Vehicle Description
1998 Corvette PACE CAR Convertible One of ONLY 1,163 out of 31,084
total production! The C5 convertible made it's debut in 1998 and
was chosen as the pace car for the Indy 500. Only 1,163 pace car
replicas were built sporting purple paint with bright yellow
graphics and wheels. New optional magnesium wheels were introduced
which were painted a bronze color, these lightened the car, and
your wallet costing $3,000. Run-Flat tires were standard on all
cars and avoided having to carry a spare tire. The rear window in
the new convertible is made of glass with a heater element for
defrosting. It also has an express down feature that automatically
opens the tonneau cover and lowers the windows a small amount with
the press of a button. New optional "Active Handling System" (AHS)
applies brakes individually when the car detects that it is
sliding. This new system uses yaw and pitch sensors to determine
how the car is moving and can correct for understeer and oversteer
to keep the car from going out of control. Corvettes equipped with
AHS also have the "Competitive Mode", this mode turns off the
traction control but leaves the AHS active for Gymkhana and
Autocross competition. Dual airbags are standard safety equipment
on C5. Abs - 4-Wheel, Antenna Type - Power, Anti-Theft System -
