1957 was a milestone year for the Corvette! It marked the first year for its high performance V8 with a 283 hp fuel-injected engine under its hood. Though its lines were softer, the competition found the new Corvette harder to beat. Zora-Arkus Duntov's meaner more muscular 'Vette placed 1st at Sebring and established the Vette as a world-class sports car. 1957 ... for Corvette it was a very good year!
