So is this new 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport the new king of performance-per-dollar when it comes to sports cars? Senior Editor Dan Pund drove one at GM's Milford proving grounds to find out.

After a few laps on the Milford road course, Dan figures this replacement for the Z51 package is well worth the price. Sure, it still doesn't have the exotic aluminum frame of the Z06 or the monster motor of the ZR1, but come one, this is still one of the faster cars around and the Grand Sport looks the part. And all for roughly $56,000. A good deal no?
