Vehicle Description
Newest arrival. More photos coming soon.
This C5 has special upgrades that make it one of the coolest
Corvettes on the road.
The basics: The C5 Corvette features world-class electronics,
near-perfect suspension, and a rigid structure made possible by the
twin, hydroformed side rails. The 1999 Corvettes drive
wonderfully.
A 5.7-liter LS1 engine with 350 pound-feet of torque is of the best
OHV V-8 powerplants in the world. We like the deep-skirted block,
the lightweight pistons and high-flowing aluminum cylinder heads.
The block reduces flex, noise, and vibration. All this to say, the
fiery 345 horsepower LS1 is thunderous.
This Corvette is nicely optioned. Automatic transmission, Black
leather interior with power Sport Seats, memory package, active
handling, solid black Targa Top, AM/FM with cassette & CD player,
dual zone A/C, fog Lamps and body side molding. And, there's
more.
The automatic transmission is rebuilt to more modern 4L65E
specifications. The 65 denotes the rating of the vehicle's torque;
at 65, this is about 360 foot-pounds, the higher the torque, the
stronger the transmission. The E means the transmission is
controlled with an onboard computer. This allows more precise
shifting cues. This is a desirable upgrade.
Also making this a very special C5 are upgraded factory Z06
Corvette wheels, Z06 red brake calipers, factory Z06 titanium
exhaust system and Z06 grills added to the front bumper. It's
beautiful.
The previous owner has maintained meticulous records of all service
and even has records of gasoline put in the car. We like that kind
of Corvette enthusiast.
The C5 Corvettes were praised for being sophisticated, but also
turning animalistic when you step the throttle to the floor taking
off like a rocket ship. This is an extra-special upgraded car for
the money.
