The most desirable and collectible C4 Corvette is the ZR-1. Close behind is the gorgeous 1996-only Grand Sport.


This 1996 Grand Sport is especially desirable due to its options. It's one of only 190 convertibles built – most Grand Sports were coupes. Of the 1,000 Grand Sports built, 810 were coupes.

Of those 190 convertibles, just 41 featured the desirable red interior and RPO F45 High Performance Suspension option. These dampers offered selective real-time damping. That's pretty heady stuff for 1996.

All Grand Sports were powered by the 1996-only LT4 engine, a higher-performance variant of the LT1 that offered 330 horsepower and 340 lb/ft of torque. That's an increase of 30 horsepower over and 10 lb/ft over the standard LT1.
