Two of the original 1963 Grand Sport racers were modified into roadsters tobe even more competitive. The modern-day Grand Sport convertible offers superb balance for high-speed grand touring, thanks to a performance-tuned suspension, 6-piston front brake calipers and Grand Sport-specific wheels paired with summer-only tires.1

Chevrolet Corvette Wiring Diagrams engine power is enhanced by four additional radiators. A low-temperature radiator and two outboard radiators are used strictly in the supercharger circuit, while the other two outboard radiators are used in the engine cooling circuit. Like the Z06, thereis also a lay down cooler for the power steering, differential oil cooler and transmission-cooling modules.
PICK YOUR LEVEL OF DOWNFORCE.ZR1 offers two aerodynamic configurations. The standard low wing can optimize top speed.To help improve road holding on a track, the available ZTK Track Performance Package adds carbon-fiber end caps to the front splitter and a two-way adjustable high wing that produces 950 pounds of downforce at top speed. Also included are Michelin® Pilot®Sport Cup 2 tires1and specific suspension calibrations for road circuits.
