  • Except for the addition of roller hydraulic lifters to the Corvette's 350-cid (5.7-liter) V-8, little changed this year.
  • Horsepower got a boost to 240 thanks to new friction-cutting roller-type valve lifters.
  • The 1987 Corvettes also had a higher fuel-economy rating.
  • Joining the option list was an electronic tire-pressure monitor that signaled a dashboard light to warn of low pressure in any tire.
  • Two four-speed transmissions were available: manual or automatic.
  • Standard equipment included power steering; power four-wheel disc brakes (with anti-locking); air conditioning; a theft-deterrent system; tinted glass; twin remote-control mirrors; power windows; intermittent wipers; tilt/telescope steering column; and an AM/FM seek/scan radio.
