Vehicle Description
Major change from its predecessor the C4, was a hydroformed box
frame, a design that offered an improved structural platform,
especially for a convertible body style. To improve handling, the
transmission was relocated to form an integrated, rear-mounted
transaxle assembly. Connected to the all-new LS1 engine via a
torque tube, the engine/transmission arrangement enabled a 50-50%
front-rear weight distribution. The LS1 engine initially produced
345 hp.
The C5 was also the first Corvette to incorporate a drive-by-wire
throttle; and variable-effort steering, whereby the assist level of
the power steering is varied according to vehicle speed (more at
lower speeds, less at higher speeds). Also notable, though rarely
discussed, the C5 generation was the first model to adopt the
parallel or 'tandem' windshield wiper configuration, abandoning the
opposed configuration that was used on every previous Corvette
model since the first in 1953.
The C5 is competitive in regards to 0-60 mph acceleration times
with almost all premium sports cars of its era, including the Aston
Martin DB7 Vantage, and the Ferrari 355. A composite of published
performance numbers for the base-model coupe and convertible gives
a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and a standing quarter-mile
time of around 13.3 seconds at 108 mph (both times for a vehicle
equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission.
