| What They Say... |
- "The 1985 Corvette is a powerful package, honed to increase your driving pleasure. And considering what you'd have to pay for this kind of performance elsewhere, it's a relative bargain." -- Road and Track Magazine, December, 1984.
- "...This is not to say the car rides softly now, but it's a much improved compromise between comfort and road feel. Better still, the softer ride gives the impression that this is ahigher quality car." -- Road and Track Magazine, December, 1984.
- "No need to speculate, the car is definitely quicker. And what numbers!" -- Road and Track Magazine, December, 1984
