In-game description[]
The wedge-shaped fourth-generation Corvette had classic sports car styling and design. No "cab-forward" here - the long nose hid a large-displacement V8 engine and the driver and passenger sat well to the rear. The C4 'Vette was progressively refined from its introduction in 1983, both in ride and handling and in power output. By 1996, the last year of C4 production, its 5.7-liter (350 cubic inch) cast-iron, pushrod overhead-valve V8 made 300 horsepower in standard LT1 trim.
Although the ZR-1 was gone, introduction of the high-performance LT4 engine was welcome. Use of technology and tuning tricks developed during the ZR-1 program enabled the trusty iron beast to make 330 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 340 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm, in a much more affordable package. If not quite as quick and fast as the ZR-1, the LT4 was hardly slow.
Since 1996 was the last year for the C4, Chevy had a present for Corvette lovers, reviving the "Grand Sport" name for a special edition. The name was first used for a special racing version in 1963, with five built. One thousand coupes and convertibles got the name for 1996. They also got the LT4 and a special paint scheme featuring a blue body color with a white central stripe. Grand Sport coupes had the wheels and 275/40ZR-17 front, 315/35ZR-17 rear tires used on the ZR-1. In any trim, the C4 was and is an American classic, and a very fast, capable sports car.
