1996 Corvette Parts and Accessories

1996 Corvette Overview

The last year of the C4 Corvette brought about the new LT4 motor for manual transmissions only while automatic transmissions were coupled with the LT1 motor. The LT5 and ZR-1 option were no longer available; instead Chevy offered the Grand Sport and a Collectors Edition. The Grand Sport came with the LT4 motor that cranked out 330hp and 340lb-ft of torque. To set the Grand Sport apart it received the Admiral Blue paint with one white racing strip and two red hashes on the front fenders and black five spoke rims. The Grand Sport Convertibles came with a white top.

The Collectors Edition received special paint as well, Sebring Silver Metallic, and could have the LT4 and 6-speed manual transmission if requested otherwise it came with the LT1 and an automatic transmission. The Special Edition Convertibles came with a black top.

Both the Grand Sport and Special Edition were limited releases and mark the end of the 12 year run of the C4 Corvette. 1997 would bring in almost a complete new platform for the Corvette, both engine and body styles were changed.
