...shocks, stabilizer bar, bushing arrangement, heavy-duty brakes and engine oil cooler and combines them with a special calibration of the selective ride control system. The result is enhanced ride and handling characteristics. FIT, FINISH, CONTROLS Starting on the outside and working in, the convertible's paint was flawless. The doors are a little on the heavy side, and the passenger's side of the hood failed to close properly - an extra push did the job. The manual convertible top was a snap. It took less than a minute to put up - or take down. On the inside, the test car was equipped with...

1995 Chevrolet Corvette Overview
Source: CarGurus

...The 1995 Chevrolet Corvette featured many changes, but is best remembered as the last year of the ZR-1.
The ZR-1 was much-loved by its drivers and collectors,
but the powerful car seemed to have priced itself out of the market; the only true difference between the ZR-1 and LT-1 was a more powerful engine.
By this time, the LT-1s had grown so powerful and efficient that they were fast on the heels of the ZR-1s.
The base engine for 1995 was a 5.7-liter, 350-ci LT-1 V8, still rated at 300 horsepower, while the ZR-1 had an LT-5 engine rated at 405 horsepower.
Changes for...

1996 Chevrolet Corvette Professional Cars.com Review

...FIT AND FINISH I was pleasantly surprised at the high-quality manner in which our te t vehicle was assembled. This is a very tightly bolted together rocket ship. There was nothing amiss - not a squeak or rattle was heard. In the past I've tested Corvettes that seemed haphazardly assembled. But the quality of our test car's leather seats, carpet and rubberlike dash conveyed to me a feeling of durability. Our car was loaded with options. Switches on the console allow the driver and passenger to inflate three air bags in the seats to adjust the level of back support and side bolsters. Power...
