Default Corvette trivia

My club mag has some trivia questions. I've got the first two and maybe the fourth. I figured I'd tap into the largest Corvette knowledge pool in the world! :p:

The questions are:
1. What ended in 1982 and began in 1963?

2. What date did the last car roll out of the St. Louis car plant?

3. ASR is traction control but stands for what?

4. In what year did GM produce 4000 fewer Corvettes than the value of the last 5 digits of the VIN of the last car for that year?

5. Who could forget the pretty blue mid year Corvette that was trashed in the movie "Con Air". What was the FBI Agents name that owned the car and who played his character?

:cheers:
