An overview of the new Corvette, says that it is faster and more sporty compared to its predecessor. A Corvette sting ray Sport Coupe and a convertible, or fastback when you put it on, you will find that the excitement goes beyond skindeep. Corvette independent rear suspension under the front of the tail carved the path that holds the most powerful second behind the car and still no other production sports car.
The biggest innovation this year, the coupe instead of an open Roadster body, as the basis of a separate peak for an alternative. As is traditional with the Corvette, in both coupe and Sofa bed made of fiberglass also. The new Coupe at the Coliseum in the month of April of 1961 Jaguar XK-E Coupe in a dramatic way, there is good reason to believe that it was inspired by the market launch. GM borrowed the keys to a Jaguar and opening of the staff are known to have returned in the late hours of night. Measure and draw a day's use. Just the XK-e Coupe, as it was faster than the Roadster, sting ray Sport Coupe and convertible faster than. Zora Arkus-duntov, according to the open street still has the original exhaust with the equipment and fully equipped coupe with mph exceeded 160 155 is able to, however, the cabin remained between 150 and 155 top speed.
More prosaically-but very important - location is improved in a huge way on previous corvettes. Any driver found to be in a comfortable position further back and the seats have many adjustments. At the last moment possible and drive straight arm sloping hood, visibility is very good. Behind the wheel, the car the "old" Corvette and it looks smaller than it is.
59 57 inches from the rear piece is downloaded, the wheelbase of 56.3 inches and 57 inches from the front piece was lowered from 98 to 102%, down from 57 percent to 59 inches in the rear piece has been reduced. This is all more agile and more easily directed with precision.
Last year, upgraded to 327 BHP when it became clear that power cannot be improved only by adding the Corvette. Because it is on the border of the chassis, the chassis and suspension, it was decided to make improvements where they are most needed. Chevrolet Zora Arkus from engineering-Duntov, H. F. Barr and E. J. Premo, 1957 Corvette SS, Sting ray and V-1 and with the experience gathered to build a completely new chassis.
The prototype open-wheel race car independent rear suspension geometry directly CREV-1 is derived from. '63 Corvette cerv in-1 roller that is used in the springs and transverse leaf springs so there wasn't room for the differential housing behind and chose duntov put under.
The upper half shafts with two universal joints of each slice acts as a bone kicked out. There is a bar under each simple lateral control; with stamped steel radius arms, the driving and braking impulse are received. Civatalanmi front and rear of the differential housing to the frame.
1962 solid axle compared with the Corvette, the new model lower rear roll center (9.0% against 8.13 inches above from the floor). This CERV-1 is the same; suspended SS and the sting ray Dion, 8.0 inches above ground roll centers.
The rear wheels in their normal positions 1.5 ° negative kamberli. At full compression, this 5.5 ° negative camber at full rebound and rises to 4 ° positive camber gives. 4.0 compression and rebound movement of the wheel in inches 3.15 inches. Compression design on the original 3.75-inch path had called GM, but caused a slight reduction styling the line of the Fender. The front wheels, camber and very little compression rises with 3.75 inch variations, with a four inch recoil falls on: Full compression at 3.18 ° negative full also rebound 1.73 °, a normal setting is 0.5 ° is negative. The spring rates in the front on a wheel 105 lb / inch and the rear side 125 lb / inch and a static deviation higher in the front.
Corvette sting ray, 1962 roll more than the model horizontal axis. When upgraded rear roll Center 3.4 inch front descended to a level of 1.13 inches. The hardness of this roller is increased and contributed to a more balanced reaction in the car. 3.18 ° negative full also rebound 1.73 °, a normal setting is 0.5 ° is negative. The spring rates in the front on a wheel 105 lb / inch and the rear side 125 lb / inch or higher on the front side gives a static deviation.
The most important lies in the geometry of the chassis design in progress. Rear suspension the rear suspension in 1963 for parts for parts up to about 210 pounds in unsprung weight while get a pretty big reduction in no-load unladen, rear axle, wheels, springs and spring 1962 Corvette weighed 350 and the radius of the rods.
With the transition to independent rear suspension, it was natural for Chevrolet to design a new framework. Then used an X-braced boxed-channel steel frame compared to a simple steel tube frame (like a Ferrari production model) had many advantages they knew. Lightweight and rigid, and the body with the correct port for proper design function. Chevrolet engineers have a similar tube-shaped frame designed and a prototype was made. Then, the pipeline is much more because of the costs, the accumulated sections of the box instead of one by one. Frame, left from the moment the prototype into production that are heavier than optimistic, however, had no tube which is more economical to manufacture.
By knowing more about sports tools a lot of what he did in 1953, they put the seats directly on the bottom instead of the outside of the frame elements. In addition to providing a more comfortable seating position, it allows a much lower roof. The total height of the Coupe is only 49-1 / 2 inches (52 of 1962 he was standing inches from the floor the upper part of the windshield model). Damp in the tunnel at full scale with a scale model has been carefully tested both 3/8 Body Shape. Only the maximum speed rise and a flat bottom approximately 2 miles to the acceleration in a heavy coat, because it will cause a pain that will not be decided.
The center of gravity, has decreased from 17.5 inches to 19 inches in the model to a level of 1962 and moved backwards slightly. A 20-gallon tank full that is almost exactly 50/50 weight distribution, rear tires maybe carrying 14 pounds more than a total of 3.012. There was a weighted distribution of the model 52.4 1962, and a 16.4-gallon tank with a curb weight of 3,048 pounds a full.
34-pound weight loss may seem surprisingly small, although there are a few reasons for this. Heavy metals in the supplements and use the frame and body to be long-lasting exhaust system with a new single design per 80 kilos. Then there are various luxury products such as electric motors and hinge mechanism with hidden headlamps.
And therefore one of the necessary luxuries is one of the most popular ones, fully adjustable seats deliver. The Commission highly variable backrest and the seats four inches in front-to-rear movement. 1.24 inch seat height above the ground by a margin below the three location. In addition, a set of three inch farther out the wheel on the steering column to get present. Pedals extremely well positioned. The accelerator tunnel near the lateral side of the foot is based on the clutch pedal and the driver to keep himself plenty of Room left. The significance of these adjustments cannot be overestimated, and Chevrolet is encouraging all of us to adopt.
Current heavy-duty type (for example, On the race track), hard front and rear springs and front anti-roll bar, against overturning with the heart cast-aluminum wheels, Extra large (36-1 / 2-gallon gas tank, finned Aluminum brakes, dual master cylinders and front and rear brake pads sintered metallic brakes that separates. Requested by anyone who is planning a serious race competition sting ray kit, for Coupe only.
Frankly, Chevrolet, Convertible, wants to keep away from the race. Clearly, a stronger body structure of the Coupe is undoubtedly one reason. Can not only add robustness to the roof, but that steel rod extending from the frame on both sides and meet on the roof-like supplements include.
