For 1996 Chevrolet commemorated the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport with a modern-day representation of the car. Painted in the same blue/white stripe paint scheme, the 1996 Grand Sport uses an upgraded version of Chevrolet's 5.7 liter V8 called the LT4. The LT4 features hollow-stem intake and exhuast valves, a higher-lifting and longer-duration camshaft, stiffer valve springs, ported aluminum cylinder heads, a high-flow throttle body, sequentially fired fuel injectors, and a 10.8:1 compression ratio compared with the LT1's 10.4:1.
Other special features include "CORVETTE" embossed brake calipers, a bright red intake manifold and sark plug wires, 11-inch rear and 9-inch front tires, and black 5-spoke alloy wheels.
