Vette(s): 96 convertible collectors edition LT4

Hello 

i was wondering if anyone can help me with my 96 CE as far as how many were made like the one I recently purchased 

it is a convertible with factory hard top and black soft top LT4 with suspension control and Torch Red interior 

in reading what I could find and what I was told it’s 1 of 41 and factory hardtop could even cut that is this true?

I was told if you ordered factory hardtop u had to buy and install a kit n screw downs before you could put it on?

I know for sure it’s a pain to take off lol

if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated 

thanks

Vette(s): 1996 C4 Collector edition hdtop convertible

Hello DEREK!   My guess is that is a rare one....   I for one leave my hardtop on all the time for looks and for a much improved driving experience.   That roof actually has a built in roll bar so that is why its a pain to r&r.

 

ENJOY IT !

Vette(s): Black 1987 Corvette Engine-383, 450 HP. Transmission- 700R4 with shift kit and 2300-2500 monster torque converter Wheels- 9 1/2 front, 11" rear.

I don't think 90 MPH at 2000 is correct with those gears. My car has the 4 speed automatic with overdrive and 3:08 gears and reads 70 miles per hour at 2000 rpm. It's possible you tack is off a little.
