Vehicle Description
2002 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The C5 Vette was launched in March of that 1997. It was a
clean-slate rethink of the Corvette formula: two seats, composite
body, pushrod V8 and independent suspension. The C5 shared very few
parts with the earlier Corvettes-or with any other GM products, for
that matter. The engineers took this opportunity to push the
envelope when it came to technology and manufacturing processes,
and the result was a vastly better car than before.
For consignment, a low actual mileage (15,938 miles) 2 owner
vehicle that has a little surprise under the hood...it's
supercharged! Electron Blue is bathing the pristine condition
fiberglass sculpted body which leans toward the rounded and lower
lines of this C5 version. An excellent chance to own a very nice
version of the "Vette" for a very reasonable price...Act now!
Exterior
Electron Blue drapes the exterior of this sculpted fiberglass car.
A sensuous body with hidden headlights, large intakes in the front
bumper, scalloped sides and all very fluid surfaces, this is a
serious performance car. Paint is excellent overall with just a few
faults with minor peel off on the drivers door, and smaller
scratches on the rear roll pan. All else is pure Corvette with the
round taillights within the sculpted bumper and quad exhaust taking
over the bottom middle of the rear of this car. Black trimmings for
all the glass which is pristine condition. 17 inch for the front
and 18 inch for the rear cast aluminum 5 spoke wheels are wrapped
in low profile all season rubber.
Interior
Black leather, power adjustable, high back buckets embroidered in
red with Z06 badging on the headrests await you. You'll notice on
the driver's seat there is wonderful aging with slight folds of age
and light use. Sliding in through the keyless entry system and past
the door panels which are just as sculpted as the exterior, will
put you into a cockpit with an AM/FM/Single CD Sound system with
Bose Speakers, dual zone electronic HVAC, a drivers info center on
the dash above the console, cruise control, and power locks and
power windows. Also, a heads up display projects onto the
windscreen if you like. Black carpeting is covering the floors,
including the rear storage/cargo area which is accessible from the
interior or through the trunk. This car looks fast even on the
inside.
Drivetrain
Speaking of fast, we turn our attention to the heart of the matter
in the 5.7 Liter LS-6 fuel injected supercharged V8 nestled under
the forward tipping hood in a clean engine bay. On the back is a
6-speed T56 manual transmission, and for the rear axle a 3.42 ratio
and is limited slip. All capable of and dyno tested to 549hp to the
rear wheels. I'm blasting through this yellow light, hold on!
Undercarriage
Very clean, nothing but black painted steel and stainless steel and
cast aluminum suspension. Very sound with no rust or surface rust.
Active handling, and 4-wheel power disc brakes with ABS are noted,
along with traction control and a tire pressure monitor.
Drive-Ability
Runs like you are on your way to a 4 alarmer! Ah yes, a fast car
for sure, handles like it's on rails, stops on a dime, and offers
up comfort and convenience for the driver and passenger alike. The
FOB on the driver's door did not open it, so I just used the
key!
Turn the key and you're off like a prom dress, a blue, (albeit
Electron Blue), streak if you will. Feelin' blue? Visit the north
hallway and you will be surely impressed.
