Corvette history:  Totally redesigned front and rear bumper pieces gave the Corvette a striking new look in 1980. Due to tougher emission standards, Corvettes bound for California were fitted with 305 cubic inch engines. In 1980 the Corvette shed some weight and soft spoilers were molded into the bumper caps. Also many Corvette owners got the adrenalin to push the speedometer to the max.... A new federal law mandated speedometers have a maximum reading of only 85 mph
