History
Chevrolet built 21,590 Corvettes for 1993, at a base price of $34,595, and 6,749 of them carried the 40th Anniversary package. Passive keyless entry became standard that year and the ZR-1's LT5 was raised to 405 hp after Lotus revised its valvetrain, exhaust and heads. A CorvSport guide counts 250 40th Anniversary ZR-1s.
