1996 Corvette Grand Sport | Retro Review

Hard to believe the C4 Grand Sport was only a thousand units. I can remember seeing a few of them in one place several times back then.

I can’t believe how flat that thing is around the corners. And impressive ground clearance for a great handling daily car. It’s beautiful.

I can hear mr regular say “Gran Turismo 1!!”

[SuperSnallygaster]

Man, the C4's look even better now than they did back in the day. That design is unique and has really aged well.

A friend of mine bought one of these in 96 and still has it today.

Can't beat the looks of an Admiral Blue GS.

The styling on the C4 has aged rather well IMO. Its a lot sharper looking car than the bloated C5 that replaced it or the cartoony looking, overly styled mess that was the post 1974ish C3 car. It just looks mean, creased, and lithe. Also when you pop the huge clam shell hood, the presentation is simply stunning, I can't think of another modern/fuel injected car that looks so damn cool with the hood up.

Something about the paint scheme and overall visual design makes this my favorite 'Vette of all time.

As a 96 LT4 owner, and 80's baby... I always dreamed of having a C4 GS.

I have a 96 that is Competition Yellow and has the LT-4 and the 6 Speed. It has 11, 500 miles and I adore it. A terrifically fun car to drive.

Is is hard to believe that 24 years ago this car was only $15k cheaper than the new Vette’s base price - that is the most impressive thing GM has achieved in decades.. lol

One of the reasons why I loved playing Forzamotorsport 4…..this 1996 Corvette Grand Sport was available and I loved it!!! I love the performance it packed in stock form….only upgrades I would do is to equip it with race tires and reduce weight to around 3k pounds and lowered the suspension a bit but everything else was left stock especially the engine!!! It had enough power to keep up and even overtake the 1995 ZR1(depending on driver skill)

Having owned an LT4 and two LT5 Corvettes, I have experience the best the C4 series had to offer.

Though every new generation offers better ride and chassis dynamics, the understated look of the C4 is timeless.

After fifteen years of C4 ownership, I still find myself going out to the garage just to look at it.

[brendas.]

In 96, my local Chevrolet dealership had a Grand Sport in the showroom. It was sweet!!!

[clydemoreno]

I have a 95 base. This GS is my dream car.

[MBailey]

I was 19 when this beauty was new. A college classmate had a torch red 95. Was a real treat him taking me for a spin it!

[MarkMeadows]

When I was a kid, my pediatric doctor had one of these GS Corvettes. It was one of my favorite cars as a kid.

[rafffer]

I love this generation vet it’s me favorite 😍

[pdennis]

LT4 wasn't an option on all other 96 Corvettes. It was standard with the 6 speed manual and not available with the automatic.

[WynnofThule]

Watching that thing rotate around corners is something else

[DarthSamuraiRyuu]

the most beautiful Corvette ever made!
