1980 Chevrolet Corvette

In 1980 both the front and rear bumper covers were restyled with built in aerodynamic spoilers, which cut drag a good deal and increased the air flowing to the radiator, and the hood was restyled as well. Weight was saved by fitting the aluminum intake manifold used with the L82 since 1978 to all cars. The aluminum intake manifold used with the L82 engines since 1978 was installed in every car, along with an aluminum lower alternator mounting bracket, to save weight.
