Vehicle Highlights
Chevy's sports car got its first facelift since the two-seater was redesigned as an '84 model, though its basic structure remained the same. All models got a convex tail and square taillamps, previously installed only on the hyper-performance ZR-1 coupe. A tapered lower nose held wraparound inserts for fog lamps and turn signals. A cooler for power-steering fluid went into all Corvettes. All models had a driver-side airbag. Both engines drove a 6-speed manual transmission, with 4-speed automatic optional only on base models. The L98 V8 developed 245 horsepower, versus 375 for the ZR-1.
