The Grand Sport was a special edition in 1996.

When's the next "anniversary" year? 65th Anniversary in 2018?

I imagine the Indy Pace Car edition will happen before that

its a no brainer. The secial edition or z06 should be the transformers version. If it ever comes out I will sell the c7 that I'm getting.

Z07 was used long before that.

At least 5-6 years?

I haven't paid attention, but has GM been consistent with each corvette generation's life cycle length?

No the shortest was the C2 at 5 years. The C1 was 10 years, the C3 was 14 years, the C4 was 13 years, the C5 was 8 years and the C6 has been 9 years.
So really there has been no consistency in number of model years per generation. It only adds up to 59 years because there was no 83 model.

I think it will be a solid 8 years, GM does a pretty good job at updating the car throughout it's models. C6 got a transmission upgrade in 2006, engine upgrade in 2007, ZR1 in 2009, Grandsport I believe came out in 2010/2011.

well there was some talk that because of CAFE the C7 might have a shorter life cycle if they decide to go to a smaller car with a v6.

The CAFE requirements are spread over the entire lineup of the company. I can't see the Corvette being that much of a hinderance to GM's CAFE number, at least not nearly as much as the trucks. If they continue to sell 15-30k cars a year, that is less than 1/3 of the Camaro sales, so if a car was going to take the hit, it should be a Camaro, not the flagship of the company.
