Default 1990 Tech Article?

I am doing a project for school using my 1990 Z51 Coupe and I need to find some sort of tech sheet like a Road and Track article with all the weights, weight dist, and suspension type etc. Anyone know where I can find one?

Not allot of tech info here basically dealer info & options.

Click the underlined 1990 corvette options text at the bottom for page 2.

I was on Road & Track web site, they had most of the vette articles & tech data. I think it is in the archive section.

Consider also looking for tech articles related to the first year Z51's were produced. It would have been a bigger news item at launch.

This article might help you out too.

If you can get your hands on a copy of "Cor-vette Specs" by Mike Antonick. It has four pages of detailed specs as well as an article on specifics of the '90.
