Just bought my first Corvette-a 1995 LT1. It's a one owner, all stock with only 80k original miles. I have 2 questions that I cannot seem to find a good answer to. First-what is the top speed of this stock Corvette with an automatic transmission. Second-what are the best shocks that will instantly improve my handling and ride quality without breaking the bank? I have used HD Bilsteins in the past on other vehicles and they were awesome.

Top speed on a stock '95 would probably be around 160 -165 MPH maybe....... As far as shocks go, Blistein is yor best bet.

How long (age/mileage) should original Bilstiens last?
