Corvette Wheels Pt 3 of 3 - 1997 to 2009
The new design was truly a “modern” Corvette. However, many of the basic components can be traced all the way back to the ‘57 “Q-Corvette” proposal. Yes, forty years before, Zora Arkus-Duntov was thinking about advanced hardware that included and all-aluminum, fuel-injected engine, an aluminum-case transaxle, inboard-mounted rear drum brakes to reduce unsprung mass, a lightweight pan chassis similar to the 356 Porsche, and four-wheel independent suspension. Fast forward forty years and you have the C5 Corvette. Lightweight alloy wheels eliminated the need for the inboard-mounted rear brakes and the new hydroformed frame rails replaced the pan body structure. Other than those details, body styling, and a lot of computerized components, the new C5 Corvette was the realization of the ‘57 Q-Corvette proposal.
The ‘99 Corvette Hardtop started out as that car. However, it turned out that to lighten the car would cause a serious increased the cost. The only thing than Dave Hill and his Corvette engineering crew could do to move in that direction was to permanently bolt on and bond a convertible hardtop to the existing convertible. The net result was a 12-percent increase in stiffness for the new hardtop Corvette.
Corvette Chief Engineer, Tadge Juechter and his crew have served up the ultimate production Corvette that is a first-class example of how racing improves the breed. Once again, we see even larger wheels. The ‘09 ZR1 wears Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires – P285/30ZR19 in the front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear, mounted on twenty-spoke 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels. The wheels come in two versions – one, painted with Sterling Silver paint and the other with a chrome finish.
