Powertrain Options and Availability
Corvettes in 1991 still employed the L98 V8 engine, rated at 245 horsepower, which had served through the 1980s. A dual overhead-cam, 32-valve V8 of the same size went into the ultraperformance ZR-1 coupe. That engine whipped up 375 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed manual gearbox was the sole choice for the ZR-1. Other Corvettes might have a 4-speed automatic. For 1992, the new LT1 engine made 300 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. Output of the ZR-1 engine grew in 1993, to 405 horses and 385 pound-feet. The 330-horsepower LT4 engine introduced for 1996 was standard on the Grand Sport and optional on others.
