Notes

• 1999 saw the addition of the new Corvette Hardtop.  The Corvette Hardtop had a lower starting price than the Coupe and Convertible with less options but also included the Z51 package and the six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment.
• The steering wheel hardware was revised for better sensitivity and less “play” and “wander” while driving.
• The Convertible has better rigidity and is stiffer than the previous year model.  This reduced the lateral shake and made for a smoother ride. Over all curb weight was also reduced.
• The 1999 Corvette has new redesigned airbags that have less force when deployed to protect the driver from injury but still supplement the lap belts sufficiently.
• A new sill trim plate was added.
