1996 Chevrolet Corvette

The year 1996 for Chevrolet Corvette was the end of c4 or the fourth generation Corvettes and the launching of the Collector's Edition that features special emblems and 5-spoke wheels and the Grand Sport that resembled the '60s racing Corvette.

There were also additional features such as the low tire-pressure warning system and the 4-wheel independent suspension while the coupe offered heated rear glass and an optional hardtop.

A standard 5.7 Liter V8 engine that generated 300 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque powered both the coupe and the convertible while there was an optional V8 engine with an upgraded performance of 330 horsepower.
