Vehicle Description
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF CORVETTE1993 marked the fourth decade of
America's sports car with a very special commemorative edition- the
40th Anniversary Edition. This was an option package that was made
available on all 1993 Corvette models Coupe Convertible and ZR-1.
All 40th Anniversary Edition Corvettes (and only 40th Anniversary
Edition Corvettes) are Ruby Red from the inside out. With a unique
deep-shining metallic special 40th anniversary emblems and stunning
ruby red interior these Corvettes truly are a celebration of
Corvette history.With 40 years of heritage and refinement behind it
the 1993 Corvette was the classic American two-seater. Corvette's
5.7 Liter LT1 V8: this 300 HP V8 combines smooth in-city
performance and ferocious capability at high RPM with either the
4-speed automatic or the 6-speed manual this is driving the way it
is meant to be. Technology in the 1993 Corvette also includes
sophisticated fully independent suspension with precision-crafted
aluminum componentry an all-disc-four-wheel anti-lock brake system
and a traction-control system that helps Corvette utilize all
available traction by regulating wheel spin. And asymmetrical
unidirectional 17? Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires help deliver precise
response to driver input.THE LT1The 1993 sales brochure referred to
the LT1 as "America's Most Respected V8". The LT1 was the most
powerful small block V8 ever placed in a production Corvette. The
LT1 updated Chevrolet's small block V8 first introduced in 1955. It
had powered more cars both on the street and on the track than any
other V8 and the LT1 was the update for a new generation of
performance lovers.The 5.7 Liter LT1 delivers a remarkable balance
of overall power acceleration and smoothness of power delivery.
Horsepower is 300 at 5000 RPM; torque is 340 lb-ft at 3600 RPM. The
advanced technology in the LT1 includes Multi-Port Fuel Injection
aluminum cylinder heads a low profile intake manifold that delivers
excellent volumetric efficiency a low-friction accessory drive and
a unique reverse-flow cooling system that allows more efficient
engine cooling and a higher compression ratio.Four-Wheel
Independent SuspensionThe balanced feel of Corvette is due to a
sophisticated fully independent suspension. The technology includes
monoleaf front and rear transverse springs high strength but
lightweight forged aluminum components and a unique five-link rear
suspension that does an excellent job of keeping the rear tires
"planted" even while cornering on irregular road surfaces.
High-performance Goodyear Eagle GS-C asymmetrical and
unidirectional tires are an integral part of the chassis
dynamics.Optional Selective Ride and Handling PackageThis
computerized ride control system allows the driver to select from
one of the three shock absorber damping levels (Touring Sport or
Performance) via a console mounted switch. It is programmed for six
automatic gradations of firmness within each mode with firmness
increasing as vehicle speed increases.Your Choice 6-Speed Manual or
4-Speed AutomaticThe acclaimed ZF 6-Speed manual transmission is a
no-cost option in Corvette Coupe and Convertible and is standard in
ZR-1. A 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission is standard in the
Coupe and the Convertible.Bosch ABS IIUThis Bosch ABS is one of the
most advanced four-wheel anti-lock braking systems available in any
automobile and it is standard in every 1993 Corvette. ABS reduces
the chance of wheel lockup during braking and is designed to help
you maintain steering control even in a panic stop in rain or snow
or on ice. When called upon to do so ABS can adjust brake pressure
as rapidly as 15 times per second a pace even the most skilled
professional driver cannot attain. Bosch ABS IIU is contained with
four-wheel power discs for up to 1.0g of stopping powerCORVETTE
ZR-1. NOW WITH 405 HORSEPOWEREver since it stormed onto the sports
car stage in 1990 Corvette ZR-1 has been front and center the ZR-1
made history. It put Corvette in league with the fastest Ferraris
Porsches and Lamborghinis and while doing so the US-born ZR1
maintained Corvette's comfort and civility level. The ZR1 made more
history in 1993 the LT5 V8 which is exclusive to ZR-1 jumps 30
horsepower to 405 at 5800 RPM Torque is 385 lb-ft at 5200 RPM.Four
Cams 32 ValvesSpecifications of the 32-valve LT5 V8 are legendary;
all-aluminum construction four overhead camshafts Multi-Port Fuel
Injection with a 16-runner inlet manifold and two Multec injectors
per cylinder. Thereis no distributor; ignition is via a four-coil
"direct-fire"system. The result is totally uncompromised high
performance. But the intriguing aspect of the LT5 engine is its
ability to combine high-RPM power with a smooth refined around-town
attitude.Speak Softly But....A dual-mode induction system contains
the secret of LT5 tractability. Within each cylinder the intake
ports valves and cam lobes are divided into two groups the primary
and secondary. Below half-throttle or 3000 RPM the engine breathes
through the primary ports only. So operation in effect is on three
valves per cylinder. But the ZR-1's full potential is unleashed
when you put your foot down. The secondary port throttle valves
open to permit fuel-air mixture to enter the secondary intake
valves. At this point the engine is running on all 16 injectors and
all 32 valves. The secondary intake valves are actuated by cam
lobes with more duration than the primaries providing true variable
valve timing for both tractable low-speed and impressive high-speed
characteristics in a single engine.Phenomenal as the ZR-1 engine is
it's not the whole story. The 1993 Corvette ZR-1 is an
all-'rounder. Consider content ZR-1 is not "back to basics"- you
get ABS traction control an airbag...the essential technology in
any 1990's era sports car. Everything on the Corvette option list
except for the transparent roof panel is standard in ZR-1. You
enjoy a world class stereo with a compact disc player and a
cassette tape player the luxury of power six-way sport seats with
leather seating surfaces air conditioning and power windows. The
LT5 V8 is amplified by a smooth-shifting six-speed manual
transmission a tuned four-wheel independent suspension with
Selective Ride Control and extra-wide Eagle GS-C rear tires
designed to put LT5 power to the pavement. Those tires necessitate
the uniquely flared read bodywork that has become a ZR-1 signature.
