1986-1987

The potent L98 was fitted with aluminum heads and a roller cam, it now claimed an underestimated 245 horsepower and a torque band that was aimed towards the low end of the rpm range. This combo's top end was only limited by the long runner design of the L98 intake system. This engine is still a good choice for street applications, where "seat of the pants" acceleration is important. 1992 A new LT1 base engine delivered 55 more horsepower than the prior L98, peaking at 5000 rpm (1000 above the L98). Torque dropped a bit,to 330 pounds-feet(if properly set up the L98 was still the 0-60 sprint king).A reverse flow cooling system and new intake and ignition designs brought the Vette closer to its design capabilities. . 1993 The ZR-1 gained strength for 1993, making 405 horsepower and 385 pounds-feet of torque (up from 375 and 370, respectively). 1994 A passenger-side air bag went into 1994 models. Corvette's automatic transmission gained electronic shift controls and an interlock. The revamped interior featured a knee bolster and new seats with leather upholstery. Convertibles received a heated glass rear window. The ZR-1 gained new 5-spoke aluminum wheels. 1995 Base-model Corvettes got the heavy-duty brakes that had been standard on the high-performance ZR-1. Automatic-transmission Corvettes gained a transmission-fluid temperature gauge. The ZR-1 disappeared in spring 1995, after which a 330-horsepower Grand Sport would assume its role as hottest Corvette of them all. 1996 Two special models arrived in this generation's final season, as did a new high-output engine. Chevrolet planned to build a thousand Grand Sport coupes and convertibles. Each got blue paint with a white stripe, and black 5-spoke alloy wheels. Grand Sport coupes rode wider tires with small rear fender flares. Collector Edition Corvettes came in both body styles, with silver paint and 5-spoke alloy wheels. A new LT4 engine developed 330 horsepower, offered only with a 6-speed manual transmission. 1997 The world changed. The introduction of the C5 virtually changed the way we thought about Americas sports car. The newly designed LS1 was a technological breakthrough of major proportions. With over 345 horses and a matching torque curve, the new C5, like it or not, is presently king of the street. Not only is it fast but it rides like a Caddy, handles better then a Porsche, the coupe has 25 cu ft of storage space. The C5 even gets better gas mileage then some of those Jap rice burners(28+ mpg hwy.)all for about 40 grand. Talk about getting your cake and eating it. 2005 GM Does it Again! The latest version of the American Dream has taken the Vette to an entirely new level. Fit and finish is on par with BMW and Lexus, base power is 430 hp, and ride and handling will blow away our good friends at Porche. The new ZO6 hosts a 505 hp big block. More power via a supercharger is in store for the ZO6 in 2008. Thumbs up to GM, the Corvette is once again the benchmark that everyone else will be aiming for. Back to Top
