the 1994 Corvette

The 1994 model year saw some changes from the previous model year. Gone was the dash glove box and in its place is now a passenger side air-bag. The rear window in the convertible is now plate glass with a defroster. Prior it was plastic. The dash is somewhat redesigned. Sequential fuel injection is introduced allowing for better fuel delivery, smoother idling and lower emissions. Leather seats became standard issue in the 1994 model year. Copper metallic is added as an exterior color choice.

Here we feature  the two club members who own Corvettes from this model year. Phyllis has a yellow coupe with an automatic transmission and Bruce has an aqua/white top convertible with a 6 speed transmission. Both have the LT-1 motor producing 300 HP and 340 lbs torque. Even though these cars are over 10 years old, it's not uncommon for either one to be mistaken for a new car. Would you believe Bruce's has 72,000 miles on it? Also Gerit has a black rose coupe.
