The Chevrolet Corvette (C4) is the fourth generation of the Corvette sports car, manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for 1984–1996 model years. While no 1983 Corvettes were sold to the public, GM built 43 pre-production pilot cars for engineering and testing. All but one of these test vehicles were ordered to be destroyed. One white pre-production 1983 Corvette—VIN 1G1AY0783D5100023—escaped the crusher. It was hidden away, temporarily parked outside the factory, and largely forgotten for years. After being rediscovered and restored, it was spared and remains the only true 1983 Corvette in existence. It miraculously survived a massive sinkhole at the museum…

Aerodynamic Development of the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1. <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper presents an overview of the aerodynamic development of the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1. Extensive wind tunnel testing and computational fluid dynamics simulations were completed to engineer the ZR1’s aerodynamics to improve lift-to-drag efficiency and track capability over previous Corvette offerings. The ZR1 architecture changes posed many aerodynamic challenges including increased vehicle cooling, strict packaging demands, wider front track width, and aggressive exterior styling. Through motorsports-inspired aerodynamic development, the ZR1 was enginee…
