1996 Grand Sport Highlights

  • The Grand Sport option (RPO Z16) included the LT4 engine, which was only available with the 6-speed manual transmission, special Admiral Blue paint with Arctic White racing stripe down the center of the car and two red hashmarks over the left front fender commemorating the 1963 Grand Sport Corvettes.  Unique Grand Sport badging was placed on each side of the hood above the side fender vents as well as a unique chrome plated Corvette emblem on the nose and gas lid.
     
  • Grand Sports were available in both Coupe ($3250 option) and Convertible ($2880 option) versions. Only 1,000 were built consisting of 810 coupes and 190 convertibles. Grand Sport Coupes were equipped with P275/40ZR-17 tires on 17x9.5" wheels in front and P315/35ZR-17 tires on 17x11" wheels in the rear.  Grand Sport Convertibles were equipped with P255/45ZR-17 tires on 17x8.5" wheels in front and P285/40ZR-17 tires on 17x9.5" wheels in the rear.  Coupes came equipped with molded fender flares above the rear wheel arches while the convertibles did not.  Grand Sport Wheels were the same as the 1994-1995 ZR-1's 5 spoke wheels except painted with a glossy black finish and a 50mm offset rather than the ZR-1's 36mm.  Special gloss black finished front brake calipers with the "Corvette" name in bright aluminum were also part of the Grand Sport option as well.
     
  • Interior color choices for the Grand Sport were limited to all black, or a unique Torch Red and Black combination... red seats & trim but with black carpeting.  The "Grand Sport" name was embroidered on the seat headrests.
     
  • All Grand Sport equipped Corvettes came with their own unique Vehicle Identification Number sequence, distinct from regular production 1996 Corvettes. The only other production Corvette up to this time to have had a unique VIN sequence was the 1990-1995 ZR-1. See below for more VIN info.
     
  • The Z16 Grand Sport RPO was a 1-year only option for 1996 Corvettes. The production run for the Grand Sport ran from April 3rd, 1995 for GS VIN #0001 and ended with GS VIN #1000 on June 14th, 1996.
     
  • They're just plain cool.

    1996 Grand Sport VIN Numbers

    1996 Corvettes used a 17-digit VIN ranging from 1G1YY2257T5100001 to 1G1YY2251T5120536. 1996 Grand Sport Corvettes had a unique VIN series (as did the 1990-95 ZR-1s) ranging from 1G1YY2251T5600001 to 1G1YY2251T5601000.

    Note: The LT4 engine was an option on all regular production Corvettes in 1996. Each LT4 came with a throttle body ID plate boldly emblazoned with the words "Grand Sport" leading many unknowing (or at times, unscrupulous) dealers to advertise a 1996 regular production Corvette as a "Grand Sport" even though it was not a Z16 optioned car.

    The easiest way to determine a "genuine" Grand Sport is to look at the 12th digit in the VIN... it is a "1" on regular production Corvettes and a "6" for Z16 Grand Sports.

    Digit Definition
    1st Nation of Origin:  1 = U.S.
    2nd Manufacturer:  G = GM
    3rd Make and Type:  1 = Chevrolet Passenger
    4th Carline:  Y = Corvette
    5th Carline/Series:  Y = Corvette
    6th/7th Body Type:  2 = Coupe, 3 = Convertible
    8th Engine:  5 = LT4, P = LT1
    9th Security check digit (varies)
    10th Model Year:  T = 1996
    11th Assembly Plant:  5 = Bowling Green, KY
    12th Special Option:  1 = Regular Production, 6 = Grand Sport (Z16)
    Last 5 digits Production Number ranging from 00001 to 20536 (01000 for Grand Sports)

    Thanks to the Corvette Action Center for the above format.
