To celebrate, a 35th anniversary model was made available and 2,050 were sold. This option included white paint with a black roof bow, white leather interior including the steering wheel, white painted wheels and special badging inside and out. This option was only available on coupes. New additions for the 1988 Vette included carpeted door sills, solution dyed carpet and improved ventilation for coupes. A new muffler system was standard on coupes with the 3.07:1 rear axle ratio, it provided an extra 5 horsepower due to its less restrictive flow. The new muffler system was deemed too loud for the convertible and the 2.59:1 rear axle ratio coupes and was not installed. Standard brake rotors were thickened and suspension changes were made to improve control during heavy braking. The Z51 and Z52 options were upgraded to include 17 x 9.5 inch wheels with P275/40ZR-17 tires mounted on them. The Z51 option (only available on coupes) also included a finned power steering cooler, higher spring rates and larger front brake rotors and calipers than 1987.
