1997 CHEVROLET CORVETTE sport mode

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In 1963, Corvette hit the road with an eye-catching new
look -- the Sting Ray coupe. An instant success, the
now-classic Sting Ray featured concealed headlamps
and
a unique split rear window. The split window would
only be offered in
1963, making this model among the
most prized Corvettes ever built.
Restyled inside and out for
1968, this 'Vette sported a
lean and hungry shape, creating a sense of motion even
when standing still. And for the first time, Corvette
offered removable roof panels.

sports car anticipated the future with a sleek look and
advanced technology that provided superior handling
and performance. Windshield angle was the sheerest of
any domestic vehicle, cornering ability the tightest of
any production car. In short, the 1984 redesign enhanced
the Corvette’s reputation as a leader in the world sports
car market. After 44 years
of production,
Corvette only gets better.
The fifth-generation Corvette arrives in 1997, featuring
a completely restyled body and a new, all-aluminum,
5.7 Liter, 345-horsepower
LS1 V8 engine. The
structure
of the fifth-generation redesign is the stiffest
ever developed in 44 years of Corvette production,
resulting .in unparalleled ride quality and outstanding
handling. Also unique to the new Corvette is a
rear-mounted transmission.
Available as a Coupe for 1997, the new Corvette offers
such standard features as extended-mobility tires, a
Bose audio system, and a new, latch-operated roof
designed for easy removal.
With many design cues inspired by the classic models of
the 1960s, the new fifth generation Corvette is an
impressive combination of sleek styling and world-class
sports car performance.
