The C4 (1984-1996) Corvette was continually improved each year, enough so that it still ranks as one of the best sports cars you can buy. And, compared to most of its upscale competitors, the Corvette continues to offer brash style, performance and image at a relative bargain.
Chevrolet decided that a very special Corvette was needed to commemorate the end of the C4 model run. It was special enough to share a moniker very familiar to Corvette aficionados; Grand Sport. Named for the awesome Corvette racer of the early ’60’s of which only 5 were built.
This new Grand Sport featured special Admiral Blue exterior with a White stripe up the hood and over the rear deck, two Red hash marks over the left front fender, Black spoke "ZR-1" style wheels, chrome badging and embroidery on the headrests. But what really made the GS grand was the one year only LT4 engine! This power plant featured 10.8:1 compression, revised aluminum heads and camshaft, Crane roller rockers and put out a "conservatively" rated 330hp. The LT4's redline was also increased to 6300 rpm (5700 rpm for LT1), so LT4-equipped models had 8000 rpm tachometers instead of the base 6000 rpm. This engine was only available with the 6-spd manual transmission and only 1000 Grand Sports (Coupe and Convertible) were built, the most coveted being the GS Convertible with red/black interior of which only 53 were produced.
