "original"..........................

Actually, Kirkham doesn't refer to its car as a Cobra. The SAAC Registry does. But I digress.

We'll have to ask Evan about "real" versus "original."

I tell ya, I get no respect.

Legal? Will ol' Duntov sign the dash?
