Driving comfort in the Chevrolet convertible has been greatly improved. It has fully adjustable leather seats and an improved instrument panel with large analog gauges that are illuminated with a backlight for night time driving. The new Corvette also has expanded driver and passenger room.
Raising and lowering the convertible top takes just 30 seconds each, and the top does not take up any space in the rear as in earlier versions. In fact, this is the first year since 1962 Chevrolet added a trunk with a remote-activated lid.
Another exciting Corvette to be released this year is the Corvette Indy 500 pace car. The 1998 version of the pace car far exceeds the glamour of previous models of the Corvette Pace car (1995, 1986, 1978). The Pacer car is set with an aluminum 5.7 liter LS1 small-block V-8 that produces 345 horsepower and 350 pounds of torque. The powertrain and chassis are standard production.
The design of the 1998 Pacer is a head turning experience. It's Radar blue color with vivid yellow Indy 500 graphics located on the sides of the car make it the most exciting looking of any pace cars from the past.. It also comes equipped with a unique set of bright yellow wheels.
Chevrolet plans to produce 1,158 limited editions replicas of the Pace car and will be available early this year. As in the past, Chevrolet has outdone itself in producing two exciting cars that are every car enthusiasts dream!
