Impressions of the Chevrolet Corvette for 1991
The Chevrolet Corvette is a 2-door car available at your Chevrolet dealer. The Corvette came in two configurations: Base and ZR-1. The ZR-1 configuration is powered by the 5.7-liter eight-cylinder engine, which makes 25 highway miles and 16 city. The Corvette competes in the Hatchback market segment, in direct competition with Toyota.
The Corvette ZR-1 is equipped with a General Motors 5.7 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The Chevrolet engine is mated to a ZF 6-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The 1991 Corvette’s standard fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected MFI style of design. The fuel capacity of the car is 20.00 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Corvette comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses leaf front springs and leaf in the rear.
The dimensions of the Corvette ZR-1 are 71.00 inches wide by 178.60 inches long. It sits 46.70 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 96.20 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $32,565 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Hatchback.
The 1991 Corvette gets 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 in the city. This is below average for a hatchback car.
The vehicle is available in several colors.
The standard warranty period for the Corvette is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the hatchback market.
There are several reasons why the Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 sold well in 1991. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Chevrolet, specifically a Corvette.
